    Specs and features: Colored string rolls now available! String performance ■GOSEN rates string performance on the following four characteristics. Each characteristic is rated on a 10-point scale, and the higher the number, the better. These ratings compare products within the same string series, not across all GOSEN strings. [Durability] Indicates the strength of the string. GOSEN fires tennis balls at 100 km/h for nylon strings and 120 km/h for poly strings, and uses the number of hits until the string breaks as the measure. The higher the number, the better the durability. [Repulsion] Indicates how far and how crisply the ball flies. The coefficient of restitution is measured using GOSEN's own method. The higher the number, the farther the ball flies. [Softness] Indicates how soft the feel is. It is rated using stiffness values from physical testing and players' impressions from human testing. The higher the number, the softer the feel. [Spin/Drive] Indicates how much spin the string puts on the ball. It is rated from spin rates in high-position and low-position drop tests. The higher the number, the more easily spin and drive are applied.

    • Hi

      Tony (Experience:6-10 years) Durable, but…

      My strings kept breaking, so I chose this one because it's said to be durable.
      It seemed to fuzz up quickly at first, but after that it lasted a long time and held up well.

      On the other hand,
      ① the tension dropped fairly quickly, maybe because the string stretches
      ② the feel is dull, and it's not a string with snappy repulsion
      That's my impression.

    • YGK LINE

      YGK LINE (Experience:11-20 years) Recommended for high-tension stringing. Outstanding durability.

      At 0.69mm, it's reasonably strong. The defining feature of this string is that even after the surface starts fuzzing, it's quite resistant to breaking.
      I really like that the sound is high-pitched for its thickness.
      Price-wise, if you buy a reel, you can get it much cheaper than Brand Y's strings.

    • Yasunori

      Yasunori (Experience:4-5 years) Bought a 100m reel

      Honestly, durability and sound are about the only string qualities I can tell.
      I've given up on performance and design and prioritize economy.

      I use it at 23 lbs.
      Playing twice a week, it lasts 3 months.
