Modern technology has allowed the production of poly-based strings to take quantum leaps forward in terms of overall performance. Guts and Glory Tennis has been on the cutting edge of these advancements and has consistently been the first to offer the top performing strings to our customers. The WeissCANNON series of co-polys clearly ranks at the very top of these strings and we are pleased to introduce them to the USA.
Guts and Glory Tennis is proud to be the first official US vendor for the WeissCANNON string products.

COMMENTS: Silverstring is chocked full of premium high tech materials and has been developed by a company who was intimately involved and familiar with Luxilon products. The Silverstring offers a refreshing and unique level of playability; clearly designed to be a higher-level and better performing version of the world's most popular poly-based offerings. The popular early generation poly-based strings and many of their clones tend to play much harsher and are not able to match this product in terms of tension maintenance and overall performance.
Many will want to compare this string to the Luxilon ALU. The likely conclusion is that the Silverstring does offer some similarities, but provides greater comfort and holds the high level of performance significantly longer. (See tension section below) The Silverstring stands out with a feel that is unique among poly-based offerings. Silverstring users often describe it as smooth and plush amidst a flurry of superlatives.
TENSION: Using an ERT 700 we have taken the following tension measurements using the Silverstring 1.20mm in a Prince Original Graphite OS racquet. This data reflects measurements using a racquet that also has experienced several hours of court time throughout the measurement period.
Initial Measurement |
DT = 37 |
Overnight |
DT = 35 (5% Initial Tension Loss) |
3 - 5 Days |
DT = 34 (8 - 11% Tension Loss) |
6 Days - 30 Days |
DT = 33 (11 - 13.5% Tension Loss) |
