Been looking into soft strings and saw that kirschbaum was offering this string claiming it to be very soft and saw many rave reviews on TW stating such, wondering if anyone on here has used it and what you think of it overall.

I wanna know if its 1) durable 2) has low tension loss 3) what's the power like? 4) touch and feel? ( I'm a doubles player ) and 5) actual softness

In gut/poly, it's pretty kick-ass. It's a very high-performing string for a very long time. Medium softness - not a board, not mushy. It's a must-try, so just get a set and decide for yourself.

In an arm friendly frame with a good amount on power ( 100sq in 16 x 19) would this string be good as a hybrid or as a full bed, and if hybrid what would be a good non gut hybrid to use to add some more control and spin but not add too much power? Was thinking RIP control but don't know how it would work

To add to this comment if also like if it was an even softer string than these but still have good durability ( if a hybrid is the way to go )

Full bed. No Rip/Proline hybrids because it'll break prematurely, but you can do Proline/Rip.

X is stiffer, but you can adjust by dropping tension a few lbs. For 100 sq in, I'd go X.

So do you think a hybrid of RIP in the mains and pro line in the crosses would be good ( especially since I have previous injury to shoulder/elbow ) or would the opposite be better? And I've seen that the X are quite a bit stiffer than the II and makes me want to shy away from them ...

I always go full bed when I used it. Never had any arm issues. Even when I used the 18 gauge I was never able to pop them. Tension loss is about average but the playability for me lasts a long time. It's an overall great string. I would go either 17, 17L or 18 gauge.

RIP mains would shred in 2 hours. Never use multi/poly.

X mains, RIP crosses are fine. String X 2lbs lower than you would II.

Proline II Is great soft string. Proline x is also a very nice string but it plays a little stiffer and does not have as much pop.
