just stick with the big ace... they are great strings. i tend to like stiffer strings so i use cyberflash. if you want to try another soft poly try the signum

Agreed. Big Ace is a great poly. It's nice,crisp, and offers more feel than other polys.

Topspin Cyberflash 17G has my vote. Several tournament players I string for even switched from Alu Big Banger to the Cyberflash 17G.

I personally use two polys from Topspin, Cyberflash 18G & Polypolar 17G (discontinued). Polypolar is softer but now it is becoming very difficult to find.

Very similar, but not the same. Scorpion offers slightly more power and holds properties longer.

They are similar like Stan said. I find the opposite though. Big Ace maintains tension longer and is a little more powerful. Well everyone is different....

My readings...ERT 300.

Big Ace (red) @ 58 pounds = 42 DT
After 24 hours DT = 37 (12% loss)
After 2 matches (5 days) DT = 34 (19% tension loss)
After 4 matches (12 days) DT = 33 (21% tension loss)

Scoripion @ 60 lbs = 42 DT
After 24 hrs DT = 39 (7% tension loss)
After 3 matches (8 days) DT = 37 (12% tension loss)
After 6 matches (24 days) DT = 35 (17% tension loss)

I don't know your readings... all I know is my feeling about the string and that USRSA reported that Big Ace is top 5 in tension maintenance ... and polys normally are not the best for tension maintenance -especially in the beginning.

Scorpion to me felt springy/loose after around 5-7 hours.

how are the:

Weisscannon silverstring and scorpion strings?
- soft, powerful, retains tension and playability well

Babolat ballistic polymono?

Topspin cyberflash?
- stiff (which I prefer), decent tension maintenance.

signum pro poly plasma strings?
- excellent tension maintenance, fairly soft, ok power

please help if u can, but give as much info for the strings as u can!
