Here’s a review from Paul at PDH Sports:
And I reviewed the Orange version:
Tecnifibre X-One Biphase 18 – Orange Review Transcript
Tecnifibre x1 bi-phase orange string so I strung this at 26 pounds. When I first started hitting with this string it was so powerful that I didn’t like it i almost cut it out the very first day after I used it but I decided to stick with it mostly out of laziness and I came to really really like the string it has a ton of power almost too much in the beginning but I eventually learned how to kind of control it and it really i developed a lot of feel with it as well now you can see the um sort of filaments are being destroyed there so on the whole very much enjoyed this – I then show a few clips of me testing them out

Hi, I been using these X-One string the red one for a while, I strung them at 27lb on a tecnifibre 125s and prince racket, the feedback was pretty good, and responsive,
OK when it wear out its start fraying but not braking, just like the car tyre, you want good grip with softer compound, it wear out quicker, it depend what you want and how you want it to feel, just because the string fray it doesn’t make it a bad string.
Also different tension, different racket shape for the same string feel different, try and error.

I like this string, strung at 25lbs on the TF Dynergy APX 135. Feels all-round ‘better’ than the Supernick ZX (27lbs) that were on it previously. More feel, I guess? I’m not good enough to know, I just know it has elevated the racket.

Honestly this string sucks compared to 305, DNAMX and the ashaway powernick and supernick zx series. It feels pretty terrible, bad feel, and really hard to control power. Seriously would not recommend, 305 is infinitely better if you want a smooth string, and for a textured string, you can’t go wrong with the powernicks or the supernick zx.

how is this string? good?

Depends what you are looking for. It is great for power, rails and touch if you can control it, soft hands. Great if you like low tensions stays put and or bounces back to position. Has a smooth feel so great for keeping rails tight, nice on the body very little vibration and smooth feel. Frays so will give you a look into when it is time to change before it breaks. Not sure what pros are using it now that they have natural color. Looks like most still use 305 and Dnamx? Be nice to know who plays what. Now what tension…..Enjoy the game.

sounds like exactly what i’m looking for. i’ve tried 305 and dnamx. I really enjoyed 305, dnamx not so much. unfortunately 305 looks like crap with my new dunlop revelation racquet and that matters a lot.
thanks

Hi,
Can some one please categorize this string. What would you consider it being. A power or a control string?
Troy says

The three main Tecnifibre strings are the 305, DNAMX (formerly 305+), and X-one biphase.
The 305 is more of a control string, while the X-one Biphase more of a power string. The DNAMX, on the other hand, is an intermediate between the other two.
Hope that help.

Tension alone won’t cause string to fray – it’s how hard you hit and how much cut you hit with. That’s what causes the friction on the strings and the fraying. TF seems to have gotten a bit lower in quality lately, and isn’t as durable as it once was. I recommend Ashaway, which seems to have cracked the code on good string that won’t break easily. Maybe it’s their fishing line heritage, where a string that won’t break is very important.

Thanks for your inputs! I seem to do a lot of cutting. Which Ashaway string do you recommend??
Brock in HK says

I use Ashaway Supernick XL, which seems to have about the same feel for me as the Tecnifibre green at 1.1, but is a bit thicker and seems to be much more durable. And I haven’t lost much of the bite on the ball I thought I was getting with the thinner string. Hope that helps.

Hi Pierre,
Was wondering what is your recommended tension for this string. I’ve seen people post in forums that it should be 26lbs or even lower considering it’s a thinner string and the durability is low.
I had it for 27lbs and it was great for 3 weeks until it started to fray, possibly because it’s too tight.
Thanks for your help!

Hi David,
I’m not sure what the best tension is for this string. I’ve looked through my notes but can’t seem to find what I even strung my prior racket at. I usually go for a lower tension (25, say). I never really found out how well the strings held up, because my racket broke within a few weeks after getting it restrung. Maybe someone else will weigh in.
Thanks
