Polyfibre Black Venom 200m Reel

POLYFIBRE BLACK VENOM

Polyfibre Black Venom is a soft, vibration-damping co-polyester for baseliners who want comfort and feel rather than aggressive spin. Long dwell time and strong shock absorption make it one of Polyfibre's more arm-friendly polys. It comes in black, with a textured Rough version.

It is the comfort-and-feel poly in the range alongside TCS — a touch firmer and more muted, with excellent vibration damping.

On-Court Performance

The stringbed is soft with a long, damped pocket that swallows shock and vibration.

Control is solid and the trajectory moderate; the Rough version adds noticeable topspin grip.

Power is low and tension slides at the normal rate, so it plays best fresh.

Who Should Use It

• Baseliners who want a comfortable, damped control poly

• Poly users with arm sensitivity

• Players who found other polys too harsh or buzzy

• Hybrid users wanting a soft, quiet poly component

• Players who value feel over spin (or choose Rough for both)

Who Should Not Use It

• Advanced players who want a firm, ultra-precise bed

• Heavy topspin players who need maximum bite

• Players with serious arm injuries who need a true soft string

• Players who want free depth

Hybrid Setups & Performance Adjustments

Power
String low, or pair with a multifilament in the mains, for depth.

Control
A full bed at mid-to-high tension keeps the launch low.

Spin
Choose the Rough version, or pair with a shaped poly, for more bite.

Comfort
One of the more damped polys — drop 1–2 kg for maximum relief.

Tension Stability
Normal co-poly slide — restring every 15–20 hours.

Durability
Use a thicker gauge if you break it quickly.
