225 Green String (Set) / 305Green String ( Set )Product Rating: 5 stars
Durability:
Pros: Great playability untill it (almost) breaks
Cons: Hard hitters may need to restring more often
The Bottom Line: Hard hitters need access to a good racquet stringer. This would be a good string for those with squash/tennis elbow.

Technifibre 225 SPL 18g Squash String
This is a great multifilament string that is used widely by professional and college-level players. Ashaway is probably the next most popular string brand, however Ashaway's Supernick strings are a little too 'bouncy' for me, like the racquet is much stiffer than the strings. Ashaway Powernick 18/red is a little too stiff and unforgiving. The Tecnifibre has a good solid feel and are considered a little 'softer' to play with.
Playability:
I'm about a 4.5 or 5.0 squash player, so I don't consistently hit quite as hard as college/pro
players, but can hit fairly hard. What I like about Tecnifibre strings are that they play well until they break or almost break. It's easy to tell when they'll break because as the multifilaments get worn, the string frays, and when it starts to look like there's more fray there than string, it's about had it. This is much different than nylon and other synthetic gut strings that have about 30 hours of hitting time, however they can lose playability just sitting under tension in the racquet. This is why I cut out factory strings whenever I get a new racquet---you just don't know how long the strings have been in there.
Durability:
Update: I have started using the 18-gauge string instead of the 17-gauge Tecnifibre305. I find the playability to be noticably better and worth the loss in durability. You can generate more power with a fast swing, and have better touch with slow swings. The 305 lasts me about 4 months, or about 75 hours of playing. The thinner 18-gauge string will not last as long once it starts to fray. If you're not a hard hitter, the 18-gauge string may last you forever, and the thinner string should be easier on your elbow since it has more elasticity than the 17-gauge string.
String tension:
I would suggest stringing the 225 a few pounds lighter than the 305. If you were to string at the same tension, the 225 will feel much stiffer or boardier, but some people like that feel. The strings will hold their tension well over the lifetime of the string. String tension will drop slowly with use, but not nearly as much as with nylon strings. I like 17-gauge strings in the 24-27 lb. range. I would suggest the thinner 18-gauge be strung around 20-22 lbs. Note that this is on a constant-pull machine. A crank-type stringer may need to be string 4-6 lbs. higher to get the same tension as a dropweight or electronic tensioner. This tension difference is enough to feel and will make you question your stringer if you don't know how it was strung. It may take a couple stringings to find the stringer and tension that go well together.
Stringing: Tecnifibre recommends *pre-stretching before stringing. This reduces the amount of tension loss on the racquet, if done correctly. I usually pull about 5lbs. higher than the stringing tension, for 30 seconds.
