   Is the Tecnifibre X-one biphase more similar to the 305+ offering lots of power but also lots of feel or the Tecnifibre DNAMX is more like the 305+. I like to string my racket at around 26lbs.

   Thanks,

   Aaron

   In May or so, I made the switch from these strings to the ashaway supernick micro ZX strings. I have to say, these strings feel a lot tenser and harder than the supernick zx micros. They do get a lot better after you play with them for awhile, but at that point they are close to snapping, so you don’t get much time with the string at their best. On the flip side, the supernick micro ZX strings were awesome from the get-go, and continued to be great. I overall definitely preferred the latter. It had more grip and control on the ball, similar power but overall a just softer and better feel. That being said, the ZX micros aren’t very durable. These strings aren’t that durable either, but much better in that regard to the ZX micro strings

   also, when stringing my racquet I had a much easier time with these strings than the DNAMX. The DNAMX seem to be a bit oily and greasy out of the package, making it difficult to pull them through areas where you have multiple strings going through a single hole.

   I’m currently using the DNAMX string in the 18 gauge 1.15mm. I previously used the 305 1.20mm, then switched to the 305 1.10mm, and liked the extra feel and cut in the thinner gauge, however had some premature string breakage, likely due to mishits. This happened on 3 string jobs, so I’m now trying the DNAMX at 1.15mm, which I hope is a good compromise between the 305’s 17 and 18 gauges, in terms of durability and feel. The feel is pretty good, and very comparable to the 305. Power feels a tad more than the 305. As for durability, it’s only been a few weeks, but so far so good!

   I’ve also tried the 305+, which felt more stiffer than the 305, and I can say the DNAMX is a different string, closer to the 305 in terms of feel and softness.

   DNAMX vs 305+

   DNAMX:
   Production Process – 100% elasticity for dynamic power and shock absorption
   Construction – 100% Elastyl™ fibers: Maximum power
   Finishing – SPL² Inside: Maximum Cut

   305+:
   Production Process – 400% elasticity for outstanding power
   Construction – 50% Elastyl™: Ultimate power
   – 50% Polyamide fiber: Great flexibility and cut effect
   Finishing – SPL: Anti abrasion coating for durability

   Any comments for those who used both?

      I have used both DNAMX and 305+ and came to a conclusion that DNAMX is not as durable as 305+. I think it may be the Anti abrasion coating on 305+ that makes it last longer.

      Playability wise I felt 305+ has much more power and more responsive than DNAMX.

      Pretty opaque data on the two strings – it is impossible to compare the two. I know this is all the manufacturer provides – I have tackled them on this, without success. What are we to make of 100% Elastyl (Maximum power) vs. 50% Elastyl (Ultimate power)? How is “power” measured? Is the difference in power (between “maximum” and “ultimate”) a lot, or just a few percent? The 305+ has the other 50% made of polyamide fibre “great flexibility and cut effect” – does DNAMX having (presumably) 0% polyamide fibre mean that you get zero flexibility and cut effect? What does flexibility mean, anyway? I am a stringer, and I need to have comparable data on different strings so that I can advise customers on what is best for them. It’s bad enough trying to compare the “technical” data from a single manufacturer about two of their own strings, but almost impossible to compare string from two different manufacturers.

   How does this string compare to the Tecnifibre 305’s? i currently play with a Tecnifibre Suprem 125, i like the feel and control but there is no power?

      Also how does this string play in comparison to the 305+ which i have on my 125s, i really don’t like the stiff feeling of them, power WAS there but has now faded thinking of cutting them out and replacing them but i don’t know what with?

   Put these bad boys on my Eye V – Lite 110 Power
   25-28 tension ….around there.

   anyways. i’m loving the power of them.

   i know for certain i love the new ashaway zx better.

   but i also like these dnamx the best of all of the tec strings. good control and haven’t had any issues like breakage as some others on here have mentioned. getting a lot good lob and deep shots on these with better efficiency

   definitely will buy again and keep on the Eye racket. keeping the ZX on my prince’s

   I am surprised there are no reviews yet of this string. Once I learned about this string from the Pro Warrior review made by PDH, I started looking for places to buy one, but there weren’t any.

   After a few weeks I found it available on PDH sports and I bought two sets of 1.20mm thickness.

   I installed one on my ProWarrior 600 racket @ 11.3 kgs tension, and I have another ProWarrior 600 strung with 305 green @10.5 kgs (to give more power). Playing with both rackets back to back, the DNAMX has way more power, and very good control, at least as good as the 305 green. Its power really shows when returning slow balls, even at the back of the court. A simple wrist flick returns the ball to the front wall with ease. This also makes me return boast shots with confidence.

