Default Best hybrid or synthetic gut that feels like RPM Blast?

So RPM Blast has been giving me tennis elbow lately, any strings you recommend that feels like it but isn't poly?

I use the APDGT 2012

RPM Blast 16 has a stiffness rating of 232 (TWU String Database.) I would look at any string that has a stiffness rating starting at about <200 or <210. Some of the thinner gauge polys are in this range and a lot of the stiffer syn guts are there too. 2 cents.

Luxilon ALU Power is great. Very comfortable. Also you might want to try a lower tension
