Why so many more posts about string A?
Were the same number of sets sent out for both play tests? I find it interesting that posts are 3 to 1 in favor of the A string so far.

In my case I can tell you, I have lots of extra time to playtest this string since it is summer and I am on the court many more hours. I most cases, these playtests are done in the winter or late fall for some reason and my court time is limited. This one of the few times I can take my time and I intend to do so. So far.. I like the string. I am not seeing that much extra spin so far.

Liking the string so far, after 3 league matches. It's moving around a bit now, so I'll hit it with some silicone spray and give it one more try before before posting a review, probably next weekend.
I just got a new racquet for my wife. Pretty good trade, huh? |

Usual set up Luxilon Savage @ 58lbs
prototype B Full Bed @58 lbs Pro Staff 95 The power level was decent on this string. It felt a little crisper than my savage string with a little more touch and feel. It definitely is not as comfortable though. This racquet looked and felt like Lux ALU Spin to me. Despite it's shape I wasn't able to create any real spin on my serves. Grounds and volleys were decent with good placement. I think i would try this string again at a lower tension to see if the power increases and perhaps the comfort level as well. |

I am comparing the Playtest string B to tour bite 17g at 42/40 in my stock Head Microgel Radical MPs
Power= I really thought the power wasn't really an issue on my groundies. I especially liked the power on my OHBH. It is slightly less powerful than TB. On serves OTOH, was a bit more challenging to get that extra pop I had from TB. Feel= Compared to TB, it was definitely softer. Honestly, that was the only thing I liked about the feel. It felt muted and "pingy" (didn't know what kind of word to describe it) unlike TB where it is crisp. I would saw off center hits was felt very much so. It really helped me try and hit the sweet spot since it was that noticeable to me. Tension maintenance= I have compared the two strings for about 6 hrs and no major tension drop to report. (will update when I break the string or becomes unplayable) Control= Was very similar to TB. I knew where it was going on pretty much every ball. Spin= when I first felt it, I thought it was going to be super friendly like TB but it wasn't up there with Tb but it still gives good bite for a poly. Tension recommendations= I thought I should've strung it a few #s up to hopefully get the crispness I would like. General comments= Overall, I thought it was a pretty good string. I still prefer TB over it but if someone is looking for something similar to TB that is a softer, less power, and little less spin, then this is the string for you. Thanks again Solinco and TW for the opportunity!

seekay's playtest
Your regular string set up: Tourna Big Hitter Black 7 17g strung at 42lb in a Wilson Pro Staff Six.One 90.
Confirm the prototype you received: B Whether or not you used a full set or hybrid for the playtest: Full bed of prototype string. Tension used for playtest: 45lb Racquet brand and model used for test: Wilson Pro Staff Six.One 90 Power level of test string: Ample power for a poly. The power is easier to come by than with most polys, but still requires plenty of racquet head speed and good technique. Feel: Very soft and comfortable, especially for a poly. It's not quite as plush as Big Hitter Black 7, but it's still very easy to hit with. Tension maintenance: Tension held up well. I've hit with it for about 12 hours and although the feel has changed slightly, I haven't noticed any drop in playability. Control: Being on the softer end of the poly spectrum, this string sacrifices some control. If anything, I feel this is the string's weakness, but it's a good trade. Spin: Very impressive. The strings slide easily across each other and snap back into place after each hit. What the string lacks in control, it more than makes up for in spin production. Compare to the string you use most often: I'd place this in direct competition with Big Hitter Black 7. Both are soft polys with great spin potential. The Solinco prototype is a little bit stiffer and lower-powered than BHB7. Otherwise, they perform nearly identically. Tension recommendations: In the Pro Staff 90, I'd be tempted to drop a few more pounds, into the low 40's, but I didn't find anything particularly disappointing with my 45lb I starting point. General comments: As others have mentioned, this string looks a lot like Tour Bite, which has impressed me in the past. Though I didn't compare them side-by-side, I think this prototype is softer than Tour Bite, which makes it a better fit for my gear and game (YMMV). I found that the string really shined when I stood on the baseline taking big cuts and hitting heavy groundstrokes. Just like BHB7, the spin potential of this prototype gave me a lot of confidence to swing away, trusting that I'd get enough topspin to pull the ball back down into the court. I'd put this among my favorite polys, right up there with BHB7, MSV Focus Hex, Genesis Typhoon, and Solinco Tour Bite (imagine that). Thanks to Solinco and TW for the playtest. I've thoroughly enjoyed hitting with this one. |

Your regular string set up- Luxillon Alu power rough, 57lbs
Confirm the prototype you received - A or B- B Whether or not you used a full set or hybrid for the playtest- full bed If hybrid, list the other string used and whether it was in mains or crosses Tension used for playtest-57 lbs. Racquet brand and model used for test- Wilson prostaff six.one. 95 Power level of test string or hybrid- this string was a pretty low powered string which i liked because it really allowed me to take a good rip at the ball without really worrying wether it'll go in or out Feel (crisp? mushy? soft? stiff? off center feedback?)At first the string bed was a little iffy and didnt get too much pop and feel, but about two hours into playing the string bed really came alive and feel better then it did when i first got it strung up. The ball really sinks into the string bed unlike my luxillon which is really stiff, the feedback was better than average for a poly which was also a plus. Tension maintenance (how long before it became too loose or unplayable?)-though there was a slight loss in tension when i first started playing, i actually prefered it lost a bit of tension but after that it settled in real nicely and i didnt notice anymore of the tension loss. Control (predictable trajectory? performance on different strokes and swing speeds?)like i said before, the ball sank into the string bed allowing me to get more "meat" behind the ball. Since i am naturally a really hard hitter, if i even slowed down my stroke a bit it would come up short, so i had to be constantly ripping at the ball that way it would go where i wanted. Spin- spin was pretty ok, nothing like my luxillon but still ok, i'd give it about a 7/10 for spin. Compare to the string you use most often- much, much softer than luxillon which i liked, but i like the stiffnes of luxillon because it allows me to get more spin, and the luxillon has more power so dont dont have to be constantly hitting hard that way i dont have to worry about how deep it'll go. Tension recommendations (after hitting it, would you recommend a different tension?)- personally i would string it like 5 lbs lower that way i can get more power, i dont think this string would do particulatly good at higher tensions because of that low power. General comments (please summarize likes and dislikes)- Not many major issues apart for the slight lack of power i got from it, but that also meant i could just hit tremendously hard at the ball w/out worrying about it going past the baseline. All in all, i was kind of impressed of this string. Everyone is saying it is a softer version of Tour bite, which in my eyes seems good, i think this string will do just fine. Thank You TW for the oppurtunity and keep up the good work Solinco!!! |

