What the manufacturer says

Mach-10 is Solinco’s newest co-polyester string, engineered for explosive power, superior feel, and long-lasting playability. At its core is the CloudFORM technology—an innovative chemical formulation that gives Mach-10 its best-in-class power, comfort, and tension maintenance.

Mach-10 breaks away from Solinco’s “big three” to introduce a new family of feel-driven, high-performance co-polyester strings. With a completely new composition, it captures the best qualities of its predecessors while elevating feel and control. Its pop and pocketing produce a signature sound, bringing a new dimension to its performance.

TENNIS WAREHOUSE REVIEW: 8.5

Polyester monofilaments tend to be stiff, which significantly limits the amount of comfort and power they can provide. With Mach-10, Solinco set out to test those limits, logging more than four years of tinkering and tweaking in pursuit of a softer, more powerful poly. According to our playtest team, Mach-10 does indeed pack more pop than the average poly, although it stops well shy of the power found in a multifilament, or even the softest polys. Our playtesters also gave Mach-10 a respectable score for spin, which is not surprising given the fact that it shares the same grippy shape and low-friction surface of Solinco’s big three: Hyper-G, Tour Bite and Confidential. Although our crew didn’t report any deal-breakers, this five-sided co-poly is not a good fit for the poly veteran who prefers the maximum control of a Tour Bite, or for the beginner for whom polyester is simply too firm. That said, for the poly player in need of a power boost, Mach-10 is definitely worth a test drive.
