Powernick is somewhat of an enigma as it is a very stiff string, but I found it to be not all that durable. Ashaway calls it a “monofilament” string, which is basically a thicker filament core of string with other smaller filaments of string wrapped around it. The result is a stiff string, similar to a poly tennis string, but with a textured surface, which kind of defeats the purpose of a poly string. The 18 gauge string feels better that other Ashaway 17 gauge strings, but for a stiff string, I found it to be not all that durable. Overall, there are definitely better strings out there from Ashaway. To be clear, this is a review of the 18 gauge Powernick, not the 19 gauge powernick.
