I like this string and I use it for several of my customers. It is durable, but responsive, and has a decent lifespan for heavy top spin hitters.
I'm using Spin Max my and my customer Mains, between 52 and 55 pounds, and Power Rough in the Crosses 2 pounds less. We're all very happy with the easy-to-achieve spin and control!
I first tried it as a free sample when I won a Klippermate stringing machine in an auction. It provides the right amount of power and spin for my game. I normally struggle with predictable power, but my spin production is not a problem. With Zyex in the crosses, this is heavenly. The launch angle is easily controllable and I can easily adjust between power and spin off a Head Extreme Pro racquet.
It is cheaper, but not by much. Still it is an adequate replacement.
I recommend trying it as a hybrid.
I string all my racquets with a full bed of the “power burst rough” and is much better then the comparable Luxillon and Babolat. It creates more spin, control, and power then the big companies.
Prompt shipping and good materials. I've been a customer for many years and have never had any problems.
