This is a great string. It looses tension quick so I would account for that in the stringing unless you are going hybrid or per-streching them

Prince Topspin Duraflex
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

About 15 years ago I tried many topspin strings and settled on Prince topspin. Then I discovered the Duraflex (PTD) version and it lasts twice as long -it's very forgiving and generates power when you have to. The string gives me good bite on the ball and gets it over the net but in the court. I've tried other hot-shot strings that the 'pros play with' that gave me more power but no control and also can't stand the metallic titanium feel - the guys who recommended those 'power' strings all have shoulder problems!. So back to PTD and all's well. Just ordered a dozen packs for the year.

Great Power & Great Touch
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I've been using this string for about two years and love it. I install it in a stiff frame at 45 LBS which gives a soft feel and great power. Furthermore, this setup gives great touch.

The racket has strong durability and maintain tension after a good a period of playing time. Like the control and spin created by the 17g string.

Awesome feel, if you want to "punch that volley" and want a "drop it like its hot" dropshot, that keep your oppnenent scampering...Look no more! Been using x 5 years and no tennis elbow ever! Mean sting...for mean pinpoint shots!

Durable, excellent feel, and great top spin
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

If you are like me, you break strings ever 4-5 sessions of tennis. You are a heavy hitter, with huge top spin. But you also prefer your strings to have good feedback. I have tried many strings in the past few months, and came across this one on some forums. Decided to give it a try. Believe me, it gives you massive spin, good feedback for a hybrid with kevlar on it. Best of all, Im still using this and its been 2 weeks, and the strings haven't even moved. I used to think RPM blast was good at holding tensions, but this is amazing.

Very crisp feel and unrivalled amount of spin. I always put these in the mains. They will saw through any main as a cross very quickly. I don't string it any higher than 55 pounds to avoid tennis elbow.

Good buy
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Prince Syn Gut 17G is a great buy. I hit flat with a head light racket and this string feels soft and provides great control when strung at 58 lbs. I wouldn't say that the playing properties last as long as other more expensive strings or that it provides maximum power but you can't beat the price and it will relieve some of the stress on your arm produced by stiffer strings.

I love this string. I usually string my racquets with poly mains and Gosen Proform on my cross strings, and o love the durability and the feel. It is a very good string to string and for the money you can't beat it. I string a lot of the guys I play tennis with during the week of all levels, and they love it. I have used this string for at least ten years, and I have nothing bad to say about it.

Good cross string
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Gosen makes a quality made in Japan single core synthetic gut comparable to prince synthetic gut and other well known synthetic guts. I use it as a cross string in a poly/synthetic gut hybrid. The white version is a bit stiffer than the natural colored one. So if you prefer a softer string, get the natural color. I get a bit more spin on my serve using the 17 vs the 16 gauge.

This is my first ever reel of strings. I'm a cheapy, so this was a great value. I strung a full bed on my friend's Prince TT, and he said it felt good. I've read that a hybrid would work better, so I'm looking forward to doing that on my Gamma Tour 320x. Great racquet btw.

This string is a bargain for the price. It won't generate the spin of a poly but it plays quite well and has good durability. It also makes a nice choice for hybrid set-ups.

Best Synthetic
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Prince Syn Gut with Duraflex is the best synthetic gut available. I have strung many racquets with different types of synthetic and this one definitely lasts the longest and is the perfect combination with a polyester string. I use it for all levels, from beginners who string their whole racquet with this, to highly competitive players who use a hybrid.

I have been loyally using the PSGD since long ago. I absolutely love the feel of the strings. One thing though, is that they don't last as long as I thought they would. However, for the cheap price, you can't beat it.

Good cross strings
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I bought this reel solely for the purpose of using it as a cross string in a hybrid with a poly. They work great and I wouldn't hesitate to use them with any polys. I also use them for my customers who don't prefer a specific synthetic gut in their racquet. They are cheap, and very efficient as well! Great buy.

Awesome Value
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

You can't fairly rate a string unless you consider how much you pay for it. This string is an awesome value. A 660' reel for $17 ???? Are you joking. I've been using this string as my "base" level string for my customers and everyone loves it, considering the price. Sure, there may be players that "think" their game deserves more, and maybe that's a valid point for some. But this string is every bit what most people need.

Excellent Value Plays Well
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

The string is an excellent value and plays very similar to the gamma synthetic gut, but at a lower price. The lower cost does allow me to play around with string tensions without worrying too much about price. I also string my own rackets, about 1 per month, I play about 3 - 4 times per week.

Good string for its price point
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I tried various types of strings since I started to play tennis. I had tried the super expensive and the relatively inexpensive strings. The Prince Syn Gut is by far the best strings. I mixed this string with the Tecnifibre strings to get the power and touch combo that many intermediate players like. For $5, y ou can't go wrong with this.

Great string
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I bought these strings because of a good word from a friend of mine. They are very easy on the arm. I use the Prince O3 White racket and have a medium swing speed. With these strings, I serve effortlessly and when volleying, I have total control. The only thing that would make these strings better is if they lasted longer. I've had them for 2 weeks and play constantly and they're almost done. But, overall, I would certainly recommend these to any player.