   For full power shots, I think I am limited by the racket. I have a 2012 EXO3 Rebel with 305+ strings, and it can produce higher power shots. But its heavy, and I like the ProWarrior more.

   All in all, this is the best string I have ever used (compared to 305 and 305+). Once I break the 305 green, I will try the X-one @ 11.3 kgs. I am anxious to compare its power & control to the DNAMX on the same racket.

   I’ve had 2 sets of dnamx snap on me now, within a month of each other, so safe to say I won’t be buying anymore. Seems it’s quite weak when the ball is hit hard to the side of the sweet spot. Some red ashaway string I have on another racket (not sure type) seems to put up with the same torment so might keep to that.

      Do you string on an electronic machine?
      My best advise (from experience) on using PU based string, is to set your machine to lock-out tension, and NOT apply constant tension.

      If you do not have a pre-stretch function, just up your machine by 1lb, and keep it on lock-out. If you set it to 27, and lock out, you will not pull out the elasticity of the string and it resist of-centre string breakages a lot more.

      Correction, now it’s 3 sets that have snapped within a couple of months, while the ashaway powenick 18 on my carboflex is fine. Def not buying again. Will try the biphase next as the guys at my local club all seem to use it.

   Anyone tried the Eye X.Tech Black string? The club I play at started offering the Eye strings like 6 months ago and I have to say I really like them. They give very nice cut on the ball, good power and durability is also good. I tried the 305+, but they kept breaking near the beam if I miss hit a shot. This has not happened with the Eye string so far. I only break them when they wear out in the middle. I will try their green Eye version as well and see if I can feel any difference.

    Dnamx is definitely not just 305+ rebranded? They’re definitely different strings?

    Heard through the grape vine there were a lot of complaints that the 305+ was breaking prematurely so they had to do something. It broke prematurely on me and several players at my club. Heard Dnamx has been used by several of the pros with great success so here it comes. My take on the string, 305+ was touted as 305 with more power with everything you like about 305 and no it never was, it was much harder stiffer and not the best touch….the Dnamx is 305 with more power. If you like 305 for rails, control, touch and feel but need just a little more power Dnamx could be your string. If you are using a teardrop headed racquet with 305 but want to go back to a closed throat for its control, feel and touch the Dnamx should allow you the opportunity. If you find that in a closed throat racquet 305 just doesn’t allow you to keep your strokes effortless and you have to truly make perfect strong full strokes to get the ball to the back of the court the Dnamx should help. With the Dnamx in teardrops you up the power even more in closed throat in my case it gives the racquet new life and allows you to drive easier to the back of the court. Great touch, great rails with control and feel. If you like 305 you will like Dnamx better. It allows you to be in more control. Enjoy the game!

    DNAMX is going to replace 305+ as per tecnifibre’s 2016/7 catalogue here.
    https://issuu.com/tecnifibre/docs/151216_catasquashtecnifibre_2016-gb

    I can understand why 305+ was replaced with DNAMX.

    people skip 305+ and opt for 305 green which has the highest share in strings market followed (with a big gab) by x-one biphase. So to flourish 305+ sales they need to give it another name (few tweaks too) and associate it with world #1 Mohammed alshorbagy.

    Just bought some of the new Tecnifibre Dnamx 18g and 17g and strung the 18g up in a Harrow Vibe. Really nice if you like soft strings. The closest to gut yet with better consistency. About to string up an Eye control 120 with it strings nicely also not much coil memory. I have tried a lot of different strings and I seem to always go back to 305, so far the Dnamx has the nice consistency of the 305 for great rails, softer feel, more power and about the same bite and spin availability. At low tensions, like the 305 it springs back to it’s starting position each time, you can hear the strings moving around when you cut the ball but they spring right back in place. Nice string. Enjoy the game!

       I would love to hear what you thought about the Dnamx in the V Lite 120 Control. I am currently experimenting with Dnamx 17 and 305 18 in my CF125s and V Lite 120 Controls. I am considering adding Ultranick 18 into the mix. Have you hit with the UN18? How would that compare to the Dnamx and the 305? I have been playing with the 305 18 for quite a while and was surprised how much I liked the Dnamx that came strung in the CF125…Surprisingly soft.

    My AP 125 came with this, and after only a few weeks has snapped unfortunately (about 9 or so games). Seemed to snap in one of the top corners, but not sure if it was a genuine string issue or i clipped the ball wrong on power shot. I’ve bought another set of the same as i did like the way the whole racket played. Just hope it isn’t a recurring issue.
