STRING KONG SPIN DRILL PWR Limited Edition
STRING KONG - SPIN DRILL - POWER - limited edition is the new creation of String Kong father Ivan Buffoni.
Other new sets from the Italian brand include SPIN DRILL - CONTROL, SPIN DRILL - FEEL and the YETI 2; hybrid
combinations developed to satisfy all the player requests and fantasies... also the strangest!
The SPIN DRILL POWER string set includes an hybrid combination composed of a 1.25mm monofilament co-
polyester twisted string and a polyamide structured surface multifilament in 1.30mm gauge.
The pulling traction test from 5 to 35kg highlighted
a very soft response for the twisted polyester and
a very progressive, but always soft response for the
multifilament, with the typical slope of polyamide
strings.
Tension stability and string durability are quite good as also the dynamic response that doesn’t change
dramatically in short time even of you have to expect some assessment in the first two hours of play.
Recommended tensions if you want to have best
combination in terms of power, spin, control and
feeling are around 20-22kg (on 98”-100” head-size)
avoiding the “table effect” given by polyamide strings
over 23-24kg, but you can change mains and crosses
tension, also differentiating, depending on what you
are looking for in terms of power or control.
A HIGH QUALITY HYBRID STRINGSET FOR A LARGE
AMOUNT OF PLAYERS GOING FROM CLUB PLAYERS,
COMPETITIVE JUNIORS AND SENIORS PLAYERS, RACING
TENNIS PLAYERS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING WITH A
VERY STRONG SPIN ATTITUDE WITH THE FEELING AND
THE COMFORT OF THE HYBRID SOLUTION.
Check also the “reverse” combination with
multifilament on the mains and twisted polyester on
crosses.
You could be amazed by the spin production and the
outstanding behavior of the twisted-poly string on
horizontals due to the low friction and great snap-
back of this structured spring-string.
