Solinco Outlast 18/1.15 String
5.0
Overview
Solinco Outlast is a co-polyester string that offers a softer stringbed than traditional polyesters. We found the string to put a very tight grip on the ball, giving us the ability to load the ball with extra spin. Great on its own or as part of a hybrid, this string is perfect for the big all court player. Try this ultra thin 18 gauge version for maximum spin!

Main stringCombo this in the mains with Babolat RPM Team 17 Black in the crosses and you get the most crispiness, control, feel, launch angle, duration, and spin. It's everything in one package.
Great cross for hybridsThis string is a great cross because it is of the most slippery (when used as a cross, allows good snapback) that also has good tension maintenance and doesn't go dead. As a cross, its playability and slipperiness will last until your main breaks, getting the most out of your main regardless of whether it's expensive gut or more budget-friendly options such as Prince Synthetic Gut Duramax or Gamma Synthetic Gut Wearguard (I've tried all these combos, they work great). As a full bed, it's meh, nothing special, like many others, but as a cross it really shines. Outlast is made for the rec player because its key feature is consistency over time--whereas most poly strings are great initially and decline, Outlast is perhaps not as spectacular in the first hour but it keeps on keeping on. A rare case of a truthfully-named product. Compare it to Head Hawk 18. Hawk is a bit more slippery, Outlast is a bit more comfortable and a bit more powerful. I can tell the difference blind but I'm not sure which I prefer, so I go back and forth. They are very close to each other.
