Kirschbaum Pro Line II - The Best Poly? - Page 4

fgs · 04-06-2010, 10:49 PM

i have played the plII and enjoyed it very much. i played it as a hybrid with wilson sensation and isospeed professional in the crosses, 23/22 kg on my heavily modded nblade's 106.
i had no problem with the spin. tension maintenanca is better with the kirschbaum competition (this being mainly the reason why i settled for a while with this one) as also a tad better in the control department. all in all, the pro line II is a very good string, worth every cent in my opinion.
i'm soon getting some helix demos, but for the time being i haven't found a string that suits me better than the competition 1.20 / iso professionall 1.20 hybrid.

If you have hit with Pro Line II and have found another Poly that is better, please tell me which string you prefer and why.

I am currently playing Pro Line II 1.25 - I think it's the perfect poly

According to this link (http://www.racquetsportsindustry.com...ctor_2010.html), Tecnifibre Promix 17 (1.25) has 199/13 (stiffness/tension loss) while Kirschbaum Pro Line No.2 1.15 has 224/19.

I think Babolat RPM blast just may beat this string...

You think......have you tested RPM Blast yet ?

I have 2 sets of RPM Blast 1.25 coming tomorrow. Will test the first set RPM Blast 1.25 in one of my BLX 6.1 and in one of my Pure Storm Tour GT racquets with RPM Blast 1.25 mains and VS 17 crosses.....and the other set of RPM Blast 1.25 set in the mains and X-One 1.24 in the crosses and see how well this stuff plays.

If it's any good, I'll buy a 660 feet/200 meter reel of it and be happy. If it's cr#ap, well then I'll be happy I only bought 2 sets of it.....HA....HA....HA

Thanks,

haha good luck trying it. Even if it is a bit beter ill stick to the proline 2 way cheaper, and better for the value.

coyfish · 04-22-2010, 10:09 AM

This is a good string but I prefer Unique Big hitter. Its just so soft and retains all the control and spin I need.

David123 · 04-22-2010, 10:10 AM

How much is a set of big hiter?

coyfish · 04-22-2010, 10:52 AM

Its very cheap. 6.95 I think. TW sells it. Its a string every poly user needs to try.

While I do not know what the final numbers will be yet from the USRSA, I can tell you that RPM Blast loses tension really fast. Don't know if it will be worth it in the long run; we will find out though.

Cheers, TennezSport

PL2 is a lovely poly.

Skabeast121 · 04-22-2010, 07:48 PM

I really regret buying this string. This thing gets not spin what so ever and was way to high powered. It was soft and mushy, more so than cyber blue what i am using currently. It is pretty much a worse version of tecnifibre pro code red imo.

fgs · 04-22-2010, 08:57 PM

skabeast 121,
there are only two similarities between tf pro red code and kb pro line II: first they are mainly used for playing tennis and second they are red. they do really play quite a lot different.

Skabeast121 · 04-23-2010, 10:42 AM

Idk to me they are similar. Both are high powered, and don't provide that great of bite. The difference between them is how they feel, pro code red is stiff where as pro line II is softer.

fgs · 04-23-2010, 11:20 AM

skabeast121,
seems like we have a slightly different understanding of the term of "power" (i'm not a native speaker!). if the red code is a high powered string in your perception, may i ask then what would be a low powered one?
i completely agree that one is stiff and the other one is much softer.

04-23-2010, 12:17 PM

red code is low powered and stiff. my understanding is PL2 is higher powered and soft....

David123 · 04-23-2010, 12:18 PM

yeah redcode is pretty low powered lol.
