If I'm able to get some I'll send you a sample and see what you think!

I did contact a tennis racket manufacturer to see if they can develop a mono with spectra or kevlar line filaments in the mono. I couldn't seem to get them interested but I am sure there is something there. If you do manage some of that PEEK line send me a sample. I am planning a big test of many different lines (mono, cable and spectra) to see how strong they are and how they affect accuracy and shaft performance.