Prototype B String Review
Confirm the prototype you received: Prototype B
Whether or not you used a full set or hybrid for the playtest: Full bed Tension used for playtest:55 lbs Racquet brand and model used for test: Head Youtek Extreme Pro Power level of test string or hybrid: This was a medium powered string for me. The first time that I hit with the string, I thought the power level was fairly low. However, after a few hours of use I found that it had livened up. I actually enjoyed the string more after I had hit with it for a bit because it had a little bit more pop. Feel (crisp? mushy? soft? stiff? off center feedback? The string felt softer than some poly's, but I did not find it to be too soft. With that said, it did not feel harsh on my arm or shoulder. The string never seemed to have a real crisp feeling even when freshly strung. Also, off center hits did not feel great but I find that to be true with most poly's. Tension maintenance (how long before it became too loose or unplayable?) I found the tension maintenance to be pretty good. There was an initial drop off after I hit with it for an hour or so, but after that tension felt fairly stable. The mains started to move around after several hours, but the string still played well. I also found the string to notch significantly less than my usual set up so I imagine the durability should be pretty good in a full bed. Control (predictable trajectory? Control seemed to be the standout feature for me.I was able to direct and place the ball very precisely with this string. I could also really swing out without fear of launching the ball. When playing with the wind where the ball can sometimes fly on me, I felt confident with this string. Spin: I thought the string offered good access to spin on my ground strokes and serve, but nothing out of this world. There are spinnier string out there, but this is still a good string for topspin. Compare to the string you use most often: I usually string with Kirschbaum Spiky Shark in a full bed. The string felt a little less stiff, but not by much. The power level on the Prototype string was lower than the Spiky Shark, but did offer more in terms of control. I also did not think the the test string gave me the same level of topspin as the Spiky Shark. Overall though, the string still did offer good access to spin. I think this string would be more durable than my current set up as it seemed more resistance to notching. Tension recommendations (after hitting it, would you recommend a different tension?) I think that I strung around the right tension, but could have gone a little lower. However, if I would have strung lower that might have negated the control aspects of the string that I enjoyed. General comments (please summarize likes and dislikes): I think this would be a nice string for me during the indoor winter season, but I like my string to have a little more power in the summer to be able to hit through the wind and conditions. I thought the control offered by the prototype string was excellent and it would definitively work well to add control to a lively frame. I would have liked the string to feel a little bit more crisp when freshly strung, but I also enjoyed that it didn't seem to stress my arm or shoulder. Overall, I enjoyed the string and there is definitively a segment of players that it would benefit from it. Tennis Warehouse and Solinco- Thanks for giving me the opportunity to test this string! I really enjoyed it! Solinco makes some great polyester based strings and I think the prototype string would make a great addition to their polyester offerings.

Your regular string set up Solinco Tour Bite 17 at 52 pounds (constant pull)
Confirm the prototype you received - A or B B Whether or not you used a full set or hybrid for the playtest Full set If hybrid, list the other string used and whether it was in mains or crosses N/A Tension used for playtest 52 pounds (constant pull) Racquet brand and model used for test Yonex RDiS 100 midplus Power level of test string or hybrid This string had slightly above average power for a poly, but would be low powered coming from a different type of string. Feel (crisp? mushy? soft? stiff? off center feedback?) I would describe this as soft but not mushy. It still had very good feel, but the softness made sure that my elbow wasn't sore. Off center hits weren't anything special. I knew when I had hit off center and the shock was comparable to other polys. Tension maintenance (how long before it became too loose or unplayable?) This string held tension fairly well. However, after about 10 hours I had to adjust my stroke to keep the ball in. Control (predictable trajectory? performance on different strokes and swing speeds?) The control of this string was good. Directional control was there and depth control came to me after time. The string is predictable, but it produces less spin than Tour bite so I had to get used to the depth control. Spin Definitively a little less than Tour Bite, but still decent spin for a poly and more than most other strings. Compare to the string you use most often Power was about the same as Tour Bite, but depth was slightly more due to less spin. In the end I adjusted my strokes and the result was about the same. Control was just as good as Tour Bite, and the result of my shots were about the same. However this string would probably take it for me due to its softness. Occasionally after using Tour Bite my elbow is sore, so I will probably have to hybrid it soon. I would rather use this full bet than Tour Bite hybrid. Tension recommendations (after hitting it, would you recommend a different tension?) 52 pounds seemed about right. I would string again at the same tension. General comments (please summarize likes and dislikes) I really enjoyed this playtest. If/When this string is released I will seriously consider switching to it. The positive is mainly softness, and negative spin, comparing to Tour Bite. I've now kept this string in for about 15 hours, and unlike other polys it hasn't become noticeably stiff. However it has become very difficult to control and I will be cutting it out. Thanks Tennis-Warehouse and Solinco |

Your regular string set up: Technifibre X-One Biphase 17g @ 63lbs
Confirm the prototype you received: B Whether or not you used a full set or hybrid for the playtest: Full bed Tension used for playtest: 52 lbs Racquet brand and model used for test: Dunlop AG 4D 200 Tour Power level of test string or hybrid: Good power but not overwhelming Feel (crisp? mushy? soft? stiff? off center feedback?): I usually use multis and rarely use poly, so I was not expecting it to be as soft as biphase but was surprised how soft it was. No arm or shoulder pain either. It also had some crispness to it as well. Tension maintenance (how long before it became too loose or unplayable?): So far no major tension drops (after initial drop) that makes it unplayable after about 10 hours of play. Control (predictable trajectory? performance on different strokes and swing speeds?): Control was average, not great and not bad. I felt that I have more control with my usual string set up. Spin: I did notice a little more spin on my groundstrokes than with biphase but that was expected since its a poly but no excessive spin (which I was expecting since it appears to be shaped) Tension recommendations (after hitting it, would you recommend a different tension?): I would like to try this string at a higher tension to see if the control can be improved without compromising the power.

