Pro's Pro Interceptor String Test

Pro's Pro Interceptor is a very soft polyester for those that want something durable but on the arm friendly side. Those who crave control, feel, and durability will feel right at home with these strings on their racquet. 

Strings up really easy, no kinking and as it is round not shaped or rough it slides good.
Colour is bright yellow (new for me!)
What am I expecting out of this string, Control, Comfort, Arm comfort, not a lot of power but a lot of spin.

Strung my Powerangle with this string @ 50Ibs (max tension for racket is 53Ibs) Right this was supposed to be a control, feel spin string, Well the power was a surprise, yes the spin was there (not as much as a Shaped poly) the control yes the feel yes, but again the power was the surprise my "kick" serves where going higher than normal.
It was a dry day on astro so could have been the hard astro that gave the extra height, but the ground strokes were going through quick. That was the first 2 sets of singles, will play again with this racket/string combo but tomorrow is doubles!
Doubles play: Played 4 hours of doubles today, The Interceptor string is really good but compared to Devil Spin (my go to string) it does not "bite" the ball as good, but I played some really good rallies with this string and I cannot say I wont use this string again,Good points for some reason I am getting power and spin but not the feel (could be the tension is a bit on the low side for this string (50Ibs)) I have also noticed that the string has started to "notch" so now there is less string movement. played 6 hours and the string has notching?
I feel that this string would be good as a Hybrid either as the mains or cross. (The Powerangle racket being diagonal strung has no mains or crosses) So I might string up another racket and retry as a hybrid.

Cheers!

    Hi I'm Dave Giles, This is my Blog page, please feel free to leave a comment, I will of course review any comment before it is published.
    I have been involved with racket sports for over 40 yrs. I am a string tester for  various companies. I play mostly tennis nowadays but have been tempted back to squash coaching.
