Works wellEnjoyed these new strings for accuracy.
Nice stringI spent a ton of money trying to find a soft poly or co-poly hybrid because I like the extra spin but my old tender elbow just couldn't handle the poly and co-poly strings even with a soft cross or main. Found some soft multifilament strings but was constantly needing to adjust my strings. A full bed of NXT Soft is the best compromise I could find. Easy on my elbow and very good spin and the strings snap back into place almost as well as a poly. The guys I play against say my ball is really jumping off the court with the NXT Soft.

Comments: I am a senior player and tried this string on the advice of a friend, since it is soft and arm friendly. It is a good string and very arm friendly, but it was too soft for me. I am a heavy topspin player off both sides with a fast swing and I had trouble generating the same power with this string. When I tried to up the swing speed to adjust for the softness my shots were landing consistently a little long. Also, when I hit slice backhands, I wasn't getting the same bite. I have since gone back to Volkl V-Square. I think this string would work well for a precision player who wants to move the ball around the court without taking big cuts at the ball.

Comments: I have more information on my previous posts about this string. While it is a really good string for players with arm issues, it bombs out very quickly on tension retention. It could just be a summer temperature thing here in south Texas, but it really drops after stringing. I had to give it up and go back to either Sensation Control or NXT Control. Both of these strings seem to hold tension a lot better and they're not too bad at all on the arm issues.

Comments: I have been using this string since December 2020. I have been keeping records now on tension. I initially strung at 55lbs, 20% pre-stretch on June 8th. The center tension was 57lbs on the mains. The tension has dropped about 10% with just one hitting session in a week. I love the way the string feels but the tension drop is a little too much.

Comments: I have this strung full bed at 50 pounds in my Clash 100L and it's feels so soft. There was no string shifting at all. Older players should give this string a try.

Comments: The best multifilament I've ever tested! The ball pocketing is amazing! I got it strung up in a hybrid with Solinco Confidential at 52 and 55 pounds. Overall an excellent string from Wilson.
