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 classic French soft multi opposite Wilson NXT—plush pocketing, easy depth, and crisp-not-mush feel, with the usual premium multi tax of fray and short playability windows.
The Blade that finally keeps up with modern club pace without ditching the feel that made the line famous.
