Diadem Sports Solstice Reel

The unique star-shaped profile is designed to grab the ball more effectively upon impact. This increased friction, often called 'ball bite,' helps you generate significantly more spin on your shots compared to a standard round string.

Yes, it is designed with a soft co-poly construction specifically to offer a more comfortable feel than traditional, stiffer polyester strings. It is a great option if you want the performance benefits of a poly string without the harsh impact often associated with them.

Diadem improved the extrusion process for this version, which directly addresses the common issue of tension loss in polyester strings. While all polys lose tension over time, this version holds its tension better than its predecessor for a more consistent feel throughout the life of the string.

Thinner gauges, like 18 (1.15mm), offer more spin and feel but will break faster. Thicker gauges, such as 16 (1.30mm) or 15L (1.35mm), provide better durability and control, making them a better choice if you are a heavy hitter who breaks strings frequently.

While many polyester strings are reserved for advanced players, the soft construction of the Solstice Black makes it accessible for a wider range of skill levels. If you are a beginner looking to add more spin to your game without sacrificing comfort, this is a very approachable choice.
