Image is everything, right? Agassi first started using Kevlar/Aramid strings in the 80s. What is Kelvar/Aramid? It’s what bulletproof vests are made of. Kevlar is actually has more tensile strength (resists stretching) than polyester but this combo is tried and true since Agassi first started using it on tour. Remember that mullet?? And those denim shorts?? OMG.
For those who break polyester strings regularly this is your hybrid but without all the harshness and longevity shortcomings of polyester. Plus it’s actually very good at absorbing vibrations since kevlar/aramid strings are made of hundreds of fibers twisted together. Out of all of my hybrids, this is one of the stiffest. Some players say this has just as much spin as a full bed of poly. And to drive the nail on that polyester coffin, this hybrid remains playable until it breaks since there is zero polyester in it.
- string at 50lbs max
- best suited for softer racquets with a max stiffness of 62RA
- Not suitable for those who have sensitive joints and have had tendinitis
