Holy grail string for Diadem Elevate Tour

[OldManStan]

Strung my Diadem Elevate Tour (stock) today with Gosen AK PRO CX 17g at 50lbs and holy cow did it feel good for only $9.

Effortless power and pace. Launch angle was low to medium compared to spinny strings like Ultra Cable, which I did not mind at all. There is string movement within the stringbed after heavy topspin shots, which is expected considering how slippery the string is. Super easy to string up. Next time, I would definitely string it 2-3lbs higher to help with control the power. Would give this a try if you want a multifilament/natural gut alternative.

I have never tried any of the Diadem strings, but it appears to me that most of their strings, according to the reviews read on here, seem to have an above average power compared to most of the string out there. Is it really true?
Now i want to test a few of them!

I’ve tested all of their strings, I would say that most of their strings are softer than the average (exception being Solstice Power). Power wise I would say average. Tension maintenance above average in my opinion. Worth a try.

Do they have a good round poly?

Mostly because most here are from US. In Europe nobody talk about this brand. Maybe it will change. Maybe it should change i dont know.

Right, it could be. I also think that in Europe they might have less choices in general and once the find the string they like they actually stick with it! It's a wise choice and saves a lot of headaches and money!!!

Hard to say. In the past Europe were having some sticks unavailabe in US. I dont remember the models. I am from Europe and look at me.... well Maybe i have something with my head as i was born in Chicago

Going off of memory, their Diadem Flash is average for a round poly. String is oriented more for flat hitters and volleyers. Not a bad string, but on the pricier side of what I would like to pay.

Thanks!
Probably the shaped ones are Diadem better strings!

Pro X is not the most aggressively shaped Diadem string but my kid has settled into Pro X 16L crossed with whatver natural gut is most inexpensive at the time (usually Klip). He believes he gets adequate spin and power out of that in his Elevate Tours but much more durability than the more aggressively shaped Diadem strings (snaps in a few days rather than a few hours). Moral victory.