Your regular string set up
Cyber Flash 17 mains with Gosen OG Sheep Micro 16 crosses, both at 55 pounds. Confirm the prototype you received - A or B B Whether or not you used a full set or hybrid for the playtest If hybrid, list the other string used and whether it was in mains or crosses Tension used for playtest Hybrid, with the Solinco in the mains and OG Sheep Micro in the crosses, both at 55 pounds, same as my regular setup, substituting the Solinco B for my usual Cyber Flash. Racquet brand and model used for test Prince Warrior OS Power level of test string or hybrid Good controlled power for a poly. Very comparable to my usual Cyber Flash. It has enough oomph to get the ball deep without sailing it long, but like most polys, this is relative. You still need to have a fast swing to get the most out of this string. Perhaps a bit less pop on first serves than CF, but not too shabby. Feel (crisp? mushy? soft? stiff? off center feedback?) A bit softer feel than Cyber Flash, but still a bit more crisp than a most of the newer spin oriented polys. Close enough to CF that it wasnt a distraction for me, and I tend to like crisp strings. The softer feel was a bit more comfortable and easier on the arm on mishits than CF (but still a lot stiffer than, say, multifilament strings). Tension maintenance (how long before it became too loose or unplayable?) Better than most polys. I played five matches and an hour practice session against a wall before giving up on it, about 12 hours of hitting. The string was moving around a bit at the end, but not terrible. Might get another match out of it, but at this point it becomes my backup/practice racquet. Control (predictable trajectory? performance on different strokes and swing speeds?) Good control. I could hit out with confidence and keep the shots in, or take the speed off the ball for drop shpts with reliability. I am not much of a net-player, but my few volleys felt OK for a poly. Maybe a hair less precise then Cyber Flash, but a bit more comfortable and easier on the arm. Spin A bit disappointing here. With a shaped string, I hope to get a lot more spin than with Cyber Flash, but the difference was only slight. Maybe its me I also use Big Hitter Silver Rough occasionally, and again, the difference in spin from plain old CF is just marginally better for me. Compare to the string you use most often Cyber Flash and this Solinco B have similar power, with maybe a nod to CF on first serves. The Solinco is crisp but perhaps a little softer in feel than CF. I could see switching to the Solinco if I thought my tennis elbow was flaring up again. The Solinco has a slight edge in spin, but not by much. Tension maintenance was similar to CF. This could be a good alternative to CF for me if the price were right. While testing, I did switch off a couple of times between Cyber Flash and this string, and did not feel an overwhelming urge to return to the Cyber Flash thats practically a rave from me, compared to some other playtests. Tension recommendations (after hitting it, would you recommend a different tension?) I tested it at 55 pounds, and that seems right for me. Its been really hot these weeks while I playtested, so Id probably drop it to 50 pounds during the winter months. General comments (please summarize likes and dislikes) Likes: mostly crisp feel, but not jarring. Good power, access to spin, and decent (for a poly) tension maintenance. Strung up reasonably easy. Something I noticed while trying to cut the string at a sharp angle to produce a sharp point the string wanted to flatten out under my clippers instead of producing a sharp point, and the ridges on the string flattened out a bit where it was clamped while stringing. Neither of those were big issues, though. I didnt have any major dislikes, so this was one of the better playtests Ive been involved with.
I just got a new racquet for my wife. Pretty good trade, huh? |

Played with this string for a while now and here are my results:
Tension used for playtest - I strung up at 57# on a constant pull machine with a 4 knot string job. My regular string set up - I'm a poly user, and have been for years now. My current string of choice at the moment is Babolat Pro Hurricaine Tour, but have been a long time user of Volkl Cyclone, Solince tour bite, and barbed wire. Racquet brand and model used for test - For this Playtest I strung the test string in my Babolat Pure Drive Plus "swirly". 16x19 pattern with a 1/4 grip. Racquet is in stock form. Power level of test string - The test string reminded me of tour bite. It had very good power, and quite a lively string bed. Serves had the usual pop that I expected from the tour bite string. To be honest it felt the same as tour bite. Feel (crisp? mushy? soft? stiff? off center feedback?) - Fell wise, the test string had a crisp feeling especially with touch shots. I had great response controlling the ball with these type of shots as the string hade some great feedback on drop shots. The racquet did not feel muted at all with the strings. Tension maintenance (how long before it became too loose or unplayable?) - Tension wise, great!!! It is still in the racquet and I am seeing how long before I feel the strings become unplayable. The strings dropped a few pounds, as with all polys initially, but have not seen much drop since. The strings are still playing strong as I have been playing four times a week. Control (predictable trajectory? performance on different strokes and swing speeds?) - Control has been excellent. I feel the response and feeling the strings had made it very predictable for me to place my shots. Although the racquet contributes to this quality, I believe the strings gave it a bit more. I feel the strings allowed for better control without having a boards type feel. Compare to the string you use most often - comparing it to the pro hurricane tour, I feel the SOLINCO was a better fit overall. I believe it was a bit less powered that the tour string, but provides an easier time with touch shots. I think it was a better fit for the stiff babolat racquet I use. Tension recommendations (after hitting it, would you recommend a different tension?) - After hitting with it in my racquet, I.might try it at a higher tension with this frame, possible at 60 #, but it played very well at my usual tension of 57 General comments - Overall, an excellent play test. I have always been a fan of solinco strings, especially in the stiff framed racquets. Im not convinced this string is any different from tur bite though. Only time will tell. Will I change?? Maybe.... the string reinforced to me why I love the SOLINCO string so much. If they do come out with a new off shoot to this, I will give it a try. If these are tour bite , with a twist, I would definitely buy a set to try again. Thanks TW for the chance to review the string. Neil

