| This string has no real weakness. I was positively surprised. Liked it a bit better than the Focus-Hex. Recommendable for players looking for a good affordable string suitable for a wide range of player levels. |

Strung on a drop weight machine.
Played outdoors on clay during hot temperatures.
The stringbed felt quite stiff initially, but then softened up and played nice without losing control. Spin potential was good. Overall good playing characteristics. However for me the Co-Focus 1.23 was not crispy enough in order to continue using it. Good all around characteristics with low power. Great value. |

| Played on carpet and clay. I was especially convinced by the level of control, feel, and tension stability. |

Easy to string.
Only long-term negative aspect: this string is very sensitive to mishits near the frame. |

| Similar to the Poly Plasma, but plays a bit more comfortable and provides a tad more bite, power, and feel. |
