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.
Yonex’s club-player control stick—surgical 97 aim, buttery FlexCon pocketing, and enough spin to keep full cuts honest.
The softer round co-poly club players reach for when ALU Power feels too firm—low-powered control, above-average poly comfort, and honest spin without a shaped profile.
