Gamma Moto
Heptagonal (7-sided) co-polyester monofilament
Performance ratings
Overview
Gamma Moto is a shaped co-polyester with seven spin-friendly edges that delivers classic control-string performance. Armed with sharp edges, Moto gives players a tight grip on the ball with excellent spin. Playtesters compared it to Solinco Tour Bite and Luxilon ALU Power Spin - all control-oriented strings with solid spin potential. The most surprising attribute was how long Moto stayed fresh, retaining playability decidedly longer than many softer co-polys that tend to get mushy over time.
