Tecnifibre X-One Biphase 18 1.18

My latest go-to string

Once upon a time, I switched from VS gut to Technifibre. I loved how it played. Years later (decades actually) string technology changed and I got older. To compensate, I started using stiffer and thinner string so I could get a bite on the ball while maintaining some string durability. Unfortunately, my durability came into question. Again. Only this time, I needed rest and an equipment change rather than another hospital visit. As much as I liked Solinco Tour Bite 18, my geezerly elbow and forearm couldn't take the punishment any longer. Not only is the X-One Biphase 18 pain-free to use, it reminds me of the lively strings I enjoyed yesteryear while still getting the desired bite on the ball when employing spins. For me, I got 20 good sets out of my string job, plus another eight practice sets before a string broke. That's perfectly acceptable to me -- improved playability and comfort over being a bit more expensive and fewer sets of play. (I use a Yonex 95 as a point of reference, and probably would have retired the string job after 15 more practice sets instead of the eight.)

Awesome

Fantastic feel, great combination of generating power and spin. Also, very manageable/easy to work with while stringing the racquet. Babolat Pure Strike Team

Great string

Nice playable string and it plays better after second time playing with it. Freshly strong racquet might not play as soft as you expect! I cannot talk about durability since I only played with it 4 times with an injured wrist. I use it on Wilson Clash at 48 lbs.
