Tru Pro Pure Rush is a six-sided performance poly designed as a budget-friendly all-rounder. It aims to blend good spin, control, and durability without major trade-offs — an attractive offering if you want tour-level feel at entry-friendly pricing.
Below is my full on-court take, plus indicative scores (since official public lab data isn’t published for this).
Quick verdict
Tru Pro Pure Rush delivers a clean, connected response with excellent control and reliable spin. It’s firm enough for confident hitters yet comfortable enough for regular play, striking a great balance between bite, precision, and consistency. A dependable option for players who value stability and controlled aggression from their poly setup.
What the numbers and lab tests say
Note: Tru Pro Pure Rush doesn’t publish public lab measurements for Tru Pro. The scores below are indicative based on playtests, spec, and comparisons with similar shaped co-polys.
| Attribute | Score (%) | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Power | 82% | Moderate launch, good depth without extreme “pop”. |
| Resilience Peak | 70% | Decent rebound feel; not ultra-snappy. |
| Elasticity | 58% | Firmer stringbed with limited stretch. |
| Spin | 86% | Strong bite and rotation from six-sided shape. |
| Control | 88% | Above-average precision and reliable stringbed feedback. |
| Tension Holding | 80% | Better than many budget polys; some drop after 1-2h then stable. |
| Stability | 78% | Good structural integrity across sessions. |
| Comfort | 72% | More forgiving than firm tour poly; still a firm feel. |
How it plays (feel, spin, power, control)
On court Tru Pro Pure Rush delivers a firm but not harsh feel — the six-sided profile offers tangible “bite” on the ball, yet the string remains connected and predictable. Spin access is strong for the price-point, though not quite at the extremes of dedicated spin specialists.
Power is moderate — you’ll get depth under swing but it won’t launch like a plush soft poly.
Control is a standout: the stringbed feels accurate and responsive, giving good directional feedback without excessive deadness. Overall it presents as a balanced performance poly that suits players who demand reliability across the board rather than excelling only in one area.
Durability & tension maintenance

In testing Tru Pro Pure Rush held up notably well for a shaped budget poly. While a drop in tension was recorded after the first hour or two, the feel after break-in remained consistent rather than sharply degrading. Not quite top-tier for tension-holding, but above average in its class. For durability, the six-sided edges appear to resist fraying better than many entry-polys — another plus for value-conscious players.

Who it suits
Best For:
- Intermediate to advanced players looking for a budget performance poly that covers multiple bases.
- Racquets with moderate to higher power where you want a firmer, accurate stringbed.
- Players who restrict arm issues but still want poly performance (less soft than the plushest multis, but more forgiving than many firm tour polys).
Not For:
- Beginners or casual hitters who want easy power and a plush, trampoline-like feel.
- Players who hit flat with low racquet-head speed and prefer a higher launch angle.
- Anyone highly arm-sensitive seeking maximum softness and comfort-first feedback.
Best suited racquets
Great performance with racquets that have moderate to high power or open patterns — the Pure Rush gives you precision, bite and feel that can tame the launch while still providing spin.
| Racquet | Why it Works | Recommended Tension |
|---|---|---|
| Babolat Pure Aero 98/100 | Open spin-friendly pattern benefits from the Pure Rush’s bite and control to manage launch. | 22-24 kg (48-53 lbs) |
| Yonex VCORE 98 | Mid-powered frame where the string adds precision and controlled spin. | 21-23 kg (46-51 lbs) |
| Wilson Blade 98 (16×19) | Control-oriented frame – the Pure Rush gives added bite and accuracy without sacrificing touch. | 23-25 kg (50-55 lbs) |
Comparable strings
Players considering Tru Pro Pure Rush might also look at:
- Mayami Tour Hex 1.23 — slightly firmer, more spin-biased.
- Grapplesnake Tour Sniper 1.25 — sharper edge profile, more attack-oriented.
- Luxilon ALU Power 1.25 — premium tour poly, similar control focus, higher cost and tension-holding.
Practible recommendations
Tension: Start around 22–23 kg (48–51 lbs) in most 98–100 in² frames. Drop to 21 kg for added pocketing and feel, or raise toward 24 kg for a lower launch and firmer response.
Gauge: 1.23 mm offers the best balance of control, spin, and durability. Heavy hitters can explore 1.28 mm for extra stability and tension hold.
Hybrids: Performs well as a main string with a softer cross (like Genesis New or Nordicdots CS125) to enhance comfort.
Restringing: Expect 10–14 hours of consistent play before performance drop-off. Frequent hitters should restring more often to maintain optimal feel and precision.
