Great feel, poor durability
I like the feel of this strings but they last a very short time. I guess it’s because of the natural gut strings. Buy a couple when ordering so you can have a spare.

Slightly heavier than non-hybrid
Edited on March 4, 2022 -- See my first impressions below.____________________________________________________________Disclaimer: Ninety-nine percent of my impressions come from hitting against an inanimate thing, namely, a wall!I have now hit with these strings for about a month, give or take. Maybe hitting against a wall is a good (better?) way to judge. I don't know. I can tell you that I would get these strings again. I am still waiting for that one opportunity to hit against a human -- honestly, that's been tough in these COVID days. But I feel the slight – but perceptible – weight increase is worth it. The feel is amazing. I reiterate: do not over-tension these things. You don't need to. For a 100 sqft racket head, I'd recommend 53ish for the mains and 50ish for the cross.I like the sound, the feel, and the power. And I have no complaints regarding any tennis elbow issues, even with more tightly strung rackets (see below).I did enroll in an hour of instructional tennis, something I do from time to time, to work on -- among other things -- my backhand return. I don't know if it were the strings or my footwork, but my returns were far more authoritative than ever.Take that with a grain of salt, but I am becoming more and more convinced that the performance justifies the price.Footnote: I use Prince rackets, and I may someday switch to Babolat.________________________________________________________________________It is still way too early for me to write a definitive review. So, this is more a first impression. To start with, I have Prince rackets with a recommended tension of 58 +/-5 lbs. The racket head is 100 sq. inches. I had two of them strung at 58 for the main and 55 for the cross. This seems a bit stiff. Control isn't bad, but my elbow started to feel it a bit. So, I am having my third racket strung a bit lower. I haven't played with the looser strings yet, but I feel it's worth losing a bit of control for more power and lack of pain.I started comparing the new strings against my old reliable Gamma. I am not entirely sure the cost completely justifies the difference between the two. I will also add that, in over 40 years of playing tennis, the Babolat is my first set of hybrids.I do believe they bite better, and top-spin, which is difficult for me to generate because of my grip, is come by more easily. Time will tell if my view of "Value for money" will improve.Stay tuned.

Bought for Active Tennis Player
They loves these strings, I have been buying them for the last year now. And the person I been buying them for are in love with the strings. They are better in fresher tennis racket or if you take good care of your racket. I think she usually get about 3-4 months of wear out of one packet, sometimes 2-3 depending on how often it's played.

スピンがかかる
スピンが良くかかりますが、グリグリのスピンではなく良く伸びます。スライスも滑る様に打てます。今迄で最高です。
