Diadem Solstice Power 17/1.20 String Reel - 660'
4.7
Overview
Diadem Solstice Power is a comfortably firm co-poly with a six-pointed star shape. The result is a string that combines a low-friction surface with maximum ball bite. In other words, this string was built for spin - massive spin. Intermediate and advanced players looking for a comfortable co-poly with pinpoint control have come to the right place.

Need for spin...If you crave for spin this is your best friend. It will top Tecnifibre 4S, Gamma Ocho, etc. Works best on dense string beds, low tension.

Good for intermediate or an advanced playerI'm a solid 3.5 player looking at more power and better control without customizing my racquet beyond the current specs. This string, especially at the lower gauges provides good pop, expected feel/response, and ample power. After hitting with it for ~3 months, playing 6 hours a week I finally replaced it. I am typically not a string breaker.
Fine StringI chose this string because I was looking for something different and interesting. The string holds tension fairly well for what I used it for (high school). Not outstanding compared to other polys, but its fine for intermediate level players.

Comments: I don't recommend this string. In the range of polys, it seems expensive. However, it could be that Cyclone is just much more affordable. But price aside, this string loses tension and playability very quickly. The rough sides quickly wore down. The biggest downside for me was that this particular string breaks quickly. I'm not a poly string breaker at all. But the 3 times I've used this string (once in a full bed and twice as a hybrid) the string has broken, even before the cheap synthetic gut I had, around the 4 hour mark. That's pretty terrible. Super disappointed.

Comments: I enjoyed this string for a poly, which I rarely play with. However, this string lasted less than a normal multifilament that I use (NRG or Premier). I got 7 hours out of this and the strings snapped dead center on a serve. Plays softer, with minimal power.
From:Joe, 6/16
Comments: Fantastic strings. Very similar in performance to RPM Blast, but with a different feel. These strings are very powerful, but, at the same time, very controllable. The 17 gauge is extremely confortable on the arm. So much spin and control with a soft feel. Used it at 50 lbs on my Graphene XT Instinct MP. Works like a charm!
From:Carlos, 4/16
Comments: Great string that is softer and more poweful than Volkl Cyclone, but has better control and feel, though a little less power than Cyclone Tour. I have found very good control even when strings were weeks old -- a point at which I would normally have cut out most soft co-polys. Also feels quite light for a poly, even a 17 g. one. Think this is great in a hybrid. I'm a 5.0 player.
