What's your favorite soft CoPoly ?

No BAM or Big Ace?? What about Cyber blue??
Those would be my two favs for soft copolys. What I love about them is they are both very soft, but are at the opposite ends of the power spectrum with Blue being quite powerful and Big Ace having much much less power.
Although, Genesis Typhoon is pretty comfy. I'm not sure that I consider it soft, but is very easy on my arm.

Favourite? Favourite for what? Spin? Control? Power? Comfort? Price/Performance?
Pro Line II 1.20 is the poly I keep on going back to because it has such an even combination of performance characteristcs across all areas - the only downside being mediocre tension maintenance.
I like BlackCode for its comfort and tension maintenance but it doesn't have the same performance characteristics as Pro Line II.

Just your overall favorite soft copoly.
Is it so dificult to give a short list of reasons why you like just that soft copol - just like you do in your post
I'm also a huge fan of Pro Line II Black in 1.15 gauge, but as you say it has a tension shortage problem. So my favorite soft main copoly is BlackCode 1.18 and my favorite soft cross copoly (for hybrids) is Silverstring 1.20.
Blackcode does feel at bit plastic like, just like some say, but I like its soft feel, its combination of power and control and it has decent tension maintenance too. It does move more than the average copoly, so I actually found that I prefer a poly-poly hybrid (don't laugh) of Blackcode 18 mains and Silverstring 1.20 crosses. I get an almost Pro Line II feel from this hybrid, little to no string movement, nice soft feel, very good tension retention for a CoPoly and it feels great even at very low tension like i.e. 38 lbs.

I'm diggin' Cyber Flash as it seems to be the perfect string right now.

I am also testing soft co-poly's as a cross string with multi in the mains.
-Black Code feels great but I am worried about this "edged" string biting into my multi.
-BAM is pretty good (I have 5 sets F/S)
-Pacific Poly Power Pro is one I am currently trying. Nice soft feel and good power
I bought some Hyperion and will be testing that next. I wish they would make a round Black Code.
Can't wait to try Babolat Hurricane Feel. Polyfibre TCS is another soft co-poly that gets little mention.

Here is a report from the new TWU String Database tool (http://twu.tennis-warehouse.com/learning_center/reporter.php) for the strings in the poll:
These results were for high reference tension and fast swing but you can choose whatever you want from the report maker (or any other parameters also).

Clubho......why did u stop using Hyperion in your hybrids? You used to praise that string so much???
Also, how does Silverstring in the crosses (with a gut/multi mains) compare to Hyperion? Which is softer? Which is more powerful?
And........does anyone know how Silverstring compares to Scorpion?

Hyperion is still one of my favorite strings.
I just felt like returingn to Alu Power as my favorite cross string in nat gut hybrids.
Silverstring is my second best after Alu Power.
My favorite mains poly is BlackCode these days.
Ask me in half a year and I may have new POI's
