Ashaway SuperNick ® ZX Micro Squash String Provides Precise Touch , Maintains Tension , and Maximizes Power
-- New 18 Gauge String incorporates a nylon multifilament core in special ZX wear layer of Zyex ® filaments
Ashaway has introduced SuperNick ® ZX Micro , a new 18-gauge ( 1.15 mm ) squash string with a multifilament nylon core wrapped in a special wear layer of Zyex ® filaments . Designed to provide precise touch while maintaining excellent tension control , SuperNick ZX Micro is intended for players who require superior durability , better control and increased power , but still want the feel of a nylon core SuperNick string .
" What makes Zyex so good for racquet strings is its low dynamic stiffness ," said Ashaway ' s Steve Crandall . " This allows the strings to stretch and recover more completely than other synthetic materials , thus generating more power with less impact shock . When you combine the Zyex wear layer in SuperNick ZX Micro with a multifilament nylon core , you get that soft feel and precise touch that players have long associated with SuperNick strings .
Zyex fibers woven into jacket constructions also enhance string playability according to Crandall . Zyex can also be made to have exceptionally low creep under continuous tension , allowing racquet strings to maintain tension and playability longer . Ashaway ' s trademarked Power Filament Technology ( PFT™ ) jackets on multifilament nylon core strings add power , improve tension holding , and increase string durability . A textured surface on the wear layer also increases grip and maximizes ball control and spin potential .
Developed in response to player demand for a thinner gauge PFT based string , professional play-testers report that the new SuperNick ZX Micro provides a more precise touch than its sister string , and being thinner , provides better control and spin potential as well .
Solid black in color , SuperNick ZX Micro is available in 9-meter ( 30 foot ) sets , as well as 110-meter ( 360 foot ) reels . Recommended stringing tension is up to 35 lbs . ( 16 kgs .).
