Overview
Introducing Xplosive Speed - a comfortable co-poly with massive spin potential and surgical targeting on full swings. With its grippy five sided profile, Xplosive Speed puts a tight grip on the ball, making it easier for the strings to grab and load the ball with spin. Designed with softening agents, this string has above average comfort for a poly-based monofilament. Kirschbaum pre-stretches Xplosive Speed using their ThermoFusion Technology. The result, according to our playtest team, is a longer lasting playability. Intermediate players looking for a lively and comfortable co-poly with huge spin-potential should love this one.

Comments: I started with Spiky Shark, but I had to hybrid it because it was too stiff. I then moved to the softer Black Shark for many years. I liked the color better and, unlike Spiky Shark, it was soft enough to use in both the mains and crosses. Now I've switched to the even softer Xplosive Speed. All three strings dig into the ball for great spin. The packages say the string has an octagonal shape like RPM Blast says, but they are not even comparable. The Kirshbaum version gives way more spin.
