What players say about the value

From the 390+ verified customer reviews across our four polyester strings:

★★★★★

“I've been using the Snakebite for the past 3 years; I've replaced the pricey Babolat RPM Blast with the Snakebite. It's my go-to string for its price, durability, and playability.”

— Cindy Wang · Snake-Bite reviews (218)

★★★★★

“Previously I liked Big Banger's performance/durability but not the price. With Golden Set's string I get the performance/durability at a fraction of the cost.”

— Leif Nordlund, USPTA P-1 Tennis Professional · Hex Poly reviews (121)

★★★★★

“I have been using the Golden Set Power Cord for a few weeks now, and I am very impressed with the feel of the string and its spin generation, quite an improvement on other poly strings I have used.”

— George Horna, Head Pro, Riverside Tennis Club · Power Cord reviews (38)

★★★★★

“Snake bite smooth is a durable spin friendly poly. Bang for the buck along with golden set service is unbeatable.”
