Overview
This orange version of Super Smash is a tad softer than the original honey version but it is still a classic control string with a firm response. The upshot is a string that will enable you swing very powerfully without fear of over-hitting. Durability is outstanding, making this great for big hitters and string breakers. The ultra predictable response on full swings will give you confidence when going for extra pace and spin. Ideal for intermediate and advanced players with long, fast strokes. Pre-stretched for longer lasting playability.

Kirschbaum Super Smash OrangeBest string for Clash and Shift racquet. Middle of road stiffness plays lively at low (48) and high tensions (55). Great feel very inexpensive - better than Head Lynx tour which is also responsive
Kirschbaum Super Smash Orange 17/1.23 StringI loved the 16 gauge in my racquet. I expect the 17 gauge will be even better. Easy on the arm and you can’t beat the price. Tennis Warehouse makes it so easy and fast. Thanks to the employees of Tennis Warehouse. You are doing a great job.

Call me old fashioned...These strings are still relevant, and still awesome! After many years of first trying them, I decided to give them a spin with a Tecnifibre TF40. I was looking to liven up the string bed a little to combat the foam filling, and the result is great. It's still plush, with a touch of crispness. The ball has great direction and the spin is quite good too. They remind me of a crisper Poly Tour Pro. So far it's been easy on the arm, and I've also tried a hybrid with Tecnifibre Bi-phase in the mains and that works great as well.

Spin, control, and good durabilityOverall a comfy and responsive string.
Optimized on many pointsGreat string, actually my new go-to string for the foreseeable future. After trying so many different ones, I settled for this one because it gives me the right balance between:
control, spin and durability (not too long, not too short) and it holds its tension fairly well till it breaks.
It also is a pretty comfortable poly. Now using 54 lbs on the 1.23mm gauge.
An under appreciated stringI play with a Head Gravity Pro with a tension of 48 pounds. At first, I was unsure whether this was suitable for me however after a few sessions, these strings were fantastic, I suspect that I needed to reduce the tension a few more pounds. I have played with Head Hawk Touch, Tecnifibre Red/Black code, even with the Kirschbaum Pro line II (comfortable but way too lively), etc . . . this is one of my favorite strings, incredible performance, I have somehow managed to increase the spin potential on my serves. The groundstrokes with this string (assuming low tension) provides lovely pocketing/dwell time. I am surprised at the price of this string considering there are other manufacturers that are considerably more expensive yet not able to command the same level performance.
Comfortable & PowerfulI use 1.23 mm in a Babolat Pure Drive strung @ 35 lbs at recommendation of a teacher. I was concerned it might be too stiff. It is not. I find it surprisingly soft as well as powerful. Control is excellent, too. Very well pleased.
Very Good stringWhat a good string! For that price I think there is nothing better in this range of money. My game was greatly aided by this string.

Comments: I am using this string on the mains of my Wilson Burn 100 LS at 43 pounds. I have Max Power 18 on the crosses at 45. This string feels good on the mains. I have not tried a full bed with it. I restring often so I doubt I will have any issues with it going dead or popping. Give it a try, it's really nicely priced right now.

Comments: Reminds me of Luxilon Element, but a little stiffer (not much). I can produce spin easily and control my shots. Great strings -- they hold tension well and are well priced. I want to try them out in a few of my other racquets, but I have the 17 gauge, and am loving it (and it makes my Microgel Radical MP look like extremely orange). So far, all of the Kirschbaum strings have impressed me!
