Black Fusion is a star-shaped co-polyester strings that is designed to have more bite on the ball. The objective is more spin.
It is so stiff and sharp that just from pulling the softer synthetic gut cross strings during installation, the synthetic gut already started fraying!!! The Synthetic Gut Titan is really a very soft and comfortable string!
After 2 hours of playing:
- very slight tension drop
- the poly strings really 'bites' the ball for really insane spin
- ball contact is very nice and soft and comfortable
After 4 hours:
- cannot feel any further tension loss
- the sharp edges of the poly string has worn off
- surprisingly, the synthetic gut did not fray much
After 6 hours:
- still no further tension loss
- spin is similar to unshaped poly main strings
- synthetic gut still holding up well
- this is definitely a setup I'll use again, maybe with a small tweak of tension
