Msv Co-focus & Focus Evo???

[lawlitssoo1n]

has anyone tried the two strings? and how are they in terms of softness, power, control and feel

[lawlitssoo1n]

nobody try these?

Dude, I'm actually going to get a few sets of these to try. I used Hex again, but with Spiral Flex crosses. Holy crap, amazing. Those are definitely going to be my new crosses. Because of that, I'm definitely not going to get Red Code. W/the Spiral Flex cross, Hex outperforms Red Code by far.

EDIT: Ok, so I just ordered Concept Pure, Co-Focus, Focus Evo, and Hex 1.10 from...you know where. I'm going to cross it with Spiral Flex on all of em (just ordered a reel of that). So yea

dude let me know how co-focus and evo plays man cuz im thinking of using msv hex 1.10 but i have 1.23 crosses(concept pure) and they don't go thinner than that. so i might have to switch my crosses to co-focus or evo...but we'll see after i try it :D

I haven't tried the co-focus, but I've use the Focus Hex and Focus Evo as full beds in a PS6.0 95. Both were strung at 52lbs. I liked the Hex, but I think I may have found a keeper in the Evo. For me it felt very soft for a poly, had decent power, and good overall control and feel. The softness is key for me since I tend to get elbow pain when I string tighter, even with multis or synthetic gut...poly is the only stuff I can use at tension that low and stilll have a chance of keeping the ball in the court.

The Hex felt a tad stiffer to me, and I seem to get better pocketing with the Evo. I've played about 12 sets on it and the tension has dropped a bit, but it still has good playability. The strings do move as others have observed, but that doesn't bother me so much. Plus, it's really easy to string for a poly.

[Infl8edEg0]

Hey, did u get my email? And I should be getting the stuff tomorrow, so I'll post what I think about them here. I'll try to compare with Concept Pure since I ordered a pack of that too.

still yet to try msv 1.10 i didn't get it yet form the mail or maybe its in the managers office...im going to hybrid with concept pure and hten try full

Ok, so I just strung up my KBT's with Focus EVO and Co-Focus, both with Spiral Flex as the cross, 48/51. I don't think I'll be able to play with em today because I have to study for a final, but tomorrow I'll try them out.

btw, the dark blue Co-Focus crossed with Spiral Flex looks epic on my KBT's.

what guage did u use for the evo?

I used the 17 gauge (1.25), but I'm going to try the 17L (1.20) to see if I can get a bit more spin and pop

[Infl8edEg0]

Ok, I decided to take a break and go out to play anyway.

Co-Focus 1.20: Less power than Focus-Evo. I liked it better tho, it seemed to have more control. It was also pretty soft, I'd say softer than Hex 1.23, but stiffer than Evo. It was easier to generate spin with this than Focus-Evo. Nowhere near Hex though. I think if I dropped a pound, it would be perfect.

Focus-Evo: More power. I liked it better initially, but then idk, I just decided I liked Co-Focus better. This one was way softer, and a little harder to produce spin.

Both these strings probably will play better tomorrow, since they will have been broken in by then. They both had that feeling of not being broken in. I'll probably end up getting the Co-Focus tho, and the color is really helping me get that. If I were you, I'd get Focus-Evo, since it will be the cross. Have you considered Big Ace Micro as the cross? It's even closer at 1.15.

This is my 10th post saying how much I like MSV HEX 17, but it bites the ball well and gives me a good amount of spin!

Here is my all red set up: MG Prestige (M) X-1 58lbs (C) MSV HEX 52.2 lbs

Ah geez, it's been awhile since I played with these. I ended up liking Topspin Concept Pure better than any of the three, but I remember I liked Co-Focus much better...Focus-Evo just felt dead to me. I liked Hex 1.10 the best though, but the somewhat "plasticy" feeling ruined it for me. It wasn't evident a whole bunch, but enough so that I didn't want to use it. I don't really remember any details, sorry.

[Jack & Coke]

thanks... :)

Gotta agree with some of the comments about Focus evo. It just felt like a really cheap synthetic gut to me (although it's a Poly). Access to spin was poor, no real pop, power or ball bite for me either.