You must include the following in your review.
Your regular string set up: Mamba Premium Gut Mains/Pacific Poly Force Crosses at 56 lbs or Luxilon ALU at 52lbs Confirm the prototype you received: B Whether or not you used a full set or hybrid for the playtest: Full set Tension used for playtest: 57 lbs. Racquet brand and model used for test: Babolat Pure Drive Standard (Stock) Power level of test string or hybrid: This string is on the medium-high level of power for a poly. I found it to offer very predictable pop without any springy sensation that is often found in the softer co-polys. It is not quite as powerful as ALU Power. It probably sits somewhere between the RPM Blast/Hurricane Tour/Hurricane and ALU. Feel (crisp? mushy? soft? stiff? off center feedback?): This string is remarkably comfortable at 57lbs. My trend has been to string full poly at or around 52 lbs for years now. I kept my strining machine at 57 just because I have started playing much more on hard courts lately. I definitely would consider this string crisp but not harsh. I tend to strike the ball very cleanly in terms of being centered on the main strings; however, I do tend to make contact slightly higher than the center in terms of the cross strings (toward the tip of the frame). I found that the strings responded well at my usual point of impact (which is still within the sweet spot but at the upper 1/3 of it for sure). Some strings get pingy around there, but this one felt great. Tension maintenance (how long before it became too loose or unplayable?): I'm going on approximately 12 hours with this string and it has maintained tension quite well. I typically feel like most polys would have lost a significant amount of tension by now...especially all of the Luxilon strings. I am very happy with where they have settled in and have no desire to cut them out. I will definitely be able to play with these until they break. Control (predictable trajectory? performance on different strokes and swing speeds?): I find the control with these strings on par with the spin monster ALU power and superior to every other string on the market that I have tried. The string has an interesting texture that I'm not sure I know how to describe. It grips the ball very well and gives one excellent spin control which is the area that I use to gain control. I have no difficulty varying depth and find the string provides excellent control on intentionally short slices and drop volleys. I also found great directional control on serves. Spin: I found this string to be the best string I've ever used in terms of spin. I am kicking serves higher than I ever have before and actually just played a former ranked D1 player who said he didn't see a serve that kicked that high in college. I've always had a big kick serve, but I believe this string adds a little bit to it due to the control I have directionally. Compare to the string you use most often: Compared to most full polys, I found this string surprisingly comfortable. It's not as comfortable as a gut/poly hybrid but has more control and better spin. I am 100% considering switching over to this string if it's at a reasonable price point. I'm a bit disappointed in the majority of string manufacturers jacking up the prices of poly. Luxilon had my business at $13.75 years ago when it first came out, but now that it's up to $17 a set, I will never go back to using it exclusively. This string performs equally well, and if it comes in at a competitive price point (especially in reels), I will switch to it. Tension recommendations (after hitting it, would you recommend a different tension?): I think it is always difficult to recommend a tension different from your regular setup when trying a new string. I believe in changing one thing at a time and would therefore recommend sticking with your normal tension. On hard courts with a truer bounce and quicker pace, I am happy I went up a few pounds. That change, however, was due to surface and not string type. General comments (please summarize likes and dislikes): I think this string is an excellent control string that provides superior access to spin and above average power for a poly. I have absolutely zero dislikes for this string...the only possible downside to it will be price point. I hope Solinco makes this string a reasonable alternative to the more expensive polys even though it performs equally as well and even better in some categories (maybe I am asking for too much). If they do, this string may very well corner the market. Thanks Tennis Warehouse for allowing me to take part in this playtest. Your loyalty to your customers will keep me coming back as long as I am playing tennis. Also, thanks to Solinco for sponsoring a playtest through TW that allows us non-professionals a chance to try new products. |

Your regular string set up BABOLAT EXCEL 58LBS, OR RPM AT 52LB.
Confirm the prototype you received - A or B B Whether or not you used a full set or hybrid for the playtest FULL SET If hybrid, list the other string used and whether it was in mains or crosses NA Tension used for playtest STRUNG AT 52LBS Racquet brand and model used for test BABOLAT PURE DRIVE GT Power level of test string or hybrid ON A SCALE OF 1/10 I WOULD GIVE IT A 4 RATING AT AVERAGE TO LOWER POWER FOR POLYS I HAVE PLAYED. Feel (crisp? mushy? soft? stiff? off center feedback?) I GIVE IT A SLIGHTLY MUTED FEELING AND THE CENTER OF THE RACKET WAS GOLD AND THE OFF CENTER WAS SLIGLY PUNISHING COMPARED TO A MULTI BUT NOT TO BAD FOR A POLY Tension maintenance (how long before it became too loose or unplayable?) TENSION HELD PRETTY GOOD AVERAGE LOSS AFTER 24 HRS AND AFTER A FEW DAYS HITTING LOSS ABOUT 7% ON RACQUET TUNE. TENSION ACTUALLY FELT BETTER THE LONGER I HIT WITH IT. I DOUBT I WILL CUT THESE OUT ANYTIME SOON COMPARED TO SOME POLYS THAT GO DEAD AFTER A WEEK. DURABILITY LOOKS GOOD Control (predictable trajectory? performance on different strokes and swing speeds?) I AM 4.5 PLAYER WITH AVERAGE ALL AROUND PLAY NOT A BIG HITTER AT ALL EXCEPT FOR MY SERVE IS BIG. I REALLY ENJOYED SWINGING AS HARD AS I WANTED AND I HAD TO WORK VERY HARD TO HIT THE BALL LONG. I WAS REALLY ABLE TO RELAX AND SWING AWAY WITH CONFIDENCE MAKING THE CONTROL HIGH GIVING IT A 8/10 Spin AVERAGE NOT QUITE AS MUCH AS RPM BUT STILL PRETTY GOOD 7/10 ON SPIN Compare to the string you use most often COMPARED TO RPM I FELT IT WON OUT IN THE CONTROL DEPARTMENT BUT LACKED SLIGHTLY IN THE POWER AND FEEL. AND TO A MULTI LIKE EXCEL IT WONS HANDS DOWN BUT YOU CANT REALLY COMPARE A MULTI TO A POLY. Tension recommendations (after hitting it, would you recommend a different tension?) I REALLY EJOYED THE STRING AND I WOULD STAY AT 52 General comments (please summarize likes and dislikes) OVERALL RATING 7 OUT OF 10 FOR ME GREAT STRING FOR BLASTING AWAY AT THE BASELINE AND PLASTERING THE CORNERS. I AM A LITTLE OLDER AND I LIKE A LITTLE MORE POWER OUT OF MY STRINGS SO I DONT HAVE TO WORK AS HARD. I THINK THIS WILL BE POPULAR WITH THE YOUNGER KIDS AND ADULTS WHO SWING REALLY BIG. PRICE POINT IS GOING TO BE THE BIG FACTOR ON HOW POPULAR. THANKS Last edited by Brocolt; 07-26-2012 at 06:58 AM. |

