Spin Max 17 Racquet String
Sport: Tennis
Color: Black
Gauge: 17 / 1.25mm
Resiliency: R-7
Durability: D-7.5
General Info:
This 5-sided co-poly string offers max spin potential. The surface allows the strings to slide as they grab the ball, adding spin as they snap back into place. This 17 gauge version offers slightly more feel and bite compared to the 16 gauge version.
Benefits:
A "game-changing" string that provides unparalleled spin and action on the ball. Place the ball wherever you want with tremendous control. Hit deeper shots with more spin. Players taking big cuts will find shots normally going long will now drop into the court. Spin Max holds tension longer than similar type strings. Softer co-poly material is easier on the arm and provides a softer feeling on drop shots.
Player Type:
Power hitting topspin player who wants more spin, power, and control.
Construction:
High-density co-polyester monofilament with a cross-linked silicone polymer coating and a 5-sided outer structure.

My racket specifies 45-55#. I strung at 50 for the mains until the last hole which I did at 57 (after tying the knot, it went to 38). 50# for the crosses.
It does grab the ball! Would I string it looser? Maybe, if I get more spin that might give me more control. Just one hitting session, but kick serves seem more kicky than than Solinco Tourbite Soft 17.
I'm happy!
Great string! I use it in combination with Soft Poly. I have no idea how long it lasts. Doesn’t move, doesn’t stretch, doesn’t break!
These strings provide a lot of grip for spin. They will wear quicker because if it though. I've found they are most effective at a higher tension (57+) as the control drops significantly for me below 55lbs
