Great review as always. I love the format of your reviews and your presentation style is first class. Seems to me that if this string is good for serves, volleys and aggressive baseline play then for the majority of players that is more important than the trade off of not being so good for drop shots. Being so cheap means the drop off in tension is not such a negative because you justify replacing the string more often. I'd like a comparison with the tourbite 19 gauge which I've tried and enjoyed.
Haven't tried it with the Volkl Cyclone but I have done something similar with Hyper-G Soft 1.15 and put it in my Percept 100D. As noted the thinner strings are great for punching volleys with and the 100D's balance helps with defensive shots against bigger hitters at the baseline. I generally don't break strings so I would like to cycle through Solinco's more controlled strings at a thinner gauge - Tour Bite and Confidential to see how they react
I bet this would help me a lot on imparting more kick to my serves in my Dunlop CX Tour 16x19 since it’s 95 square inches put the strings closer together than a 98 or 100
RPM Blast playability duration is horrible. It drops tension fast and also the slick coating wears off fast. When fresh strung, RPM Blast is one of the best few strings outta there, but its playability duration is just horrible.