Solinco Prototype Playtest - String "B" SteveI
I have been testing two frames with a hybrid of this string B (mains) and Head PPS 16 (crosses) in match play, drilling and practice sessions. I also used these frames to feedballs to students. The total playtest window was 4 weeks for both frames. I alternated frames to get appox. 30 hours of total test time.
Your regular string set up: Tourna Big Hitter Silver 17g and Head PPS 16G. Prototype Tested: B Hybrid: with with Head PPS 16G in crosses Tension: Test String B (55) / Head PPS 16G (52) Racquet Used in Playtest: Dunlop 400G modified (11.6 / 8 points HL) The frame strung up with very little problem. The sides are quite sharp and one needs to be careful when stringing not to hurt their fingers. Mine were a bit sore after stringing. Knots no problems to tie. String was middle of the road for stiffness while stringing. With my drop weight stringer, I needed only a bit of adjustment to obtain the proper setting. The string settled nicely. No extra stringing time over my normal setup. During the 1st hour or so the string played a bit on the stiff side bit then really broke in and the true playing attributes of the string were discovered. The string played very honest. Power level was medium in my testing cycle. Easy to create power and pace. Sweetpot was ample and no hotspots encountered. Very impressed with the consistant response of this set-up. I really enjoyed the feel of this string. Could employ touch when needed and still bash balls from the baseline. Since my game is really all court this string was almost perfect for my game. Comfort was outstanding. No arm issues to be reported. Even off center hits did not cause any issues. When the string not not play stiff, I would say more on the crisp side. Tension maintenance was above average for a 2nd or 3rd gen poly hybrid set-up. It was better than my Tourna BHS set-up but not quite as good as Tourna Big Hitter Black 7. The set-up became unplayable about the 15 hour mark but the fall in tension was very linear as was the BHB7. This string seemed to me to be someplace in the middle of a control and power range. I enjoy playing poly in the middle to low 50s and tend to like the additional power a poly can provide at lower tension. Spin was very easy to generate and I would estimate that I was producing about 15 to 20 % more spin with this string over my Tourna BHS hybrid set-up. Kick and topspin serves really increased hop with this set-up. Great control was seen both off the ground and with serves when spin was employed. Slices were a wonderful thing to see as as topspin. Control was not quite as good with flater strokes as you might have guessed, but why would one used this string if not to produce spin. When compared to the string you use most often (Touna Big Hitter Silver), I would say it is an improvement in power and spin production. I would also give comfort to the Test String B as well as feel. Control going to BH Silver. If I had to compare this string to one I have recent experience with it would be Tourna Big Hitter Black 7. Tourna Big Hitter Black 7 has the edge over test String B in control and tension maintenance while I feel Test String B excels in feel, touch and comfort. Both string produce great spin, but in a different way. Tourna Big Hitter Black 7 produces a tighter forward driving spin that seems to create a heavier ball, while the extra hop goes to Test String B. As far as tension recommendations go, I might want to test this string at 57 or so to see if I could obtain a bit more control without giving up too much power and the great feel this stringbed provides. Overall, I loved this string for all the reason stated above. I think they have a winner here and hope this string makes it to market under $10.00. If it was priced like Tourna Big Hitter Black 7 it would be a oustanding price/performer in my book. I would stock it and play it...to be sure. I saw no downsides with this offering. Again, very honest playing string with just a bit of help in the power and spin arena... Happy hitting TW and Solinco. SteveI... Last edited by SteveI; 07-26-2012 at 10:48 AM. |

First of all, thanks to Solinco and Tennis Warehouse for continuing to provide these opportunities to explore (potential) new products.
My test play was the Solinco B prototype string Strung as a full set, two piece job, in a Dunlop Aerogel 200 Tour at 50 pounds in both the mains and the crosses on a lockout machine. I played two sets on each of three different days over the course of one week with this set of strings. Played outdoors but the weather was fairly mild. Dry, low 70 ish. By the end of the first two sets, it felt like the tension had dropped some. At that time, the loss of power and loss of feel that comes with dead strings was not significant enough to require a re-stringing at that time. By the end of the sixth set, the strings certainly felt older but were still practice playable. I would definitely have put in fresh strings if I had a tournament or a competitive match to play. Power level The power of the test string is about average, to a little below average when compared to other polys. It had pretty decent spin and I had similar action on my kick serve and continuing to give each of my opponents fits. Solid control on ground strokes was expected with the lower power string and tension. The test string definitely felt more stiff but not to the point of being uncomfortable. The power level and, or spin might be positively affected by a tension adjustment. I needed, and was able to swing big with is string at 50. This particular racket is fairly flexible and helps provide dampening with the more stiff strings so it worked well with the string. I would recommend trying a lower than usual tension for this string. Comparing this string to my most recently regular string, Dunlop Black Widow 17 - The test string had a little less power than Black Widow. The spin effect also felt a bit diminished in comparison. That could have been to needing to change tension. The strings did not feel cheap at all, just a little different from what I am used to. Thanks Again, |

Your regular string set up: Wilson Enduro Pro 16g at 57 lbs & Head FXP 16 at 61 lbs
Confirm the prototype you received - A or B: B Whether or not you used a full set or hybrid for the playtest: Hybrid If hybrid, list the other string used and whether it was in mains or crosses: Prototype B in mains at 58 lbs & Head FXP 16g in crosses at 61 lbs Racquet brand and model used for test: Head Flexpoint Radical Oversized Power level of test string or hybrid: Medium. I did not feel that the string added more power to my shots in comparison to my usual set up. Feel (crisp? mushy? soft? stiff? off center feedback?): The feel was a little stiffer than my usual set up, but are softer than some of the polys that I have tried, such as the Prince Beast XP 16g. Tension maintenance (how long before it became too loose or unplayable?): I have played with it for a couple of hours and I haven't noticed any loss in tension. I think that it maintains its tension much better than other strings I've tried out. Control (predictable trajectory? performance on different strokes and swing speeds?): I thought that the control with this string was pretty good. I was able to control the depth and direction of my ground strokes and volleys well with this string. I also enjoyed the added control on my serves too. Spin: I enjoyed the amount of spin I got from this string setup. I am a relatively flat hitter and am looking for strings that will help me get my shots in the court, which this string did. Compare to the string you use most often: This string is a large improvement in the spin and control categories when compared to my usual set up, which helped my consistency considerably. I did not notice any extra power in my shots with this new string. While stiffer than my usual setup, the string was not as hard on my arm as other polys. Tension recommendations (after hitting it, would you recommend a different tension?): I am happy with the tension that I chose. General comments (please summarize likes and dislikes): I enjoyed this string and playtest. I am currently looking for a new string set up to help me improve my game further, especially in consistency. I think this string is a good candidate to switch to. Hopefully the price of the string will not break the bank. |

