sorry to ask those questions since they are valid and important to your findings, since we all know that these frames are very very string/tension sensitive,

thanks
ive had it for about a week... ive got 3 currently.. had one with sonic pro, one with signum hyperion, and one with a luxilon prototype....

i string full poly, at 60 pounds - similar to what i have with prestiges in the past. The luxilon lost a bit of tension and I feel I am liking it a bit more at just a tad less poundage. It feels extremely comfortable though at 60.. I think anywhere from 57-63 would be very solid on this one.

How is the grip shape compared to the microgel?

Kal, I've got a set of the new Lux as well. If I usually string it at 56/54, would you rec keeping the tension the same or maybe dropping it 2 lbs?

Are you guys talking about the Wilson/Lux playtest string? I have a set too and was trying to figure out how to string it. If so, is it better to go full bed or hybrid on this one? It looks like Kal-El went full bed. Also, thanks, it's helpful to know to keep it at the same tension.
