I´m playing with the 16L love de power, control, spin and durability but i check that the 17 version has this properties compared with 16L
17 16L
Stifness 189 230
Energy Return 83 88
Spin 6.6 5.9

Are those numbers real i mean does anyone feel the diference? also which one last more?

Thanks

I have been using the 17 gauge, but have used a a few sets of 16L a few months back. From what I remember:

The 17 had a bit more power, spin, and was softer.
The 16L was a bit more controlled (predictable response), and lasted longer.

The difference is noticeable, but only if you play with the 2 different strings back to back. Both are great

more power, spin, softer sounds good i think the best is play with both!
Thanks

I prefer the 17. I also played with the 18 gauge. Excellent for the first 3 weeks..after that it went dead. I strung it at 45 lbs.
