    Yes, it's SOTX Titanium 1040Ti string, 0.65mm. After you break through the initial coating, it's very powerful.

    It's a good, powerful string. I believe you will like it. It just doesn't last very long for me (a few days). :p

    every string lasts "a few days" for you:p

    problem is, if i cut it, and put on a bg80 i can get a better comparison between this at my other rackets..but if I cut it I'll never know how 0.65 hits...I'll jst leave it on...

    now it's just waiting for the dealer to respond...

    There is no factory string. All SOTX rackets should be un-strung. However, agents can request them to string the rackets with desired string and tension.

    Well, for www.ibuysports.com it's "factory" string, an added bonus for buying rackets through them. :)

    I was more referring to it's "aerodynamical" properties. how "slow" is it compared to other head-heavy's? like an at500(3u)?

    argh never mind, I've already boguht it anyways..I'm just too curious...As for my physical conidtion...I'm not Dinkalot...but the wrist and technique is sufficient, one might say.

    Confucius say: if you buy racket, stop asking questions, for all answers will be revealed once you use racket. :p

    I would to update everyone about the Woven 7. As stated before, the woven graphite is very strong and high quality. However, the QC needs major improvement. I have one Woven 7 that has an undrilled grommet hole!!! Yes, you read it right. The driller, QC person and inspectors totally missed that spot.

    well its obvious You work for them than, lol

    I bought 2 woven-2's from www.ibuysports.com and a 3rd I ordered for a friend, also bought shoes and a raquet bag from them.

    The problem with the Higher tensions isn't that it lacks power and control as so many people try to tell me (who dont know waht they are talking about) - thy problem is that the raquets are strung at 25 lbs - play best at high tensions and now I have a hard time finding anyone with an electronic machine that can string the raquets higher than 22 or 24. I have a guy who strings them as tight as he can on his old manual machine and he says they take the tension very well

    the woven's probably are a very durable line, I treat my raquets very badly... I don't try to break them by any means but both my woven 2's are chiped and scrapped all over from nicking the ground and alot of raquet clashes.

    what I really want is a woven 8-a .. I think i'm going to order one soon

    You can patch up the chipped areas with auto paint. wwcbro is doing that and it works!