I played eight sessions at about two hours per session except for the seventh session. That session was just warm up plus one set for a total of about 45 minutes during an indoor match. Total playtest time was about 15 hours.
Your regular string set up Mains: Signum Pro Poly Plasma 17 at 48 lbs Crosses: Wilson Synthetic Gut Extreme 17 at 50 lbs. Confirm the prototype you received - A or B I received Solinco prototype B. Whether or not you used a full set or hybrid for the playtest If hybrid, list the other string used and whether it was in mains or crosses Tension used for playtest I played a hybrid for the playtest and strung on a Klippermate dropweight with no issues. Mains: Solinco prototype B at 48 lbs Crosses: Wilson Synthetic Gut Extreme 17 at 50 lbs. Racquet brand and model used for test Yonex RDiS 100 Midplus Power level of test string or hybrid It felt low powered to me, I had to really take big cuts on sitters to really feel like I could hit winners past people. Flat serves didn't have much pop for me either. When I took these big cuts though, string was comfortable. Feel (crisp? mushy? soft? stiff? off center feedback?) These strings really changed in feel with the temperature/conditions. They only felt crisp during the first two hours of hitting which was after I strung them up the day before. After that, they felt mushy especially when I played during the day in warmer weather or indoors. At night in low 60 degree weather, they didn't feel as mushy so I definitely preferred hitting with it then. Off center feedback was a non-issue for me, I clearly didn't hit good shots when that happened but it didn't hurt my arm at all. Tension maintenance (how long before it became too loose or unplayable?) I strung them up on a Friday and then played the next day and they felt fine. Two days later, on Sunday, they already felt different and too much on the mushy side. They're not unplayable but by the third session, the strings were moving around and I was already losing control. Control (predictable trajectory? performance on different strokes and swing speeds?) As I mentioned in the "feel" section above, the temperature/conditions really changed the string. I don't have a power baseliner game as I always play doubles so I chip and charge a lot. I mainly use slice serves for both first and second serves instead of the standard flat/kick serve. I hit forehand slices 75% of the time on that side but backhand side is a mixture of topspin and flat shots but usually at a rally pace to try and place the ball deep so I can work my way up to the net. When playing at night in low 60 degree weather, I had very good control on my forehand slices and could keep them low over the net and place the ball usually where I wanted. The same could be said for my backhand and serves. They went where I wanted them to go. When it was hot out or I played indoors in humid conditions, I felt like I lost complete control of the ball. Serves kept going long and slices would float up. I only played one set with these strings indoors during the seventh session because I had lost seven straight games in that match! Bageled in the first set and then lost my serve in the first game of the second set. Was it me or the string? Only one way to find out, I switched to my regular setup and immediately had the control I'm used to and broke right back. We ended up losing the set and the match in a second set tiebreaker. Final score: 6-0, 7-6 (7). That was the only time I used it in a match and only because the result of the match didn't affect the standings. I still wanted to win though (and not get double bageled!) so had to go back to my regular setup. Spin This is the first time I ever tried a shaped string and I didn't feel like I got any extra spin from the square shape. That's not a bad thing, just not better or worse than I'm usedto. My game is based on spin and my shots felt like they were biting like normal provided it was not hot conditions when control went out the window. I went into this thinking there would be more spin so personally, I'm thinking shaped string is more of a gimmick or all in one's head. That's just an opinion though based on this one experience. Compare to the string you use most often Ever since I started playing tennis in high school in 1997, I've used a full bed of Wilson Synthetic Gut Extreme. I only started using SPPP/Wilson Synthetic Gut Extreme hybrid setups towards the end of 2011 which is definitely my go to setup as I bought reels of both. I literally have no other experience with a full bed of poly or any other poly besides SPPP. I have no issues with control regardless of the temperature/conditions with SPPP. The crisp feel for the Solinco prototype was gone after one session while SPPP feels great for about 15 hours and doesn't move around as much either. Tension recommendations (after hitting it, would you recommend a different tension?) Since I have another half set left, I definitely want to try it at a higher tension so I can see if I can get better control in the hot conditions. Next time, I'm going to try 53 lbs as opposed to 48 lbs. General comments (please summarize likes and dislikes) These strings definitely felt soft to me so I did like the comfort when taking huge cuts at the ball such as on second serve returns. Unfortunately, my game is not based on power but rather spin and placement so the varying control would force me to use a different setup just for warmer days. I also didn't like the strings moving by the third session since I always straighten them out between points. Overall, it was a decent string but I wouldn't switch from SPPP for these. I know finding the right tension is key though so I hope the other half set works out at the higher tension for me. Thanks again Solinco and TW for my first ever string playtest! I will report back at a later time if it is better at the higher tension whenever I decide to string the other half set.

