Of my strings available, what would be best for ProStaff 85 - PS85?

LanEvo · 10-12-2012, 10:54 PM

Hey guys, just got one from TW a couple days ago, these are my string choices:

Technifibre NRG 2 17g
Babolat Attraction 17g
OG Micro Super 16g
Wilson Hollow Core 16g
Prince Lightning XX 17g
Dunlop Syn. Gut 16g
Wilson Enduro Tour 17g and 18g
Lux Adrenaline 17g
Lux Adrenaline Rough 17g
Ashway Kevlar 17g
Polylon Ice 16g and 17g
Babolat Duralast 17g
Gensis Heptonic 18g
Wilson Hollow Core Pro 16g

These are what I have available, what do you guys think?

I am around a 4.0 level, 1HBH, play a very flat game, I can hit spin if I need it. But I am pretty much flat all around my game.

Way back in the day when I had a 6.0 85 I had it strung with NRG2 at midrange. It felt underpowered & not enough zip from the string bed, and this was coming from a 90 (not a wilson 90) as my main racket. I think if you could get some gut in there it would play and feel great. I personally would put some power pads in there with any string, IMO it makes the string bed feel springier & more lively.

As you are not a string breaker, you may find the LightningXX17 very interesting.
I use it for racquetball. Great power, not very durable.
