This string feels solid, in both a texture and a function way. After 30 minutes of hard play, it barely frayed. Even though it starts looking a bit used after the hour, it still plays exactly like it did after you break it in. Binds were close to perfection. Whips were BEAUTIFUL, but slack tricks were a bit harder than normal. They both evened out eventually, and stayed consistent after. The only con is the texture, it is surprisingly rough. Also, C’s are perfectly average string, so don’t let the B’s drive you away. Don’t let that scare you though, if you need good string on a budget this is a perfect middle ground!
