Comments: I am recovering from tennis elbow brought on by a new super-stiff Prince racquet. I then tested a lot of racquets and settled on the Head Gravity MP with a little added weight in the handle. The test racquet came with Head PPS, which was surprisingly fun, but I still tried out some of my other go-to synthetic guts and multifilaments. I saw the Velocity MLT reviews and tried it out. It was great! Loses a bit of tension at first, but this combination is way arm friendly. A tad stiffer in feel than other similar choices, but my top game is quickly returning. Control serves, good top spin, control on depth, etc. Don't quite get as much out of my otherwise wicked backhand slices, but enough to cause opponents to think. Elbow problems almost gone and quickly fading. Great combo for elbow issues, but also not a compromise. Thank you, Head. Thank you to the reviewers recommending this string. I'm on a good thing, and sticking to it.

Comments: I recently tried Velocity MLT 16 on my Babolat Pure Drive 107 racquet. It has one of the best tension retention and feel among multi strings I've hit with. After several hours of play, the string movement is almost none. In my experience, it is better than Wilson Sensation, NXT, Gamma TNT, Tecnifibre NRG2 -all of which I have tried in the same or similar racquet before. This is now my go to string. I am an NTRP 3.5 senior, singles player.

Comments: This is a great multifilament string (more control oriented) and arguably one of the best all-around strings (good control, good price, decent spin, very comfortable), but the TW review is close to accurate (I would rate it as an 85 or 86 overall). Breaks in after 20 minutes or so. It feels a little stiffer than other multifilament strings. It snaps back well initially, but does require some adjustment after it's been in a while. In my experience, it lasts long without breaking (less fraying than other multis), but does get a little 'mushy' with some loss of control, likely due to tension loss (usually a sign that it will break soon for me). I have used it as a full bed in various racquets, as well as a cross and main with polyester strings. Surprisingly, I found it worked best as a main with a smooth cross (wilson revolve) and lasted me around four weeks (~25-30 hours of play). I would recommend this to someone who wanted a very comfortable, but control-oriented string that either did not want to use a polyester string (due to sensitive elbows), or someone who wanted to hybrid it with a poly for a more comfortable string bed. I think it will last and provide good performance, especially for beginners and intermediate players. More advanced players will likely start breaking it and lose control too quickly in a full bed. I have also found it very easy to string, as well. I'm not sure if color makes a big difference personally, but I have hit with the black, natural, blue and pink colors. Black may be a little slicker, and blue seemed to be the least slick.

Comments: I strung my Yonex EZONE DR 98 in the blue and my Yonex EZONE DR 100 in the black. I'm generally happy with the balance of power and comfort. But I find the blue to be sticky and in need of constant adjusting, while the black is slick and snaps back like many describe. I'll get black or natural in the future.

Comments: The string is comfortable and budget-friendly. I liked using it in hybrids and as a full bed. The string plays like a polyester when freshly strung, but offers more comfort than polyester string. The thinner gauges offer more feel and spin, but lost tension faster than the 16 gauge. Great job Head for creating a great budget-friendly string.

Comments: Really enjoyed the plush, muted feel when used as a cross string, it helped soften up the polyester mains. That said, I think I'll switch back to Gosen OG-Sheep Micro for my crosses. This string gets really sticky and does not allow the mains to snap back in place. The Velocity crosses also lost tension way quicker than the mains, and strings were all over the place after just an hour or so of hitting. Additionally, it was a pain for me to string with my older crank machine with swivel clamps. The string is very soft, elastic, and slippery; very difficult to secure when tensioned as the string has a tendency to slide through the clamps. You can increase clamp strength to stop this, but it'll dent the string pretty good since it's soft.
