Solinco Revolution/Outlast Hybrid?

[PR60293]

Hey everyone! I recently saw Head release the Lynx Spin2 Poly/Poly hybrid with the main string being shaped and the cross string being round and thought I would try to recreate that with solinco strings since I've never really been a fan of Head strings. I currently use a full bed of Solinco Revolution 17 at 50 lbs in a Yonex Vcore Pro 97 310. I was wondering what your guys' thoughts would be about having Solinco Rev in the mains and Solinco Outlast in the crosses to replicate that snapback and prevent the notching that I experience with a full bed of Rev. Also should I keep both guages equal and/or should I string Outlast in the cross 2-4 pounds tighter than Rev in the mains? Thanks for your input!

Sounds like a good combo, although I would string the Outlast (crosses) 2-4 LOWER than the mains.

Do you think I should use 17 gauge for both the mains and crosses? And what tensions considering I use Rev 17 at 50 lbs currently?

Did you ever end up doing this? Curious how you found it to be.

A friend uses Revolution 16L mains / Weiss Cannon Silverstring 17g crosses and she really likes the setup and she plays well with it. Per above she also has differential with the crosses being lower tension.

Yeah, I'm trying a full bed Revolution 16L right now, at 55/53 in a Vcore 95, and I really like it so far. Nice control and spin from the baseline, and really good touch at the net.

Rev/Out would look so nice in the VC95 you should do it based on that alone

you might want to try the hyper g round for crosses. if they're anything like the normal hyper g, then they will have very good anti notching properties.
