Sport: Tennis, Racquetball, Squash
Gauge: 17 / 1.25mm
Resiliency: R-9
Durability: D-7
General Info:
The replacement for natural gut, this string provides the ultimate in power and control. Crisp, solid feel enhances topspin with less shock to the arm. This 17 gauge version offers slightly more feel and bite compared to the 16 gauge version.
Benefits:
Feel and playability similar to natural gut but with the added strength of Zyex fibers. Digs deep into the nap of the ball for added bite.
Player Type:
Competitive tournament players.
Construction:
A core of Zyex filaments with two layers of composite outer wraps.
Brand Name Comparison:
Felt great until they broke after just 15 serves.
I usually use a hybrid set up, with sterling mains and Head control crosses. I used the Zyex 17 for a softer arm friendly feel. The only complaint I have is that the strings move quite a bit and I need to use string savers. I use the old iS12 Head which has a 14 main, 16 cross pattern, with wide spaces.
A very nice string
I've been using zyex strings from Klipper for 30 some years. Every time I try another I always come back to these.
I use a Wilson blade strung at 54 lbs. Since I'm now a senior player I use 17 gauge. I play 5 x per week and the strings last a month.
Very comfortable, no arm problems.
They are worth a try if your looking for a change.
