New String Playtest from Wilson

I just received a new string from Wilson to playtest. Unlike known strings, this one is simply known as a number, not a name. Since it's a prototype, it's not available to the public and may never be available. Wilson will take all the playtesters reviews and make a decision on whether to bring it out or not. Of course, I'll keep you udated after the results come in from Wilson and let you know when and if it'll be available, and at what price.

After I'm done with my current playtest (SuperString Nikita Soft 1.25), I'll post that review and move on to this one. Keep watching...

SuperString Nikita Soft 1.25 Playtest

I've been slected to playtest a new string from SuperString. Their website www.supertennistring.com indicates that the Nikita Soft 1.25 "Is a Co-Polymer composition of the extra-class. A complex mixture of new materials and additives (rubber) which provides a crisp soft feeling, elasticity and a high level of forgiveness and power."

I rec'd my playtest sample today and strung it up for a quick hit. Initial thoughts are that it is softer than many polys I've hit with and has good potential. Of course, I'll have to go through the complete analysis first before any final conclusions can be made. I'll be hitting tomorrow and through the week with it and will post my results after that.

In the meantime, it does look like it holds some promise. Now, let's see if it will live up to the company's marketing.
