Signum Pro Firestorm-17g

Signum Pro Firestorm is made primarily from polyester, a firm and low-powered substance that delivers unmatched control, spin and durability to big hitters. However, as many recreational and club players have reported, polyester can sometimes feel too stiff and underpowered. Firestorm addresses these issues with special additives designed to increase comfort and power. According to our playtest team, those additives work, and they help explain why we experienced such impressive levels of playability, feel and pop. While this friendlier response should give Firestorm broader appeal, it is worth noting that Chris, our resident fan of traditional dead polys, discovered a downside in the form of less control. On the spin front, this co-poly gave our team good pocketing and effective spin, though neither of our playtesters liked it more than their "go to" spin strings. As for string tension, our two big hitters had to string this one tighter (especially Chris) in order to achieve the control they needed to execute full swings. All in all, Firestorm looks like a great option for the player who wants the benefits of a durable monofilament but could use a little extra comfort and power.
