MatchPower
WeissCANNON puts a great deal of time and effort into the research and development of their poly-based strings. Their lead researcher possesses an advanced engineering degree with an emphasis in "fibres technology." The research team continually works to identify the best types of polyester as well as the chemical additives and corresponding mixture percentages to create superior products. The result is a line of performance strings that clearly ranks among the top performing poly-based strings currently offered.

MatchPower offers an impressive blend of responsive feel and touch combined with control, power and durability. The comfort of this string will immediately strike the user. Because of the comfort and overall performace of this string it is an excellent choice for young players and those who have never been exposed to a poly-based string. One of the many desirable features of this string, in addition to the power, comfort and durability is tension maintenance. This string has put up impressive tension maintenance numbers for the WeissCANNON USA playtesters.
CONSTRUCTION: Premium quality poly-based string fearturing soft poly elements and a nano coating which makes the string smoother, softer while adding additional durability. ISO 9001 = Certified Quality Standard for absolute reliability in the manufacturing of this product.
ADVANTAGE: One of the most comfortable poly-based strings currently available. Tension maintenance will impress.
GAUGES: 17 ga, 1.25mm only
COLORS: Pearl orange and Frothy cream
LENGTHS: 40' sets & 660' reels
COMMENTS: Because of the color, many ask how this string compares to the Signum Pro Poly Plasma. The construction, chemical makeup and performance of the MatchPower is different. Both are soft and comfortable co-poly strings that share excellent tension maintenance, but that is where the similarities end. The MatchPower offers more power, better durability and added comfort. It is not intended to mimic the Poly Plasma. The Poly Plasma is an outstanding string and the MatchPower targets a different user. The MatchPower stands on its own merits and should be judged as a stand alone product. Several of our playtesters have commented that this is the first copoly they have hit that plays as comfortably as traditional synthetic strings.
TENSION: Using an ERT 700 we took the following tension measurements of the MatchPower 1.25mm in a Yonex RDti 80 which also collected on court playing time during the measurement period. For comparison purposes, please note that many current poly-based strings routinely lose 15 - 20% tension within 24 hours.

USER FEEDBACK:
"The coating on this string is completely unique. Unlike any co-poly I have previously used. On the plus side the coating definitely adds to the softness and feel of the string. On the downside, while smooth, the coating tends to create added friction when installing the crosses. While this does not in any way affect the performance of the string it does make installation a bit less pleasant than other co-poly strings." - James R.
"My new facorite string. Exceeded all of my expecctations" - Richard K.
"Sensational ball control." - Mary B.
"Feels stiff when installing, but plays soft and consistent. I could not be happier with this string." - Greg V.
