"The string offers so much spin, it will rip the felt off the ball!"
Rated # 1 in SPIN for three years (stringforum.net). T1 Firewire, a triangular-shaped, new-generation, monofilament string, offers one of the best ball bites and spin potentials in the string industry. Exceptional tension stability and its crisp but arm-friendly playing experience make this string the front-runner for the competitive weekend warrior.
In the past I've avoided polys because of elbow problems but finally found poly strings that are surprisingly comfortable. I started using a hybrid with Firewire 18 gauge in my HEAD Speed MP at 46 lbs and a 17 gauge multi in the crosses at 50 lbs. and it played great. Just for kicks, I replaced ... View more
In the past I've avoided polys because of elbow problems but finally found poly strings that are surprisingly comfortable. I started using a hybrid with Firewire 18 gauge in my HEAD Speed MP at 46 lbs and a 17 gauge multi in the crosses at 50 lbs. and it played great. Just for kicks, I replaced multi crosses with Ghost Wire 18 gauge at 46 lbs and found that it provided even more bite on the ball and had a softer feel when playing in cold weather. I'm a 4.5 former college player and current tournament player.
Great spin/control string at an affordable price. I have used it in two setups: 1) Yonex VC Pro 97 with Firewire 1.20 mains/WeissCannon SilverString 1.20 Crosses, both at 52lbs, 2) full bed at 52lbs. in VC Pro 97.

Great spin/control string at an affordable price.

Firewire has solid spin potential and allows for good control. I prefer the hybrid (with a round cross) over the full bed, as I find the full bed a bit on the firm side (but still very playable, no pain, etc.).
Terrific string at a great price. Offers superior spin and control. I like it better than many higher priced strings that have similar characteristics.

I got a packet of this a while ago and am now on my second reel. I am a high school tennis coach and it has become my go to string for not just myself but my players. I string it on the mains and put a nice soft synthetic on the cross.
I love this string. I use it in a hybrid set up in my three different racquets: Head Tour 95, Yonex Ezone 100, and Babolat Pure Drive Roddick. I pair it with Iso Speed Professional Classic in the crosses. I get a comfortable string bed that offers good access to spin, control, and shot ... View more
I love this string. I use it in a hybrid set up in my three different racquets: Head Tour 95, Yonex Ezone 100, and Babolat Pure Drive Roddick. I pair it with Iso Speed Professional Classic in the crosses. I get a comfortable string bed that offers good access to spin, control, and shot predictability. Two of my advanced students use a full Firewire string bed and will have nothing else. Really nice string. All the different gauges play great.
I have found this string to give me the best control. Not so much great power but I like control better than power. I have this string in one racquet and another more power string in another. While I go back and forth between the two, this string definitely gives me more control. Will buy again.
This string (red firewire 17g) is an amazing MAIN string. Spin, ball grab, feel, & playability duration are all top notch. (so-so on snap back). It pairs very well with kirschbaum PL2, or syn gut in the crosses. I did not like this as a full bed tho. 4.0 hard hitter (5.0s hit harder than me)
noticed ball bounced quite high when brushing the ball on groundstrokes. could kick the ball alot higher and more spin on slice serves. very effective...
I am a club level 4.0 player and my son plays competitive Division II tennis in College. We both LOVE T1 Firewire. Nothing else comes close to the feel and spin of this string. We have used Lexilon ALU power rough... T1 Firewire far superior, Weiss Cannon Silver, again T1 Firwaire is superior. ... View more
I am a club level 4.0 player and my son plays competitive Division II tennis in College. We both LOVE T1 Firewire. Nothing else comes close to the feel and spin of this string. We have used Lexilon ALU power rough... T1 Firewire far superior, Weiss Cannon Silver, again T1 Firwaire is superior. Solinco barb wire... T1 Firewire is the best in terms of spin, feel, control. Durability wise it is similar to these I have mentioned. This works great as a hybrid string but what I have found is the feel and control with this string is so good I do better with T1 Firewire alone. One of the most affordable premium poly strings available. YOU MUST GIVE THIS A TRY!

Felt in love with these strings the first time I tried it. It has the most spin out of all the strings I've used with great ball pocketing and feel. So far I've found it best using it as a main string and using a smooth co-poly in the cross to maximize the spin. Tension maintenance is excellent for a co-poly. These strings has improved my overall game, I can generate tons of spin and my slices stays low. I've pretty much strung all my racquets with Firewire. Thanks Tier One, great product!
FireWire is the best string I have ever played with! The durability is solid and it feels great too. It is a strong lively string, but not too lively to the point where I can not control the ball.

What I love the most about this string is how much spin I am able to generate with it. I usually play with the 17G and I can really unload on the ball with top-spin when hittin ground strokes from the baseline. I recommended this string to all my friends in the past and this string set stills stands as my no.1 all-time favorite.

Honestly, I mentioned it, but Firewrie just felt like a much better Cyclone Tour. Like this is how CT was supposed to feel haha. But T1FW out performed the Volkl in pretty much every category. It's hard to make a comparison, there's not many strings quite like it.
These strings do give you the extra spin during those long rallies. Plus the strings really grips on the tennis ball to give that forehand/backhand the excellent topspin to go over the net. They are quite durable, I am impressed!
I have tried the triangular Firewire string at the moment and it is fantastic.

I have tried the triangular Firewire string at the moment and it is fantastic. I have changed all my racquets to it and have strung a couple of other players racquets and it is performing really well with so much more spin and definitely crisper off the racquet. I am very happy and will certainly be interested in getting some more and possibly even to sell to other stringers in Australia. I am a full time coach at 3 clubs in Melbourne and racquet stringer at these clubs.
Finally had a chance to string up my Head Speed MP with a 16g T1 Firewire. WOW. Insane ball bite. Not sure if this is even legal. Although the string felt pretty firm I still was able to generate enough pop. Durability and tension stability was great as well. Will be my go-to string in the future!
FIREWIRE IS nice string. after i read this post i went and pull the trigger on a 16 and 17gauge. so far i played with the 17 on my pure aero. i had some awesome control and spin on my strokes, easy to generate power when needed also very soft. im a 5.0 player that plays with volk 17 or hyper g17...

I am on my 2nd real (semi-frequent string breaker). The spin/bite is excellent. The touch/feel is really good for a string with this much bite. I just Firewire in a hybrid set up with a more touch/feel oriented string in the crosses, but was also happy when I just used Firewire both ways. If ... View more

I just Firewire in a hybrid set up with a more touch/feel oriented string in the crosses, but was also happy when I just used Firewire both ways. If you haven't tried it, drop the tension in your crosses 2-4 pounds to add extra bite on your mains. It will result in more frequent break though as the mains are carrying even more of the weight.
