Comments: I bought this string a couple of months ago, and the string itself I like, especially for the price. The one thing that I find odd is that the string is oily. Every time I use it I get this residue on my hands which then gets on the racquet I'm stringing and the machine. I don't know if this is normal. If this is normal, I will definitely have to try another brand. Aside from that it's a decent string. There isn't really much else to say. It is a synthetic gut, and you get what you pay for. I use it in a hybrid set up with Volkl Cyclone. I haven't decided if I prefer it in the mains or crosses. Although, it does seem to last longer before breaking when used as a cross string.

Comments: I use Volkl Classic Synthetic Gut 17 String as a cross. It is slippery/sticky depending on the mains.I string my mains with: Gosen Tecgut Remplir -- slippery even after prolonged used and Ashaway Dynamite WB 16g -- slippery for a while (30 minutes) then becomes a little less slippery. I will update as I use it with other Mains.

Comments: I thought that this string was slippery (low string to string friction). It is, but only before use. After hitting for a few minutes, it became sticky (high string to string friction). I will try it by itself next time.
