None of our playtesters mentioned noticing the shape of RZR Rx, but it is noticeable without changing the way you string. Average number of hours playtested was 26.9. These are blind tests, with playtesters receiving unmarked strings in unmarked packages.
The string was tested for five weeks by 33 USRSA playtesters, with NTRP ratings from 3.5 to 6.0. RZR RX 16 added 16 grams to the weight of our unstrung frame. In lab testing, Prince Synthetic Gut Original had a stiffness of 217 and a tension loss of 11.67 pounds, while Gamma RZR RX 16 had a stiffness of 217 and a tension loss of 15.7 pounds. Our control string, Prince Synthetic Gut Original Gold 16, measured 78 RDC units immediately after stringing and 71 RDC units after 24 hours, representing a 9 percent tension loss.

We recorded a stringbed stiffness of 77 RDC units immediately after stringing at 60 pounds in a Wilson Pro Staff 6.1 95 (16 x 18 pattern) on a constant-pull machine.Īfter 24 hours (no playing), stringbed stiffness measured 69 RDC units, representing a 10 percent tension loss. The diameter measured 1.24-1.36 mm prior to stringing, and 1.19-1.25 mm after stringing, although at least some of this variation is due to the oval shape of RZR Rx.

Gamma tells us that RZR Rx is designed for players who want the control and spin of a monofilament polyester string without the harshness and arm problems associated with the typical polyester string. The oval shape provides excellent spin for the baseline player. Thus RZR Rx transfers more energy to the ball and less impact to a player’s arm. The TPE used in RZR Rx is more resilient than a typical polyester string.
RZR Rx is like a composite polyester string but the TPE is engineered to stretch more upon impact for enhanced comfort and control. Gamma RZR Rx is an oval-shaped co-extruded monofilament made of proprietary thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), a material that can be thought of as being halfway between plastic and rubber.
