| My clients and I liked Kirschbaum's basic synthetic better than Tecnifibre's. At about the same price, it's an upgrade in my opinion. |

| I like both Black Code and Pro RedCode. I enjoyed the Pro RedCode a little more. The comfort of the Black Code was better but overall value led me to Pro RedCode. |

| It was a pretty solid poly. I had a lot of difficulty stringing with it because it was difficult to move the string. I always two piece my frames with a poly in the mains and synthetic or multifilament in the crosses and this string cut the crosses badly. It had a high amount of power and spin production. Decent string, got it as a sample from Dunlop because of my sponsorship but wouldn't pay the high retail cost for the string. |

| The worst string I have ever used. Bought a reel from Fromuth without high expectations. The string constantly broke in the knot area. I string for the team I coach and went through a whole reel in 2 months during our offseason. My friend bought a reel as well and had the same breaking problem in the knot. Just terrible string. |

| I love this string and it has become my go-to synthetic in my crosses. I use it constantly, it lasts a long time, is very soft, and has great feel. |

| I love natural gut although I can't afford paying for it. The Bow Brand Championship was the best natural I have ever played. It had more feel and added to the precision of my shots greatly. |

| I haven't played many different natural gut strings but this is the best one I have played. I received it from a rep from Bow Brand without having to pay for it or I don't think I would have put up the money for the hefty price tag. It probably had more feel than any synthetic I have ever played and was extremely comfortable on the arm. |

| This was the first 18 gauge string I ever played. It lasted only a short period of time but played really well during that time. A very good synthetic. |

| The durability being way worse is because it was an 18 gauge string. I generally like the Alpha Gut 2000 better than the Prince Synthetic Gut. |
