Gamma Live Wire XP 16G Tennis String

I use these as the crosses in my hybrid approach with a poly in the mains. The Gamma string provides very good feel, and is the closest to a natural gut feel I’ve ever found. Highly recommended.

I have been using this string for many years, and it never fails to disappoint. As a 4.5 player and former member of the USRSA, and an expert stringer who has tried many different strings, including natural gut, as well as hybrid combinations, I keep coming back to Gamma LiveWire XP. To me, it feels almost as responsive as gut, but is more durable and less affected by moisture and dirt. And the price is right. Once you've found a string tension that works, you can't go wrong with this string.

I got a set of Gamma Syn. Gut 16g with the X-ST stringer I bought from Midwest Sports. Truth be told, it sat in a drawer for months until I decided to string it in a 14 yr. old Pure Control Team I keep at my in-laws. It sat over there for a year after I strung it before I took it out during a visit. I have to say I was more than pleasantly surprised at its feel and playability; so much so that I brought the racquet back home with me to use more b/c I liked the feel so much. ~50 hrs. of court time later and it's still going strong . For the price, this is a great all around synthetic. Highly recommended if you're looking for a no-nonsense string. This is a great playing string and a tremendous value at this price.

Was having trouble keeping strings in racquet. A friend put me on to these about five years ago. He too, played with a wide body racquet, and the durability of these are great. I have since changed racquets (about one year ago), no longer a wide body, and use these in the new one. Love the feel these strings give for drops, spins, overheads, just all shots. The durability is the best for me.

Excellent feel and control, along with comfort and good spin effect for Spin configured racquets. Used in Hybrid configuration with poly on the mains.
