Overview

Gamma TNT2 is Gamma’s premium solid-core synthetic. An Elastalon core with outer wraps and a pearl coating is processed for energy return; Gamma describes it as exceptional playability for a solid core string, lively without skimping on control or comfort. It sits between a basic synthetic gut and a multifilament in price, and comes in four gauges and six colors.

Best for

  • Juniors who want a lively synthetic with control
  • Players moving up from basic synthetic gut
  • All-court players
  • Players with mild arm sensitivity

Not ideal for

  • Heavy topspin string breakers
  • Budget-first families (basic synthetic gut costs far less)
  • Maximum spin seekers

Pros

  • Lively, powerful feel
  • More control than many soft strings
  • Four gauges including 18
  • Many colors

Cons

  • Costs about three times a basic synthetic gut
  • Wears faster than polyester
  • Reel only in a short 360 ft length

Stringer notes

Solid-core synthetic with a coating; handle like a premium synthetic gut.

Break-in period

Minimal.

When to replace

Every 10-15 hours or when it loses its liveliness.

Hybrid setup ideas

  • Poly mains with TNT2 crosses for a livelier bed
