SWEET 17 WHITE STRINGS
4/5
Amazing string. Ive try many other strings but none come close to the Forten Sweet 17 as it works best for me. It give me the soft solid feeling like natural gut very good for the arm, power, control and pop. Spin is decent but it is great for who like to hit the ball very flat. For me, the only con about this string is that it move too much at low tension and of course it lose tension fast in a few days or about 10 hours. However, with the great low price, you can cut out and replace with a new string without any hesitation.
In general, Forten Sweet 17 is great string for the money. Plays soft, lively feel, power and control. If you dont have arm problem, it is fantastic as a cross string on hybrid with polyester. Hard hitter should go for 16 gauge.

Good soft in hybrid
5/5
I have been using this in my hybrid strings for the past few years and am very satisfied with it. The strings are very soft and they never break. The strings are an excellent combination of softness and power.
Will definitely recommend them to players at all levels.

I use Sweet 17 as part of my hybrid setup for my Wilson Juice 100 racquet, stung at 55lbs. Its a perfect cross string for anyone that is on a budget. It is also a very durable string that has yet to break with my setup. Will purchase again!
