Solinco Mach-10 18/1.15 String
4.0
Engineered for power and spin
Developed over several years of relentless testing, Mach 10 was originally known as 10jx and Confidential 4.0. It is Solinco's most technologically advanced string to date. The secret sauce is called CloudFORM, a unique chemical agent that softens the string without the usual tradeoffs in playability duration. With five sharp edges for enhanced bite and a low-friction surface for vicious snapback, Mach 10 is extremely spin-friendly. Factor in the higher power level, and you get a heavy ball that drops hard and explodes off the court.
- Gauge: 18/1.15
- Length: 40ft/12m

My New Go ToI've been experimenting with strings and have four racquets string up - Hyper-G, RS Zero, RS Zero/Sync, and Vanquish/TB. Been looking for 'The' string for me, and I found it. Mach 10 isn't the most powerful, spin friendly, or touch oriented but it does everything well. Crisp yet soft, responsive yet firm. Hard to describe but it offers a little extra pop and some good feel. 48 pounds on 2024 Head Speed MP.
ArtworkI'm a 5.5 player that likes to play the thinnest gauge and string often. The Mach 10 18 gauge is perfect. Strung at 50 pounds, this string is geared to hurt my opponents' feelings. This string is precise, holds tension very well, (double pull on mains and crosses) and gives me the power and touch to really execute great shots.
Not What I ExpectedI generally play with 20 gauge Hyper G. Of the various polys I've tried, it provides the best combination of spin and power. I tried Mach 10 (18 gauge) because I wouldn't mind getting a little more power and feel. Mach 10 definitely delivers more pop. But it utterly fails to deliver the spin I'm accustomed to with Hyper G. That was a surprise. To me, Mach 10 plays like a synthetic gut, not a poly. It probably will help players who have arm trouble due to poly. But that's not me. I've watched a quite a few positive Mach 10 reviews. Some say it's a gateway poly for players who haven't played with a poly before. Whatever. I have great respect for Solinco, but I can't recommend this stuff, except maybe for players who desperately need something softer. Even then, I suspect there are better options.
