Play: I haven't been able to post an entry for about a month. I haven't had time to play test strings because of consistent tournaments and league matches. Here is my take on Pro Supex Big Ace.
Pro Supex Big Ace has been around for a few years now. It was the talk on Tennis Warehouse's strings discussion board. This string still was one of my favorite strings to play with until recently. My reasoning can be found below.
Big Ace has excellent playability for its price. It is considered as a powerful and soft polyester. Even with the big power you can get with Big Ace, the string also has ample control, spin, and feel. The string can be easily played for 4-6 hours before tension starts to loosen. My favorite aspect of the string was the power and spin that you were able to generate. I think it was as good as Luxilon Alu Power. The biggest drawback on this string was the playability drops off like a rock after the first 4-6 hours. The string becomes very very mushy and soft. This characteristic of the string was the only reason I switched to another string. But don't get me wrong. This string is an excellent string to play with when freshly strung. I still know many players who still love playing with Big Ace. I recommend that players cut out the string one the string bed becomes mushy.
