Kirschbaum Xplosive Speed 17/1.23 String Reel - 660'
Overview
Introducing Xplosive Speed - a comfortable co-poly with massive spin potential and surgical targeting on full swings. With its grippy five sided profile, Xplosive Speed puts a tight grip on the ball, making it easier for the strings to grab and load the ball with spin. Designed with softening agents, this string has above average comfort for a poly-based monofilament. Kirschbaum pre-stretches Xplosive Speed using their ThermoFusion Technology. The result, according to our playtest team, is a longer lasting playability. Intermediate players looking for a lively and comfortable co-poly with huge spin-potential should love this one.

Comments: I got to try this string. I was very impressed with the power I was getting, especially on serves, not to mention the placement. I have been using different 18 gauge Kirschbaum strings for a few weeks now. All are top quality and easy on the arm.

Comments: I thought this string played great. I have been using this 17 gauge full bed in an 18x20 K7 Lime with about 16 hours of playing on it. The biggest standouts for me are the power and comfort. It is a soft feeling poly that has great pocketing and above average spin potential. I had it strung at 52 pounds and so far tension has held up great despite it being on the softer side. What I like about this string is it instantly feels settled in and gives me great comfortable feedback. I am playing this beside the Tourna Big Hitter Silver 7 Tour in the same gauge and frame to decide my string of choice. The Tourna is sharper, crisper feeling, and stiffer, but has outstanding tension maintenance and longevity.
