Type: Polyester Mono-filament

Setup:
Main - Wilson Enduro Tour 17G 55lbs
Cross - Prince Synthetic Gut with Duraflex 16G 57 lbs

Stringing:
Enduro Tour has a very tacky feeling when running the string through your hands. Other polyesters that I have strung were very smooth and silky. Also Enduro Tour stretched quite a bit when pulling tension. Other polyesters that were strung before did not stretch as much.

During this setup I strung the crosses 2 lbs higher than the mains. Why? Because synthetic guts are softer and I decided to up the tension to stiffen the string bed.

For only $5 a set, this string performs very well. Power is average. If you are used to strings such as Luxilon Alu Power or Pro Supex Big Ace, you will be feeling that Enduro is very under powered. But you have to keep in mind that those strings are powerful strings. The spin generation on Enduro is very good. I was able to get very good ball bite and produce some wicked spin. On ground strokes, the spin came in handy for short wide angle shots. Very useful for kick and slice serves. Serves were kicking high and away.

This string is fairly durable initially. After 4 hours of play very little notching is present. But then about 10 hours of play its very close to breaking. Feel is average in the beginning but then dies in about 30mins to an hour. That's pretty quick in my opinion. Start to lose a lot of control and spin. The other complaint I have is string movement. After 30mins of hitting the strings started to move. That's pretty short in my opinion. But I guess for $5 a set what do you expect.
