WASABI is a four sided (square) shaped co-poly tennis string designed to blow your opponents off the court. The sharp edges grip into the ball, allowing players to hit spin loaded shots. WASABI also features a super slick coating for enhanced snapback and a softer response.
Tension maintenance I would say is around average. It’s not bad, but not much better than other polyester strings in the category.
Spin potential is excellent. The ball seems to dip in over and over again. I felt like the more open string patterns worked better in this respect.
Comfort is very good. I had no issue with it in any of the racquets. I think Toroline’s poly are generally arm-friendly co-polys.
Control is good. It’s a softer poly, so it can’t compete with stiffer strings in the control category, but compared to other softer poly strings, it’s great.
Feel is good, nothing outstanding, but as expected.
Overall, I really like this string. Not sure if it beats Caviar for me, I just loved the feel of that string, which is perhaps a tiny bit softer still. But the tension maintenance and control seem slightly better with Wasabi.
Another strong competitor from Toroline. Definitely a brand worth checking out. Sadly, they don’t seem available easily in Europe from distributors.
