Velvet Reels (360ft/110m)

Nice alternative to high priced multifilament

Great feedback, especially from mature players.

The multifilament velvet string I would put up against Wilson NXT for a fraction of the cost. It is my go to multifilament string.

PHENOMENAL STRING BACKED BY GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE

Found out about Golden Set strings through a local Stringer and thought I would give it a try. Strung on my Prince 98 ESP (Extreme String Pattern) racquets I can generate phenomenal topspin. To top it off they are a great value price wise.

Finally, I appreciate that Golden Set trust their Customers. I had to return some string a friend bought for my Birthday but was the wrong gauge. They shipped out the new string even before I could send back the old string. This kind of trust is rare and much appreciated.

Cannot recommend Golden Set products enough. Great Company with a Great Product backed by Great Customer Service.

I really enjoyed playing with these Multifilimants.

I am a competitive ITF player and have been struggling with arm pain for a while. I recently switched to Multifilimant strings but soon saw myself breaking the bank. I was fortunate enough to come across these strings. They play just like the NXT yet cost the fraction of the cost.

5 stars

I am happy with Golden string and find it comparable to many better strings. The velvet string is simular to technifibre NRG or Gamma tnt which are 2 of my favorite strings. I have many friends who like the durability and spin of snakebite 17g.

I've been using goldenset velvet for the last 2 years. It is very afforable and plays like nxt in my opinion but with more control. I also get the 15L G version for max durability. It is great for a hybrid combination too.

-Steve R

I have been playing tennis for more than 55 years and have been stringing racquets for over 50 years. I have used every string imaginable including natural gut, synthetic gut, multifilament, monofilament and polyester as well as other combinations over the years. The Golden Set string is as good or better than any string I have ever used. I prefer the Velvet and Maximal for myself, but I also string for several other people using Golden Set Synthetic Gut, Snake Bite, and Power Cord. My customers are extremely satisfied with these strings.

Sincerely,

J. Lucas

I've been 100% pleased with my recent order and all orders in the past. My latest purchase has been a reel of velvet(17G) and several packs of snakebite(17G). With snakebite(53lbs) on the mains and velvet(57lbs) on the crosses, the playability still gives me a lot of bite and now with added comfort. From a 1-10 rating, 10 being best:

Playability: 9

Durability: 8 (8 hours of total match play, velvet started to fray quite a bit)

Control: 9

Tension maintenance: 8

I play with a Yonex Vcore Duel G97, rated 4.5, and diving into open division tournaments.

I am a tennis coach and a professional stringer in Ontario and I recently purchased Velvet Strings from Golden Set. This is one of the best multifilament strings I have ever used to string racquets for my customers and students. There is a lot of feel, control, and durability to it the benefits of which, I and my customers quickly notice.

I am especially impressed with Gaby’s customer service. Whenever I email a question or an order, I get a response very quickly. This company goes over and above, to supply their customers with quality products.

I have been using Golden Set products for about four years and wish I had discovered them

many years ago.The products are excellent and reasonably priced.

I am 87 and live in Longboat Key, Florida where I play tennis at least 5 and usually six days a week.I still play singles when I can find someone who will.

My USTA 3.5 team on which I played number 2 position won the Florida State championship

in year 2000 and went to Palm Springs where we finished seventh nationally.

I have tried different Golden Set strings but finally tried an experiment which has worked very well

for me and also for my wife who was a highly ranked player in the womens 35s in the 1970s.

We both have used the same racquet for 12 years, a Wilson NCode, N1 Force which is an oversized 125.

I have syngut 17g , black in the mains which could also be syngut 17g natural and velvet 17g

natural color in the crosses, both strung at 62 pounds.

It may sound weird but it works for me and my wife and that is all that count

I also find the overgrips to be excellent

You have got to try this multifilament string! Velvet definitely lives up to the name. It softens up my very stiff Babolat APD which makes it the most comfortable string bed I’ve ever had on this frame. It feels better than all the other major brand names out there and I’ve tried them all. I was at wits end until I tried Velvet initially for the price point, it being lower than the other brands but don’t let the lower price fool you, I’ll put it up against all of the pricier multis out there any day in quality.

Even though it’s buttery soft you can still rip from the baseline with some nice pop and the touch is insane, especially at net. I string my sticks up on the lower end for that nice feel and pocketing. Thanks Golden Set for another fantastic string! Georgy - Santa Monica

I was looking for a less expensive alternative to Wilson NXT, so I tried Golden Set Velvet. For the first 10 minutes, I didn't like it as well, but then I quickly got used to it and now it's my favorite string. It has a great, soft feel and good ball pocketing. When I hit a slice backhand, the ball has a very low bounce and makes a great defensive shot. Highly recommended to any player that likes multifilaments.