The roll crusher is compression type crusher, and it is made up of roller, bearing , adjusting device and driving device etc.
There are adjusting devices (wedge or gasket) between two rolls, with adjusting bolts fixed on the top of wedge. When adjusting bolts hang up wedge, the wedge will drive moving roll away from fixed roll. Roll crusher crushes using compression, with two rolls rotating about a shaft, towards the gap between the rolls. The gap between the rolls is set to the size of product desired, with the realization that the largest feed particle can only be 4 times the gap dimension. The particles are drawn into the gap between the rolls by their rotating motion and a friction angle formed between the rolls and the particle, called the nip angle. The two rolls force the particle between their rotating surface into the smaller gap area, and it fractures from the compressive forces presented by the rotating rolls.
Roll crusher is mainly used for the crushing of medium or lower-hardness mines and rocks in mine selection, chemicals, cement and building materials industrial production.
Some major advantages of roll crushers: They give a very fine product size distribution and they produce very little dust or fines. Roll crushers are effectively used in minerals crushing where the ores are not too abrasive and they are also used in smaller scale production mining of more abrasive metal ores, such as gold. Coal is probably the largest user of roll crushers currently. Coal plants will use roll crushers, either single roll or double roll, as primary crushers.
Usually, these crushers will have teeth or raised forms on the face of the roll. Roll crushers used for minerals and metal ores have smooth faced rolls.
The fixed part of roller and movable roller are driven by the motor via reducer and v-belt, the raw materials fall into the part between the two rollers from inlet of the machine. The two rollers rotates inward simultaneously. The materials are extruded and crushed, then the final products come out from the bottom of this crusher.
The materials to be crushed fall from the feeding mouth to the space between the two rolls, after being squeezed and crushed, the final products will naturally fall. When there are too hard materials or materials that cannot be crushed, the rolls of the roller crusher will automatically withdraw under the effect of hydraulic cylinder or spring to increase the gap between the rolls, and the too hard materials or the materials that cannot be crushed will fall down, thus protecting the machine from being damaged. There is a certain gap between the two rolls that rotate at the opposite direction, and the maximum discharging granularity of the final products can be controlled by changing this gap. Double roll crusher crushes the materials by relying on the two round rollers rotating at the opposite direction, and four-roll crusher crushes the materials by relying on the two pairs of round rollers rotating at the opposite direction.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches will now be guaranteed to silence your annoying child. This version not only calls for deep-frying the American staple, but also takes it to a whole different realm of deliciousness with the addition of banana chips for crunch and white chocolate sauce for dipping. Although this would be insane trade bait in the lunchroom, it's best to eat these deep-fried wonders right out of the fryer.–Max Sussman & Eli Sussman
LC Deep-Fried Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches Confession Note
We gotta confess—we struggled with the notion of gilding this childhood classic of a lily with ganache. We mean, what happened to purity of purpose? To simple pleasures? To us, the deep-fried rendition of a childhood peanut butter and jelly sandwich is damn good straight up. Cuz sometimes when it's midnight and you need one of these, you need to cut corners. Just sayin'. [Editor's Note: You can easily scale down the recipe to make just one sandwich.] But if you feel the need to embellish, well, we admit, we hear it's damn good with a shmear of the sweet stuff.
Special Equipment: Deep-fry or candy thermometer
Deep-Fried Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches Recipe
- For the white chocolate ganache (optional)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- For the deep-fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
- Peanut oil, for deep-frying
- About 1/2 loaf best-quality bread, perhaps a heavy sourdough nut or fruit bread such as raisin-walnut bread
- About 1/2 cup peanut butter
- About 1/2 cup strawberry jam (or any flavor)
- About 2 1/4 cups banana chips (optional)
- 1 cup (5 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Make the white chocolate ganache (optional)
- 1. Place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl and nest the bowl in a saucepan over but not touching simmering water. (Alternatively, put the chocolate in the top pan of a double boiler and place over the lower pan filled with simmering water.) Heat the chocolate until melted, occasionally stirring gently with a spatula to help the melting along. (Be careful not to let so much as a single drop of water get in the chocolate or it may seize.)
- 2. When the chocolate has fully melted, reduce the heat to low. Switch to a whisk and slowly add the cream, whisking constantly until fully incorporated. Remove the pan from the heat and scrape the ganache into a heatproof bowl. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Make the deep-fried peanut butter and jelly
- 3. Pour enough oil in a deep pot or deep-fryer to measure about 3 inches. Heat the oil to 325°F (165°C).
- 4. Cut the bread into 8 slices, each about 1/4 inch thick. Go ahead and make 4 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. (If you are a human, you should know how to do this.) But for this fried version, be sure you don't overload them with too much PB or J. Before closing each sandwich, add a layer of banana chips if you dare.
- 5. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add 1/2 cup milk and vanilla and whisk until a smooth batter forms. If necessary, add more milk to create a dippable consistency.
- 6. When the oil is hot, make sure all the sandwiches are tightly closed. Then, working with 1 sandwich at a time, dip it into the batter and turn it gently to thoroughly coat it. Lift it from the batter and let the excess batter drip back into the bowl. Using tongs to hold the sandwich tightly on 1 end, submerge the sandwich halfway into the hot oil and fry for 15 seconds, then release the sandwich into the oil. It should now float. Fry the sandwich, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side. [Editor's Note: If the sandwich isn't turning golden brown in the suggested time, increase the temperature of the oil to 350°F (177°C).] Using the tongs, transfer the deep-fried PB&J to paper towels or a brown paper bag to drain. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
- 7. Serve the warm sandwiches with the white chocolate ganache, if using, on the side for dipping.

Known for | Media proprietorship, philanthropy |
Net worth | US$8.3 billion (March 2015)[1] |
Spouse(s) | Leslie |

Parent(s) | Daniel L. Malone |
John C. Malone (born March 7, 1941) is a billionaire American business executive, landowner and philanthropist. He served as chief executive officer (CEO) of Tele-Communications Inc. (TCI), a cable and media giant, for twenty-four years from 1973 to 1996. Malone is now chairman of Liberty Media, Liberty Global, and Liberty Interactive. He was interim CEO of Liberty Media, until succeeded by former Oracle CFO Greg Maffei.
Early life and education[edit]
John C. Malone was born on March 7, 1941 in Milford, Connecticut.[2][3] His father was Daniel L. Malone, an engineer.[4] John Malone is of Irish Heritage.[5][6][7]
In 1959, Malone graduated from Hopkins School in New Haven, Connecticut. In 1963, he graduated at Yale University with a BA in electrical engineering and economics, where he was a Phi Beta Kappa and National Merit scholar. In 1964, Malone graduated at Johns Hopkins University with a MS in industrial management. He also received a MS in electrical engineering at an NYU program at Bell Labs in 1965 before receiving his PhD in operations research at Johns Hopkins in 1967.[8]
Business career[edit]
In 1963, Malone began his business career at Bell Telephone Laboratories of AT&T, working in economic planning and research and development. In 1968, he joined McKinsey & Company, and in 1970, became Group Vice President at General Instrument Corporation (GI). He was later named President of Jerrold Electronics, a GI subsidiary. For twenty-four years, from 1973 to 1996, Malone served as President and CEO of Tele-Communications Inc. (TCI).
Malone serves on the Boards of Directors for the Bank of New York Mellon, the Cato Institute, and Expedia.com. Additionally, Malone is Chairman Emeritus of the Board for Cable Television Laboratories, Inc. and Chairman of Liberty Global, Inc., and the DirecTV Group.[8] His rise to Chairman at Liberty Global, Inc., was contentious at times. In 2005, John Malone held 32 percent of the shares in the media concern News Corporation, and although only about half of these shares were voting shares, Rupert Murdoch reportedly had concerns that he might lose the control of his company to Malone, and tried to oust him from the firm with a "poison pill" strategy.[9] He served as Director of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA) from 1974 to 1977 and again from 1980 to 1993. During the 1977–1978 term, Malone was the NCTA's Treasurer.[8]
Land ownership[edit]
He owns Silver Spur Ranches, a ranching and beef company which includes the Silver Spur Ranch in Encampment, Wyoming, Bell Ranch and the TO Ranch in New Mexico as well as ranches in Walden, Colorado and Kiowa, Colorado.[3] As of 1 February 2011[update], he has surpassed Ted Turner as the largest individual private landowner in the US, owning 2,100,000 acres (8,500 km2) of land, most of which is in Maine.[10] His international real estate holdings include Humewood Castle in Ireland.[11]
In 2000, Malone gave $24 million for the construction of Yale's Daniel L. Malone Engineering Center, named in honor of his father.[4] In 2011, Malone gave the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering's largest gift ever of $30 million for a new building on Homewood Campus. The building will be named Malone Hall.[12] In the same year, he gave the Yale School of Engineering & Applied Science's largest gift ever of $50 million.[4] Malone has also given $60 million to Hopkins School to fund the construction of two new buildings, Malone Science Center, named for his father, as well as Heath Commons, named after his favorite Hopkins teacher.
In 2014, Malone and his wife donated $42.5 million to Colorado State University to help create their Institute for Biologic Translational Therapies, which aims to develop stem cell and other treatments for animals and people. Of the donation, $32.5 million will pay for half the construction costs and $10 million will go to operational expenses.[13]
Malone Scholars Program[edit]
In 1997, he established the Malone Family Foundation, which operates the Malone Scholars Program that provides scholarship endowments to select private schools throughout the United States after a rigorous research process of top schools,[14] including Hopkins School, Waynflete School, and thirty-six others as of 2011.[15]
Personal life[edit]
Malone reportedly shuns the limelight and glamorous lifestyle and takes his family vacations alongside long time friend Gary Biskup, in a recreational vehicle.[16][17] However, in business dealings he has been dubbed "Darth Vader", a nickname allegedly given to him by Al Gore when Malone was the head of TCI, where he demanded equity positions in cable programming services in return for carriage, and attempted to defeat the must-carry rules which protected broadcasters, a battle which the cable industry eventually lost in 1997 in the U.S. Supreme Court.[18][19] In 1994, Wired portrayed Malone on their cover as "Mad Max" from The Road Warrior, with an interview describing his battles with the FCC.[20]

