5 Stars Great Playability - Excellent Value!

PJL from IL wrote (May 12, 2016):

I got a set of Gamma Syn. Gut 16g with the X-ST stringer I bought from Midwest Sports. Truth be told, it sat in a drawer for months until I decided to string it in a 14 yr. old Pure Control Team I keep at my in-laws. It sat over there for a year after I strung it before I took it out during a visit. I have to say I was more than pleasantly surprised at its feel and playability; so much so that I brought the racquet back home with me to use more b/c I liked the feel so much. ~50 hrs. of court time later and it's still going strong . For the price, this is a great all around synthetic. Highly recommended if you're looking for a no-nonsense string. This is a great playing string and a tremendous value at this price.

Larry Kirk from KY wrote (March 12, 2016):

Was having trouble keeping strings in racquet. A friend put me on to these about five years ago. He too, played with a wide body racquet, and the durability of these are great. I have since changed racquets (about one year ago), no longer a wide body, and use these in the new one. Love the feel these strings give for drops, spins, overheads, just all shots. The durability is the best for me.

5 Stars go to synthetic gut

This is a great string. It looses tension quick so I would account for that in the stringing unless you are going hybrid or per-streching them

5 Stars Prince Topspin Duraflex

Ken Santlal from MA wrote (January 30, 2016):

About 15 years ago I tried many topspin strings and settled on Prince topspin. Then I discovered the Duraflex (PTD) version and it lasts twice as long -it's very forgiving and generates power when you have to. The string gives me good bite on the ball and gets it over the net but in the court. I've tried other hot-shot strings that the 'pros play with' that gave me more power but no control and also can't stand the metallic titanium feel - the guys who recommended those 'power' strings all have shoulder problems!. So back to PTD and all's well. Just ordered a dozen packs for the year.

5 Stars Great Power & Great Touch

mpfrench from AL wrote (December 22, 2015):

I've been using this string for about two years and love it. I install it in a stiff frame at 45 LBS which gives a soft feel and great power. Furthermore, this setup gives great touch.

5 Stars One of the Best Control Strings

Excellent feel and control, along with comfort and good spin effect for Spin configured racquets. Used in Hybrid configuration with poly on the mains.

Hamza from NY wrote (December 11, 2015):

The racket has strong durability and maintain tension after a good a period of playing time. Like the control and spin created by the 17g string.

5 Stars Excellent feel

Emanuel from MD wrote (July 21, 2015):

This is probably the best synthetic string money can buy. The 17 version feels just like a natural gut. Keeps tension well. Lasts fairly long with denser string patterns; breaks rather quickly with very open string patters. I tried at least 2 dozen different strings. But since I tried this I'm fully committed to the Gamma Professional 17.

5 Stars Good buy

JackTennis from MA wrote (July 17, 2015):

Prince Syn Gut 17G is a great buy. I hit flat with a head light racket and this string feels soft and provides great control when strung at 58 lbs. I wouldn't say that the playing properties last as long as other more expensive strings or that it provides maximum power but you can't beat the price and it will relieve some of the stress on your arm produced by stiffer strings.

Ron Hills from FL wrote (July 06, 2015):

I love this string. I usually string my racquets with poly mains and Gosen Proform on my cross strings, and o love the durability and the feel. It is a very good string to string and for the money you can't beat it. I string a lot of the guys I play tennis with during the week of all levels, and they love it. I have used this string for at least ten years, and I have nothing bad to say about it.

I use this as cross string for my wilson blade racquet. It softens the contacts as full poly was hurting my arm.

5 Stars Fantastic string

Len from VA wrote (May 30, 2015):

This string is great. It is lively yet easy on the arm. I particularly like its feel and feedback. It is not harsh like a mono-filament, and it also provides a great combination of power and control. I string it at 52 lbs, which is the lower range of the recommended tension for my racquet.

5 Stars Gamma Live Wire Pro Spin Strings

PB from ME wrote (April 04, 2015):

Really great strings, do all they promise. Great feel, touch and control with good power. They absolutely bite the ball, and stop hard serves like a catcher's mitt -- return them like a curve ball. We've all seen how pros sometimes hit a ball wide by a foot or more that curls back into court, these strings have that kind of controlled spin. Will put on all my racquets eventually.

5 Stars Good cross string

Jason from CA wrote (February 20, 2015):

Gosen makes a quality made in Japan single core synthetic gut comparable to prince synthetic gut and other well known synthetic guts. I use it as a cross string in a poly/synthetic gut hybrid. The white version is a bit stiffer than the natural colored one. So if you prefer a softer string, get the natural color. I get a bit more spin on my serve using the 17 vs the 16 gauge.

4 Stars durability and extra spin

Nonnie Sibal from CA wrote (January 27, 2015):

With the price of this string, you will be amaze on what it can do if you want extra spin with your shots. Lower the tension to get that extra kick.

Great feel, Good spin, not for a frequent string breaker. I am a 57 year old 3.5 -4 level doubles player playing 4 times per week. I tried poly for one match and took it out right after, it was to hard on my arm and no feel. Gamma syn gut has the right balance of feel and spin and it is easy on my arm. I would recommend giving it a try if you do not like polyester and are not a frequent string breaker.

5 Stars String Review

Grant from KY wrote (December 09, 2014):

My wife has played this string for a decade. After an arm injury I decided to go away from the polyester hybrid I've been using for years. To my surprise I still find plenty of spin with these strings and overall my control and feel are much improved. I honestly like these strings better than the polys... there is a bit less spin than those offer, but the feel, control, depth and overall touch are all better... In the end this string is pretty hard to beat.

5 Stars Inexpensive quailty string

Richard from CA wrote (September 30, 2014):

Solid all around string. Not hard on your arm like a poly and much more durable than the multifilaments.

5 Stars Best Synthetic

Stringer from IN wrote (September 30, 2014):

Prince Syn Gut with Duraflex is the best synthetic gut available. I have strung many racquets with different types of synthetic and this one definitely lasts the longest and is the perfect combination with a polyester string. I use it for all levels, from beginners who string their whole racquet with this, to highly competitive players who use a hybrid.

5 Stars Great string for the price

Len from PA wrote (September 15, 2014):

This string has the feel of much more expensive string. I used to be a chronic string breaker and could not use a 17 gauge string. However, with this string I use 17 gauge and get the spin and feel I like but the string lasts much longer than other strings I have used.

I bought this reel solely for the purpose of using it as a cross string in a hybrid with a poly. They work great and I wouldn't hesitate to use them with any polys. I also use them for my customers who don't prefer a specific synthetic gut in their racquet. They are cheap, and very efficient as well! Great buy.

5 Stars Great buy, great price.

You can't fairly rate a string unless you consider how much you pay for it. This string is an awesome value. A 660' reel for $17 ???? Are you joking. I've been using this string as my "base" level string for my customers and everyone loves it, considering the price. Sure, there may be players that "think" their game deserves more, and maybe that's a valid point for some. But this string is every bit what most people need.
