I've only played with this for 2 hours so far, so no comment of durability. However, they are some of the best strings when it comes to overall playability. Spin, touch, control, feel, it's all there in this one. Power not included, so be sure to bring your own (especially on serve). Nowadays you can find these at $6.35, and I can't think of a better string for the money.

62/62 lbs Wilson nBlade (OS, 18/19)
Absolute Rating Durability Power Control Feel Comfort Spin Tension Stability
I play predominately on hard courts, indoor and outdoor, with a Wilson nBlade racquet. At first I strung this at the same tension I used to string NXT, 55 lbs crosses and mains, and didn't like it at all. I got better spin and liked the muted sound of the strings, but lost a lot of control, especially on volleys. It wasn't until I upped the tension to 62 lbs that this string really started to shine for me. My control was better than with NXT, had much better spin with a little less power and about the same feel and comfort, and at the higher tension my volleys started to really pop.

Durability Power Control Feel Comfort Spin Tension Stability
I had to tension this string about 7 lbs tighter to get the same feel as NXT, but once I did I got better control, much better spin, and I have yet to break a set before I cut it out, which happens after about 12 to 14 hours of play. In comparison I would pop a string with NXT after 8 to 10 hours of play.
