Because of the string's crispness, I definitely found that off-center shots didn't behave very well. However, if I middled the ball, the result was great. Like playing with a real player's racquet, playing with Babolat Hurricane Feel Strings rewards shots to the extent that you find the sweet spot. Conversely, the more off-center your shots are, the less you are rewarded. In effect, I found that the strings reduce the racquet's sweet spot, but reward you well if you're hitting a clean ball.
To get the most out of this string, you really need to know your way around a court. It is for advanced players who are looking for a crisp, responsive poly that's very durable and retains tension well. I would like to stress that, aside from the advanced category of player, it does not offer touch, control or feel as its name suggests. For intermediate and advanced players who are looking for a softer, more forgiving poly, Babolat RPM Blast, Babolat Revenge and Gamma Zo Tour are three polys that I unhesitatingly recommend.
