Here are my personal opinion on this set of strings.
Good
It is very nice to bend. Usually for strings with 9 gauge, I tend to over-bend them since I'm too accustomed to the normal gauge 10 on my Fernandes. However, I don't seem to have any problem bending on my Squier with this set of strings. It could be me having more control over gauge 9 or could be this set of strings doing magic. The titanium reinforced technology isn't a bluff as well. At least the strings do not break at the ball end (like the Gallistrings did last time).
Bad
I've got very sweaty palms. I could rust a set uncoated strings in 2-3 plays. There are ways to solve this sweaty palms problem like using certain lotion but I can't be bothered to buy it and apply it on my hand every time I am to play guitar. Though I've never used it, 'lotion' implies that they will be sticky feeling.
So what I would look for in a set of coated strings is simply this: long-lasting. This coated Slinky set started rusting after 5 plays of 1.5 hour each round. With one set costing me $15 each, this is definitely not going to work for me. After all, I am just a JC student and not an working adult.
Conclusion
I should stick back to GHS coated Boomers. It is so far the long-lasting strings. Of course, I'm not saying GHS strings has the best feel but what I am looking for in a set of string is how long they can last. They are also the cheapest coated strings I've seen so far.
