Gosen Proform Tuff 15L. A basic nylon string for the economy minded player

$14

Leoina 66. Who says time doesn't stand still? This one has been around forever and still works. This is a very basic 15 ga nylon. Inexpensive, durable, with okay performance. Slightly textured.

$16

Babolat Super Fine Play. Softer and more elastic than most of the comparably priced synthetics. Being discontinued by Babolat but a few sets of 17 ga still in stock.

$17

Gamma Synthetic Gut. I am stocking this string in both 15L and 16 gauges. Gamma strings tend to be on the elastic side and this is no exception

$17

Head Synthetic Gut PPS 16. Very similar to Prince Synthetic Gut in design, a basic center core construction with a wear resistant layer for added durability. Crisp playability. In White or Gold.

$17

Toa Gold. Most folks are unfamilar with the name, but TOA is one of the largest manufacturers of synthetic strings in the world, if not THE largest, and they make strings for most of the name brands that you do know. Toa Gold is a really nice inexpensive synthetic gut and is available in both 15L and 16 gauges.

$17

Wilson Extreme Synthetic Gut. Wilson's synthetic gut is not as stiff as Prince's which some folks feel has a tendency to play a little on the harsh side especially in racquets with smaller heads. Available in clear in both 16 and 17 ga. Also in black in 16 ga.

$17

Ashaway Superkill II is a 16 ga all purpose racquetball string.

$18

Babolat Conquest was previously known as VS Synthetic Gut. Similar in construction to other synthetic guts except that it has an unusual coating that allows the strings to move independently a bit more. In general a very smooth performer and available in both 16 and 17 gauge.

$18

Still the best selling string in the world. Prince Synthetic Gut in my opinion is the stiffest of the synthetic guts and not vastly different from Wilson's, Gamma's or Head's or anybody else's synthetic gut for that matter. Good playability, good durability, good price and in an array of colors. The vanilla of tennis strings.

$18

Prince Lightning XX 16. Hey! This stuff is pretty! It has shiny spirals in it! Prince calls them Powerfoils and the even better news is they actually work! This string has some real pop! In clear, hot pink, blue and yellow.

$19

Prince Topspin. The original 15L version with one enlarged outer filament to add texture. A basic nylon string with a dedicated following.

$19

Prince Topspin Plus 16 is similar to the original Topspin but is thinner in gauge and has two enlarged outer filaments for texture instead of just one.

$19

Dunlop Dura Ace 17. Nice combination of feel and durability in an inexpensive package. For squash only!

$20

Yonex BG-65 is probably the best selling badminton string in the world. Modestly priced all purpose string. String is 0.70mm. Available in white only.

$20

Ashaway SuperNick XL Pro is a textured 17 ga string specifically designed for use in squash racquets. Multifilament core with a double braided jacket for durability. Color: Deep Blue

$22

Head FXP 16. A recent addition to Head's Control String line. It's got it's roots in the synthetic gut world but there's polyester in there too, just enough so you'd know it.

$22

Head RIP Control. An unusually durable multifilament with excellent control. Somewhat dead. I usually like to have string breakers try this one first before we start into the polyesters. Available in 16 gauge.

$22

Gamma TNT has become the mainstay of the Gamma line. A very smooth playing synthetic. The 17 gauge version is a particularly nice performer. Durability is fairly average.

$24

Wilson Sensation. I nursed by arm back from a pretty bad case of tennis elbow with this string. Reasonably soft multifilament string at a good price. Available in both 16 and 17 gauges. Not a bad choice for a cross string in polyester hybrids either.

$24

Head Intellistring is a hybrid set in Head's line of "Power" strings, so it's intended to be on the lively side and was original equipment in several of the Intelligence series racquets. I carry this one by request.

$25

Yonex BG-85 is an ultra thin high performance synthetic badminton string that incorporates Vectran fibers for high repulsion power. More powerful smashes and better tension maintenance. 0.67mm. In white.

$25

Gamma Live Wire 16 has been around for several years, but until now I chose not to carry it. It's a lively multifilament that is easy on the arm and I expect it to fill the void left by the now discontinued tennis elbow string, Gamma RX.

$26

Gamma Prodigy 16 is a lively offering from the folks at Gamma featuring what they call coaxial construction in addition to their patented gamma irradiation process. The design is intended to provide the best of both worlds: the playability of a multifilament and the tension maintenance of a solid core string. Only in 16 gauge.

$27

Prince Premiere w/Softflex. Prince's entry into the already crowded multifilament category. It's in the same vein as Wilson NXT, Tecnifibre NRG and Babolat Xcel Premium. Good choice if you are looking for a softer string to tone down an overly stiff racquet perhaps.

$27

Tecnifibre NRG. French made multifilament. Available in both 16 and 17 gauge. One of the best synthetics out there. If you want performance, definitely worth a try.

$27

Gamma Live Wire XP is similar in construction to the original Live Wire but with the addition of Zyex fibers the playability is crisper and the string is also more durable. In 16 and 17 gauge.

$28

Tecnifibre 505 HPR 17 Racquetball. Hi performance string for players seeking the ultimate in power and comfort.

$28

Babolat Xcel replaces what was previously called Xcel Premium. In this updated version Babolat uses a new bonding agent that is intended to maintain the soft feel of the original while improving durability. One of the softest strings out there, so not a bad choice for sore arms. I am carrying this string in both 16 and 17 gauges.

$30

Prince Recoil 16. Do you hate it when your strings move around? This string may be the answer to your prayers. A special coating from the folks at Gore-Tex allows the strings to maintain alignment hit after hit improving the consistency of your shots. At a special introductory price of $30.

$30

Tecnifibre X-One Biphase: I am carrying this in both 16 and 17 ga. Not quite as powerful as NRG but still comfort oriented. Holds tension pretty well for a coreless multifilament.

$30

Originally known as Wilson Sensation NXT but now simply as NXT, this is a high quality multifilament that is bonded with polyurethane. Personally, I think the original Sensation feels better, but the NXT lasts longer. I might be alone on that score. Have heard that NXT and Tecnifibre NRG come out of the same factory. Dunno. They ARE similar in playability. In both 16 and 17 gauges.

$30

Wilson NXT Tour 16. I am carrying this string by request. This is the top of the line in the NXT series, a collection of synthetics that Wilson says play like natural gut.

$34

Wilson K-Gut Pro 16. High performance multifilament from the folks at Wilson. Power, control, comfort, durability all in one package.

$35
