Verdict
The gold-standard natural gut—TW-perfect power and comfort scores, legendary feel and tension hold—$65/set or $35 half-set for the hybrid mains Court List was missing next to ALU / RPM / Hyper-G.
The French multi-poly fusion that sits between soft multis and firm co-polys—crisper aim and better snapback than NXT/X-One, still arm-friendlier than ALU, with the usual multi fray tax at a premium set price.
The Blade that finally keeps up with modern club pace without ditching the feel that made the line famous.
