![]() Average number of hours playtested was 24. These are blind tests, with playtesters receiving unmarked strings in unmarked packages. The string was tested for five weeks by 32 USRSA playtesters, with NTRP ratings from 3.5 to 5.5. ![]() X-Force added 15 grams to the weight of our unstrung frame. Our control string, Prince Synthetic Gut Original Gold 16, measured 78 RDC units immediately after stringing and 71 RDC units after 24 hours, representing a 9 percent tension loss. We recorded a stringbed stiffness of 73 RDC units immediately after stringing at 60 pounds in a Wilson Pro Staff 6.1 95 (16 × 18 pattern) on a constant-pull machine.Īfter 24 hours (no playing), stringbed stiffness measured 68 RDC units, representing a 7 percent tension loss. The diameter measured 1.16-1.18 mm prior to stringing, and 1.11-1.13 mm after stringing.

It is priced from $9.99 for sets of 40 feet, and $150 for reels of 220 meters. X-Force is available in 16L (1.29 mm), 17 (1.24 mm), and 18 (1.19 mm) in transparent orange only. Pacific is aiming X-Force at competitive players looking for a string with more liveliness and elasticity than typical polyester strings. Pacific tells us that X-Force has an extremely fast “rebound speed,” which may take some getting used to at first. X-Force combines the playing characteristics of more lively nylon synthetics with the spin and durability of polyester. The material and process are proprietary and patent pending.Īccording to Pacific, X-Force has the durability typical of polyesters and is extremely strong, which makes an 18-gauge possible. X-Force is manufactured using a unique heating process that creates elasticity and power in the string. ![]() According to Pacific, although the materials of this string are “in the polyester family,” X-Force is not necessarily a polyester string. Pacific X-Force is a “poly-like” monofilament string offering increased power and dampened feel. ![]() Home » TI magazine » Playtests » Playtest: Pacific X-Force 18 Playtest: Pacific X-Force 18 ![]()
