Question RPM Blast or ALU Power ROUGH?

Hey everyone i have lots of power on my shots and i never get to do a full swing because if i do it will mostly go out which one of these 2 strings will give me control on my shots and allowing me to do full swings and give me good tension maintenance (gnna be stringing tension around 52-54lb) and i dont want one that will go dead so quickly and i also want a soft string.

Can you choose whether the RPM Blast or Alu power rough would fit to this first and list other strings as well (if you want)

None of those is a soft string.

But from the 2 I like the Luxilon better, it last a little bit longet for me too.

^^^^ Ok just post strings that have good tension maintenance, comfort, not much powered and that would let me do full swings without letting the ball go out.

Well pretty much any Lux other then 4G has some of the worst tension loss in poly history, so that might limit you a bit on their part! It goes dead within 3-5 hours, at least for me.

Genesis Typhoon is similar to ALU Power Rough but with better tension maintenance. Clearly, Genesis had ALU Rough in mind when developing this string -- down to the 16L gauge, aluminum fibers and grabby texture.

What kind of racquet are you using?

Also, how are your mechanics? Most of the time my shots go out is when I don't do a full swing because I don't follow through...loosing spin.

I'd suggest a straight forward syn gut and practice...practice...practice
