Kirschbaum Xplosive Speed 1.20 is a polyester monofilament string designed to deliver a highly elastic, responsive feel compared to traditional firm polys. Its thinner profile produces a lively response that helps generate easy depth while keeping trajectories controlled.
The 1.20 mm gauge (approximately 18 gauge) emphasizes feel, ball pocketing, and quick response at impact, allowing the string to engage the ball efficiently for enhanced spin and touch. This gauge favors responsiveness over durability, making it ideal for players who value feel and feedback.
As a polyester, Xplosive Speed sits on the softer, more power-friendly side of the spectrum. In this thinner gauge, it delivers increased elasticity and responsiveness while maintaining the stability and directional control expected from a monofilament string. It performs well in full string beds or hybrid setups for players seeking liveliness without losing control.
Best for: players looking for a highly responsive, feel-oriented polyester and who are willing to trade some durability for enhanced touch and liveliness.
