Power and control
This string is a little softer than the Polyplasma. As a result, you'll get more power. As a result, this string offers an excellent compromise between control and power
Spin
Hyperion is a round string that limits ball rotation. Nonetheless, its elasticity counterbalances this observation and allows limited access to effects.
Comfort and forgiveness
Compared with Polyplasma, Hyperion is softer and therefore more comfortable for the forearm. To enhance this comfort, don't hesitate to go for the 1.18 gauge if you're not a regular breaker. Tolerance is also better on finer gauges.
Service life and tension hold
tension hold is pretty good. In fact, its molecular design ensures that tension is maintained over time. In addition, service life is standard for a monofilament of this type.
Sensation / feel / stiffness
Note that this string is semi-rigid. As a result, the feel on strike is fairly firm, but the feel for heavy hitters is not outdone. For optimized feel, opt for the gauge 1.18.
Tip Extreme Tennis:
Don't hesitate to lower the tension by 1 kilo compared with a co-polyester string, because of its stiffness. You can lay this set on any type of set surface. On closed 18x20 strings, for example, feel free to reduce the tension by 2 kilos if you're not a heavy hitter.
