Description

Still In Black Protect string

STILL IN BLACK wanted to develop a string with the comfort and performance of a rigid string.

The result is maximum comfort when striking, and greater control and precision. Despite its high rigidity, Still In Black Protect delivers good ball speed.

Its hexagonal shape makes it easier to create spin.

Ideal for players looking for a firm string without the discomfort.

    First trials with this stringing across with gut. The goal is to have super comfort with control. Successful trial. Still in black brings comfort without turning the racket into a trampoline. (Translated review)

    Premiers essais avec ce cordage en travers avec boyau montant. Le but est d'avoir un super confort avec du contrôle. Essai réussi. Still in black apporte confort sans transformer la raquette en trampoline.

    Testé sur Artengo TR930 FlaxFiber tendu à 22/21. C'est une corde assez spéciale. Elle est souple donc confortable, mais aussi très réactive à la pression de la balle, caractéristique partagée avec les cordes plus rigides. Niveau effets, ça tourne plutôt bien, la forme y est pour quelque chose. Plutôt tolérante sur les décentrages. Pas très puissante malgré son côté souple, mais pas non plus à l'excès, plutôt précise. C'est une corde assez intéressante dans ses propriétés, que je pourrais réessayer à l'avenir. Il faut par contre bien, bien la prétendre pour en profiter: elle est vraiment souple à la pose, et perd pas mal de tension juste après la pose, et se stabilise par la suite. Ne pas hésiter à la tendre un peu plus fort que les autres monos, sans excès.

    Tested on Artengo TR930 FlaxFiber tensioned at 22/21. It's a rather special string. It's flexible so comfortable, but also very responsive to ball pressure, a characteristic shared with stiffer strings. In terms of spin, it spins quite well, the shape contributes to that. Quite forgiving on off-center hits. Not very powerful despite its soft side, but not excessively so, rather precise. It's a string that is quite interesting in its properties, which I could try again in the future. However, you really need to tension it well to enjoy it: it is really soft when strung, and loses quite a bit of tension just after being strung, and stabilizes afterwards. Don't hesitate to tension it a bit tighter than other monos, without excess. (Translated review)
