This string hasn't got its own thread yet, but it's started to appear with retailers, so I thought I'd get the ball rolling. I've ordered a set myself and will be reviewing it when it gets here, but the opinions of anyone who's already tried it can go in now. (I'll be doing a frequency/time table - don't let me forget!)
I saw this a couple of weeks ago but wasn't sure about it as the discription didn't sound like something I would like, but at 0.68mm it is in my preferred gauge range. Looking at this with interest and may order a set myself. Subscribed!
Update: I'll string it up this weekend so I can get a clean run at the frequency measurements before I use it.
Well, I have a micrometer here... I'll get a slack diameter once I open it. Tbh, though, if it even goes in at 30/31 it'll one up on the most recent batch of VS850.
I broke it open for measurement, and it's not 0.68, I can tell you. More like 0.72 in the middle of the pack. Also, it might as well be VS850 for all the difference I can see and feel out of the packet. Still, books and covers, and all that...
Wouldn't it just... But at this point, one that goes in at 30/31 would be progress. *fp. Haven't got any 850 any more! Not sullying my stringing den with it unless it's for a customer. I wonder if any of the pros who were on VS850 last year will have jumped ship... something to look out for.
I have a single pack left, I'm afraid to use it. I'm sure [MENTION=96435]DuckFeet[/MENTION] said he wants it though.
Strung just now, already some differences from VS850. Initial ping is 1364 Hz - wow. It's crystal-coblet clean, too.