Terrific talent. Very responsive to artistic direction and capable of MANY styles. Melynda (aka Nina) is very aware of the subtle inflections of her voice. A talented voice actor and a pleasure to work with. Thanks Nina!
Very professional read: exactly what I was looking for! Quickly recorded and good communication.
When we were auditioning voice talent for a video describing the 100 year history off a local credit union, the onus was to find a voice with the gravitas and believability to paint the picture of life as it was in 1913. Melynda was able to capture that perfectly and was able to do so with a lightning-fast turnaround time. Her email communication was prompt and clear. Our client had a history of meticulousness, but they heard the final V.O. and had zero changes. And so, Melynda's brief exchange with our company went very smoothly and positively. We would certainly use her again for future projects.
A complete pleasure to work with. Professional, efficient and provided high quality audio that was great in our animated commercial. Great work Melynda! :)
Great voice! Gave us several excellent takes to work with.
Melynda is fantastic to work with – within 24 hours of awarding her the job we had our recording. We need her to make a small change to the original recording. Melynda had the update back to us within 1 day. Will use Melynda again.
Very well done - fast and easy to work with. My client was very happy with Melynda's work!
Great response time and very talented voice-over artist, any time a need arises I would check with Melynda if she is available!
Melynda was extremely quick with everything we needed. She has a great voice and pretty much never makes mistakes. We're huge fans and will definitely use her again...probably in 2 days for another project ;)
Melynda has an amazing voice! Almost no coaching needed, her audition was fantastic. She has a great talent for being able to read a spot through in a fluid manner and make it sounds conversational and fun.

Sounded great and did a great job pronouncing difficult words. Very courteous and accommodating of the changes we needed. A pleasure to work with.
Quick and so easy to work with! Would love to work with her again.

"Blunt Force Trauma" by Cavalera Conspiracy to be released in March 2011
"Revolver: A few years ago, you reunited with [your brother and former SEPULTURA bandmate] Igor to form the CAVALERA CONSPIRACY. You two have a new album, "Blunt Force Trauma", coming out in March. Is it as straightforward as the last album? Max: Yeah, it's even more. Marc [Rizzo, guitar] was saying, "Some of this shit sounds like CANNIBAL CORPSE." Igor's playing really good. His playing reminds me of when he was in SEPULTURA, top form. Like in "Arise" or "Beneath the Remains", and he was going super-fast and just killer energy from the drums. We wanted to make shorter songs, so a lot of the songs are a-minute-and-a-half or two-minutes long and kind of feel like "Raining Blood" a little bit when you listen to them, which is also different for us. We had one guest song with Roger [Miret] from AGNOSTIC FRONT. He sings in a song called "Lynch Mob" I think he's probably my favorite vocalist out of the whole New York hardcore era." Songs that are a minute and half that reminisce the old days of "Reign in blood"?...hmmm you don't say Max also responds to Sepultura performing "Arise" in its entirety with a some what "truthful" attack. Revolver: SEPULTURA in their current lineup recently announced they'd be playing the album "Arise" in its entirety. But weren't you the primary writer for SEPULTURA around then? Max: At home I did the same style of writing I do with SOULFLY. I give credit to the guys. Igor came up with a lot of the original beats, like to "Territory". As we got better, he played better. The only musician that didn't improve much at the time was Paulo [Jr., bass]. I think the first album he recorded for was "Roots". Everything else was me and Andreas [Kisser, guitar] doing the bass because he couldn't really play that good. But we were friends, so we were like, "Yeah you can stay in the band, we won't kick you out. When we play, we'll just turn you really down so nobody hears." I really don't know what to say to this other then that I have lost all respect in Paolo Jr. Whether he had good skills on the bass or not, the fact of the matter is the bass lines contributed in the early albums is what made him scene as an "original" member. So You're telling me that he just kicked back and relaxed while max and Andreas where recording and doing all the Bass parts? Fuck that I guess the only Member "Truly" left in the current line up is just Andreas... This really sucks... I don't really see Paolo anymore as part of the band but more along the lines of "that guy that jumped on the bandwagon during the bands success and max's departure"...sad to say But I am looking forward to hearing this new Cavalera Conspiracy album
8/31 - Sleep 10/19 - D.R.I 11/10 - Judas Priest 11/14 - Slayer |
Dude have you seen any of Sep's studio updates? In the first one Paulo never shows up, in the second he's there but his shit keeps breaking down so they don't really get anything done. Andreas gets fuckin mad at the end of that one. Seems bad
Yeah if I had straight hair combed to one side, wore skinny jeans and flannel I'd get all the girls too. But I'm not a pussy. |

i loved the first CC,this will be great. Too bad i didnt catch em on there first tour cause most likely half wouldve been sepultura
5/1-Full Of Hell/The Body 5/20MDF1:Incantation/Disma/Masacre 5/21MDF2: Devourment/Internal Bleeding/Skinless/Mobb Deep |
Not trying to hate b/c I am a Cavalera supporter but I could have sworn he used the same quote "We wanted to make shorter songs, so a lot of the songs are a-minute-and-a-half or two-minutes long and kind of feel like "Raining Blood" a little bit when you listen to them, which is also different for us".
I could have sworn he used that same exact quote when he was hyping up Omen. I didn't exactly care for Omen for the most part. I'm hoping that CC might be a step up from Omen. But the "Raining Blood" comment seems very familar. Maybe it was from reading press for CC, didn't know if anyone else saw this or I'm delusional...or both? |
