Ashaway *HYBRID* Crossfire 18G Tennis String

I use this as my # 1 string for hybrids for people I string for. Everyone seems to like it; and ask for it again.

Produces spin well, but loses tension too quickly

This is a great string. It looses tension quick so I would account for that in the stringing unless you are going hybrid or per-streching them

About 15 years ago I tried many topspin strings and settled on Prince topspin. Then I discovered the Duraflex (PTD) version and it lasts twice as long -it's very forgiving and generates power when you have to. The string gives me good bite on the ball and gets it over the net but in the court. I've tried other hot-shot strings that the 'pros play with' that gave me more power but no control and also can't stand the metallic titanium feel - the guys who recommended those 'power' strings all have shoulder problems!. So back to PTD and all's well. Just ordered a dozen packs for the year.

I've been using this string for about two years and love it. I install it in a stiff frame at 45 LBS which gives a soft feel and great power. Furthermore, this setup gives great touch.