Martin - Texas U.S.

Been stringing my rackets with Snake-Bite I'm guessing 4 years now as a hybrid. Using several different types of softer synthetic gut in the mains,fell in love with Head FXP power 16g but hated how long the strings lasted.About 4 to 6 hrs as an average.When ordering more Snake-Bite the Rep said try the Velvet and did and I was Impressed . Strung One racket w/ FXP & one w/ Velvet to tell the difference ,The Velvet is a little firmer at first but after 1 hrs It had a nice feel. In 6 sets The FXP broke and after 8 sets the Velvet is showing some wear but still doing very well. I don't think that Golden gives it Enough Credit on its durability . Couldn't be Happier .Danny

This string has better feel and touch compare to other more expensive multis on the market. I would recommend Velvet to anyone who likes multifilament strings but for less price.

One of the better multifilament strings out there on the market. I use this string on the mains and Snake Bite on the crosses. It gave me the best ball pocketing and enough power with this hybrid. If you want a low-price/good mutilfilament string, try Velvet.

I've been using Velvet for over a year, and it has become my go-to multi. I've used Live Wire, NXT, Addiction, NRG2, and other quality multis, and Velvet by far exceeds these as a whole in all areas of value, feel, durability, and tension maintenance. Oddly, it doesn't noticeably complement all strings either as a main or a cross in a hybrid setup, but does enhance feel with good spin when in a hybrid as a Main with RPM Blast crosses (string RPM 3 lbs. lower). Overall, it is best on its own in a full-bed setup. If you're a stringer, stringing with this string is very easy. It doesn't kink or bruise as easily as Gamma Pro or Live Wire. For the money, it's the best value for a multi out there.

I have been stringing my racquet with snake bite in the mains and using Velvet in the crosses. I feel that this combination gives me good spin, as I hit with a lot of top spin but I like the feel of the velvet in the crosses for touch. Velvet is rated poorly for durability and this is a true, especially with the snake bite, but since I string my own racquets, I don't care.

I been using the Velvet string for racquetball racquets and its plays very well. I always use it on my own racquets first to test the string and am now using it on customer racquets with no complaints. Very good string at a great price.

March 20, 2012 I have been using Snakebite for a few years now, and my customer base loves this string. I string nearly every racquet from two clubs here in SW Florida and 95% of all string jobs include either Snakebite or a Snakebite/Velvet Hybrid. The Velvet string is nearly identical to NXT. Additionally, I use the Golden Set Secure grips and the Elan grips as replacement grips. My members love the fact that the price is the lowest for such good quality. Most of my members had not replaced their grips in 20 years. In fact, the first month I used over 30 grips. I found that the Secure Grip was a little thicker than the Elan Grip, and for those women whose grip was too large, I replaced their grip using an Elan Grip to reduce the grip size. The product quality and price has made me a permanent customer of Golden Set Tennis. Thank you again. John John A. Ramsey II Kelly Greens Director of Tennis USPTA Professional

Velvet string was wonderful. The durability was a 4 rateing instead of a 2 1/2 The feel and the explosion off my racquet were better than I expected.

I have been useing this string on my own Head Submission racquetball racquet. I have finally found the best overall string for Open racquetball players. Thanks Again.

This string is absolutely incredible. I have been hybriding it with my snake bite 17g and the bite and feel with the combination is just incredible. A must buy string for multifilament fans!

I really like both the multifilament strings. Maximal and Velvet. They are for more advanced players. Prices are very reasonable.

Bluestring

Impressive quality at a low price. After buying my stringer, I tried many strings from different brands and no other brand came close to the quality and price offered by Golden Set. I appreciate the feel and control I get with Velvet 17 in my racquet. I am a 4.0 player that loves move up to the net, and this string is perfect for my style. I got some samples from a friend and decided to buy a reel right after trying Velvet for the first time. If you are looking for good quality, feel, control and power, Golden Set has the answer for your racquet.

Very soft string and durable for sure! String tension is normal with noticeable string movement after about 10 hours of play. Feel was good, and spin generation average. Power was definitely there even at higher tensions. Used in full bed, probably would fair well in a hybrid too. Would definitely use again. Good string for a good price!

I want to commend you on a great product. I was offered a sample pack which to my surprise was a wonderful value.

In using the sample pack I discovered the 18 gauge Snakebite and 18 gauge Velvet. This is a great combination for my racket and style of play.

I am preparing for another season of USTA team tennis (3.5 Senior & Regular)and was looking for a string combination that would be easy on my arm and still give me power that I need to be a consistent winner.

Make my vote the Snakebite and Velvet combination. A great value and worth twice the price.

Thank You for a great product and wonderful value. I am looking to buy a reel of both and only decision is about the color.

