hybrid recommendations sought

[john hempel]

i'm going to string my Wilson H Tour 105" mains with Babalot Tonic+ 15L and wonder which would be the best cross string: Toa Gold, Prince Synthetic Gut w/ Duraflex or Wilson Syn Gut? also, would appreciate tension recommendations for both mains and crosses. thanks.

John,
You will see many posts on this with a large group of people including myself that like the combo of Bow Brand gut and Gosen
OG as the cross. The Bow is a $18.00 string at TW and the Gosen is around $5.00 a great value and an exceptional hybrid IMO.
I can't speak to the tension but I do string my crosses a couple of
lbs less in my LM Prestige MP.

Any of the 3 would be fine. The Prince Syn w/Duraflex would last the longest (if you by chance break the crosses first) and the Wilson is probably the least durable. I, too, drop the tension of the crosses 3-5# when using a synthetic in the crosses with gut mains.
