Overview
Tecnifibre adds a hot and fiery color to one of its most popular polys. Big hitters looking for surgical control on full swings should love this string. The great feel comes in part from Thermocore Technology, which is a manufacturing process that uses heating and cooling phases to soften the string. Black Code also has massive spin potential thanks in part to its 5 grippy edges. Intermediate and advanced players looking to attack the ball with powerful strokes (without having to worry about overhitting), should love this string. The fact that it puts less stress on your arm than the average poly is a very nice bonus!
Offers slightly more control and durability than the 17/1.24mm version.

Comments: On a bit of a Technifibre full poly safari at the moment, and noticed they seem to retain their optimum playability a bit longer than other top class co-poly strings such as Hyper G and Cyclone. The Black Code still plays and feels great after 20 hours use. Strung in the Babolat Pure Strike 100 at 55 lbs.

Comments: This string was fantastic for my racquet, the Head Youtek Speed Rev. I string it at 52 lbs.Great power and spin and no loss of tension after 1 month (I play 4 times a week).For a long time before playing with pentagonal strings, I used ALU Power Rough but this pentagonal string is much better for spin and control of the ball.

Comments: I have used this string for the past 4 months (with occasional stringing), and it has done quite well. The string starts off very stiff and does hurt a bit, but once you break into it, it turns into a spin monster. Aside from the spin, I was rather disappointed with the power and feel. The string felt very lively, but got to a point where it hurt. The power was one of the worse ones out of the polys, it was geared more for big hitters. A minor con about this string is the inconsistency. As I hit with it, i noticed that it had almost no forgiveness, and had very different results when hitting different spots. This string is comparable to babolat hurricane pro tour, and I would reccomend this string to any big hitters who can generate their own power and control.

Comments: Surprised that some people still find this to be stiff as I have personally tried this in a hybrid and a full set and it is one of the softest setups around, almost too soft. Threw on a dampener so it sounds better and fell in love. Tested in a hybrid with my Wilson Juice and then a full bed on Head Extreme. Liked the full set more, so I currently have my Juice getting restrung in with a full bed of it.

Comments: This type of string is one of the best out there and is my personal favorite.

Comments: I have hit with the Babolat RPM Blast and the Luxilon ALU Power, but the Black Code is better than both. I string my racquet at 58 lbs, so the string is stiff but provides great access to power and loads of spin. The RPM Blast would lose tension after about 5-7 hours of hitting, but with the Black Code I didn't start to feel a loss in tension until around 11 hours ofplay. Overall, the string is great for an all-court game and I would definitely recommend it.
