With its flexible multifilament construction, Premier Control is categorically more powerful than the polyester monofilaments our playtesters use most often. That said, Brittany was impressed by this string's level of control. She said, "With Premier Control being a multifilament string, it brought me back a couple years to my junior and college days. While these days I mostly use full beds of polyester string (mainly for the control), I was excited to see what this string could offer me. I found I never had to hold back my swing on my groundstrokes and returns, and I was still able to tap into the power potential on aggressive shots and approaches. As expected, there was still more power than control with this string, but I was really impressed with the control."

As with the majority of multifilament strings, Premier Control is not designed for players who prefer the sharp bite and vicious snapback of a stiff polyester monofilament. However, Chris found enough spin to keep the ball inside the lines. He described, "I'd say the level of spin I was getting on my shots with Premier Control was adequate. I wasn't getting quite as much spin as I can get from Tecnifibre Multifeel or Head Velocity MLT, but I did find enough spin to help dip my shots inside the lines."

Although she would have preferred a tad more bite, Brittany ultimately had enough spin to hit the majority of her shots. She explained, "I could create decent levels of spin with Premier Control. On the baseline, I had enough topspin to get my groundstrokes to dip in front of the baseline, which helped with not overhitting. I also had a similar experience on serves. I could tap into my slice and kick serves with a decent amount of spin to get them to bounce away from my opponent. One area where I was looking for a little more spin was on my signature shot — short, angled groundstrokes (both forehand and backhand) — to pull my opponent off the court or have them reaching up at net. I could still hit these shots when I needed to during point play, but I felt I was missing some 'bite' and wasn't able to hit them as sharply."

For our playtesters, the dominant feature of Premier Control was comfort. This allowed Brittany to string it tighter (for extra control) without losing an ounce of comfort. She said, "I bumped my tension to 55 pounds with this multifilament (I normally settle in at 52 pounds for a poly). I am happy to report the string was still comfortable at 55 pounds, and I could even see myself going up to 57 pounds if I wanted. No matter where I hit the ball on the stringbed, I found a comfortable response with no unwelcome vibrations. This is definitely a standout feature of this string."

Chris hit with both colors of Premier Control, noting subtle variations in their feel. However, in the end, he managed to find a groove with both versions. He said, "When I was hitting touch volleys, I really enjoyed the feel of Premier Control. With the clear version of the string, I felt very connected to my shots. The black colorway felt a little more muted, but it didn't alter the pace or control of my shots. When I hit the clear and black versions of Premier Control side by side I noticed a difference in the feel, but my play remained the same. On the plushness scale, I think Premier Control sits pretty much in the middle of multifilament in general; it offers nice comfort without feeling too mushy."

In addition to comfort, Premier Control also excelled in tension maintenance and playability duration. Needless to say, Chris was impressed. He said, "One of the high points of the test for me was how the playability of Premier Control lasted in my racquets. The level of power, control and comfort remained very consistent."

"I logged five-plus hours with each colorway over the course of several weeks, and I thought the overall performance remained consistent throughout the playtest," added Brittany. "After two to three hours of hitting with the natural colorway, I started to see signs of wear. Specifically, the string was starting to fray in the sweetspot area. I fully expected this to have an impact on the playability, but I'm happy to report that it stayed consistent for the rest of the playtest. I didn't break the string either, so I have to say I was impressed! I will also note that I didn't notice any fraying on the black color during the playtest."
