Customer Reviews
Great string for crossesI used Babolat Synthetic Gut on the crosses with Babolat Hurricane on the main strings. The combination provides good feel and spin and great comfort. And I rarely break a string after years of being a string breaker. I’m a 4.0 player and play 3 times a week. Usually restring every 2-3 months
Great for the priceAmazing string for the price. I've used it multiple times and always find myself coming back to it.
Highly recommend it. Prefer the 17g over the 16g
Not a bad string for the priceI was looking for 660' reels of plain synthetic gut. I have always used Gosen OG Sheep Micro, but per the TW String Performance Database, I decided to try Babolat Synthetic due to the high spin potential (6.0). My players and I didn't notice any significant spin enhancement. It's not a bad string, but I'm going to stick with the Gosen that has been my go-to string for many years.

It’s not what I wanted, but it could beI bought this product because I thought it would give me amazing snapback and spin (issue with only using data for ideas). While it wasn’t great at giving spin and snapback, it did perform as a synthetic gut could and gave me more power. Not for a cross in a poly/synth hybrid unless you want to adjust 300 strings in a match.

Comments: Supposedly this is the Spiraltek string that has been re-named to replace Babolat's plain synthetic gut. Great string that does everything decently. Is more on the controlled, crisp side for synthetic gut or multifilament strings, but still has adequate power, good comfort, and feel. Can't beat the value.
