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.
Brand Name Comparison:
- Babolat RPM Blast
- Gamma Moto

Great strings. I combine these with Synthetic Gut 16 Ultra-Fibre Racquet String for a solid power with touch.
I’ve already used all 3 Spin Max strings I purchased on 3 friends racquets and they all love the new strings. All three racquets were strung at 50lbs tension.
I've been using Klipper for 15+ years and they stand behind their products. On the rare occasion where something was wrong with the order, they made it right immediately. Their strings and grips are on par with name brands and are true to how they describe them. With as many strings as we go through, it's also nice to save some money without compromising play and feel. We typically use a hybrid of Power Burst and Spin Max 17 for a combo of power, durability, and feel.
Spin Max feels amazing the first hour or two, as you can really feel the string grab the ball and give it an extra kick. That degree of grab/feel levels out after that, but still does a good job thereafter.
A string that provides power and excellent spin. The 5-sided textured surface of this string, along with the thin 17 gauge size of the string, creates a wonderful amount of spin. I string up a fresh racquet every week using a Spin Max/synthetic gut hybrid. One of the benefits of the hybrid strategy is that with half synthetic gut I experience less stress on my arm and shoulder while the Spin Max in the mains still provides the power and spin I’m looking for in my game. Since I string my own racquets I can afford to replace the strings every week. Another reason I do this is because it has been my experience that after three outings (approximately six hours) with a racquet strung with Spin Max I find that the string loses elasticity and provides less power and spin while increasing the discomfort to my arm. I have been playing tennis and stringing my own racquets for more than 30 years.
I have tried more than a dozen types of string. Prior to this my first choice was Sonic Pro Edge but that changed because of elbow and shoulder fatigue. Spin Max 17 provides more pop, great grab, and control. I use it in both the mains and crosses. I keep trying other strings but so far this is number 1.