I've been using Golden Set strings for over a year now and find them comparable to any high quality string on the market. My favorite string is the Maximal 17 gauge. The touch and control is outstanding with power when needed (depending on how I string it). The only downside is that the string usually only lasts me about 3 weeks before I break it. Sometimes I use the velvet 17 gauge when I need more durability. It has a very similar feel with just a bit more power. Fortunately due to the very reasonable costs of the Golden Set Strings and for the fact I string my own

racquets, I can afford to restring frequently and always be on the top of my game. Keep up the good work Golden String!

I've used Live Wire, NXT, Addiction, NRG2, and other quality multis, and Velvet by far exceeds these as a whole in all areas of value, feel, durability, and tension maintenance. Oddly, it doesn't noticeably complement all strings either as a main or a cross in a hybrid setup, but does enhance feel with good spin when in a hybrid as a Main with RPM Blast crosses (string RPM 3 lbs. lower). Overall, it is best on its own in a full-bed setup. If you're a stringer, stringing with this string is very easy. It doesn't kink or bruise as easily as Gamma Pro or Live Wire. For the money, it's the best value for a multi out there.

I have been stringing my racquet with snake bite in the mains and using Velvet in the crosses. I feel that this combination gives me good spin, as I hit with a lot of top spin but I like the feel of the velvet in the crosses for touch. Velvet is rated poorly for durability and this is a true, especially with the snake bite, but since I string my own racquets, I don't care.

I been using the Velvet string for racquetball racquets and its plays very well. I always use it on my own racquets first to test the string and am now using it on customer racquets with no complaints. Very good string at a great price.

March 20, 2012 I have been using Snakebite for a few years now, and my customer base loves this string. I string nearly every racquet from two clubs here in SW Florida and 95% of all string jobs include either Snakebite or a Snakebite/Velvet Hybrid. The Velvet string is nearly identical to NXT. Additionally, I use the Golden Set Secure grips and the Elan grips as replacement grips. My members love the fact that the price is the lowest for such good quality. Most of my members had not replaced their grips in 20 years. In fact, the first month I used over 30 grips. I found that the Secure Grip was a little thicker than the Elan Grip, and for those women whose grip was too large, I replaced their grip using an Elan Grip to reduce the grip size. The product quality and price has made me a permanent customer of Golden Set Tennis. Thank you again. John John A. Ramsey II Kelly Greens Director of Tennis USPTA Professional

Velvet string was wonderful. The durability was a 4 rateing instead of a 2 1/2 The feel and the explosion off my racquet were better than I expected.

I have been useing this string on my own Head Submission racquetball racquet. I have finally found the best overall string for Open racquetball players. Thanks Again.

This string is absolutely incredible. I have been hybriding it with my snake bite 17g and the bite and feel with the combination is just incredible. A must buy string for multifilament fans!

I really like both the multifilament strings. Maximal and Velvet. They are for more advanced players. Prices are very reasonable.

Impressive quality at a low price. After buying my stringer, I tried many strings from different brands and no other brand came close to the quality and price offered by Golden Set. I appreciate the feel and control I get with Velvet 17 in my racquet. I am a 4.0 player that loves move up to the net, and this string is perfect for my style. I got some samples from a friend and decided to buy a reel right after trying Velvet for the first time. If you are looking for good quality, feel, control and power, Golden Set has the answer for your racquet.

Very soft string and durable for sure! String tension is normal with noticeable string movement after about 10 hours of play. Feel was good, and spin generation average. Power was definitely there even at higher tensions. Used in full bed, probably would fair well in a hybrid too. Would definitely use again. Good string for a good price!

I want to commend you on a great product. I was offered a sample pack which to my surprise was a wonderful value.

In using the sample pack I discovered the 18 gauge Snakebite and 18 gauge Velvet. This is a great combination for my racket and style of play.

I am preparing for another season of USTA team tennis (3.5 Senior & Regular)and was looking for a string combination that would be easy on my arm and still give me power that I need to be a consistent winner.

Make my vote the Snakebite and Velvet combination. A great value and worth twice the price.

Thank You for a great product and wonderful value. I am looking to buy a reel of both and only decision is about the color.

I've been using Golden Set strings for over a year now and find them comparable to any high quality string on the market. My favorite string is the Maximal 17 gauge. The touch and control is outstanding with power when needed (depending on how I string it). The only downside is that the string usually only lasts me about 3 weeks before I break it. Sometimes I use the velvet 17 gauge when I need more durability. It has a very similar feel with just a bit more power. Fortunately due to the very reasonable costs of the Golden Set Strings and for the fact I string my own

racquets, I can afford to restring frequently and always be on the top of my game. Keep up the good work Golden String!
