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

$16

Head Synthetic Gut 16. Head recently moved production from Japan to Taiwan and dropped the PPS from the string name. The new version is somewhat more elastic than the previous version. A basic general purpose nylon composite in White or Black.

$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 many of the name brands that you do know. Toa Gold is a really nice inexpensive synthetic gut. Available in 15L only.

$17

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. In 16 ga: Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Purple, Silver, Gold, Blue and White. In 17 ga: White only.

$20

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

MSV Focus Hex . German made string and as the name implies the string is hex shaped for added spin potential. Excellent tension maintenance for a polyester string and not bad in the comfort dept either. Available in 1.10 and 1.18mm

$22

MSV Heptatwist is similar in feel to Focus Hex but is seven sided and twisted to impart even more spin. Very similar to Solinco's Barb Wire. In black in both 1.20mm and 1.25mm.

$22

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, red, yellow, blue and black. Also available in clear and black in 17 gauge. Highly recommended for racquetball too!

$22

Forten Sweet Aramid used to be called Sweet Kevlar. This is a hybrid set for chronic string breakers. Nice and dead. Available in 16 gauge only.. Very similar to Prince's Pro Blend, just a lot less expensive. Not a good choice for anyone with a sore elbow.

$23

Weiss Cannon Silverstring . Similar in feel to Luxilon's Fluoro, this co-poly string provides easy access to spin and a cushioned response at an unbeatable price. In 1.20mm and 1.25mm.

$23

Forten Thin Blend. This is a very thin version of a Kevlar hybrid. The main strings are 18 ga Kevlar composite and the crosses are 17 ga synthetic gut. For big hitters who are hooked on that dead Kevlar feel but are willing to sacrifice some durability for some added playability.

$24

Signum Pro Poly Plasma 1.18, 1.23 and 1.28mm diameters. Poly Plasma is a bright orange co-poly that has better than average tension maintenance for a poly based string and plays a bit softer than Luxilon.

$24

Tecnifibre Pro Redcode 17. A comfort oriented co-poly with a lively response and a wallet friendly price. Not as stiff as Razor Code and not as soft as Black Code.
