Dyreex Cube Flash 1.20 (23kg) x Pro Kennex Ki5 295 (dense 16*20 string pattern)

Power n' Spin blend. Minimal notching. Very good snapback and durability for my level.

Baseline: played it both with beginner and advanced hitting partners. At low intensity hitting, it didn't make a huge impression to me coming back form several days off court because of bad weather conditions trying to find my form again. It played the complete opposite with advanced partners at faster pace.

Forehands: Clean and fast hitting with a somewhat of a vertical swingpath led to production heavy balls (powerful topspin shots). Even though this racket has a very dense string pattern, I played much more confident when I started hitting with spin and remained doing so till the end of this playtest. The stringbed got very comfortable (racket's orientation, also), offered distintive ball pocketing and bite. I can see it being used on stiffer rackets with no issues for the joints as it felt elastic/"poppy".

Backhands: 2-handed-backhands felt best when I held my racket super loose and accelerated fast to get topspin. Better results than hitting flat. Slices and drop shots were hit even better, so the stringbed offered me confidence to execute this kind of finesse shots.

Netplay: *** Will hit more and come back for this ***. Didn't like it very much on half-volleys, because even though I hit several like I mostly do, with this one they dropped farther from me (closer to my partner) than I wanted (racket?).

Conclusions: this is the Dyreex string I've enjoyed playing the most, mainly because it got me back into hitting with more topspin, I could lift the low balls and got them to land safely in-bounds. Chest-high forehands were also hit much more confidently when hitting with topspin and got me hitting with my elbow farther away from my body with a more extended arm. The stringbed was lively but not unpredictable when hitting with some spin.

On more open string patterns, I would go 1kg higher to reduce some of the power in order to be able to hit the flatter backhands more safely when defending.

Compared to the Cube Max, this one was more powerful, felt slicker and more predictable when hitting the flat forehand.
