Explosiv!
Siegfried Weiss the owner and lead researcher of WeissCANNON is at it again. Not satisfied with creating the top performing poly-based strings in existence, he has used his knowledge, experience and advanced engineering degree to create a new premium multifilament string that clearly has the potential to change the landscape for premium synthetic strings.

The newest offering from WeissCANNON is poised to set a new precedent for multifilament string performance. There is really only one word to describe this string, FANTASTICAL! We have created this one-of-a-kind adjective especially for this one-of-a-kind string. (It is both Fantastic and Magical, thus FANTASTICAL!)
This premium string will literally blow the socks off both you and your opponents. The incredible comfort is just one of many impressive features. Users will find a feathery touch at net and an unmistakably unique feel from all areas of the court. Power on demand with excellent control. German playtesters have raved that this string outperforms all others, including natural gut.
CONSTRUCTION: The core of this premium multi is comprised of over 1200 ultra thin, high-elastic twisted fibers. The special resin coating is unique and new. It is a proprietary mixture consisting of molybden, resins, and other nano additives. Not polyurethane based like many others currently on the market.
ADVANTAGE: A multifilament string that offers premium performance from all areas of the court and holds its playing properties well beyond any reasonable expectation. Excellent durability and minimal string movement.
GAUGES: 16 ga, 1.30mm only
(Note: Because of the high elasticity of this string, the actual performance is what one would expect from a 17ga string.)
COLOR: Butter
LENGTHS: 40' sets & 660' reels
COMMENTS: Because of the comfort and ability to hold playing properties for an extended period of time, this string is an excellent option from those prone to tennis elbow or those who use lighter weight racquets and are looking to prevent arm pain. For those seeking a string that will offer playability that has been described as superior to natural gut, this is a lower-cost option to consider. The manufacturer recommends that this string be strung at 10% higher than normal. Testers report the string is lower powered at higher tensions, but also performs great at low tensions as well. The color is no coincidence as this string plays buttery soft.
TENSION: Using an ERT 700 we took the following tension measurements of the Explosiv! in a Kneissl Black Star which also collected on court playing time during the measurement period. For comparison purposes, please note that many current multifilament strings routinely lose 10 - 16% tension within the first 24 hours and much more after that period.

| Initial measurement |
DT = 45 (Taken immediately after stringing) |
| Overnight |
DT = 43 (4 - 5% initial loss) |
| 4 Days + 3.5 hours of play |
DT = 42 (6 - 7% tension loss) |
| 14 Days + 8 hours of play |
DT = 41 (8 - 9% tension loss) |
| 31 Days + 18 hours of play |
DT = 39 (13% - 14% tension loss) |
USER FEEDBACK:
"Without question the best multifilament that I have ever hit. Gut-like in performance. My new favorite string!" - Gerard R.
