Default Tension recommendation for hybrid

Found a pack of Genesis Black Magic and Prince SynGut and plan to hybrid them in my old BLX Blade98. I hit deep with a full swing and fast RHS and have shots that are relatively spinny but I like to flatten them out a lot. I play pretty aggressive at baseline and attack net whenever I can.

Plan on putting BM in mains and SynGut in cross and currently run full bed of syngut at 55 lbs. Any recommendations for the tensions I should use for my hybrid? I'm looking to hit with a lot more spin and control but also don't want to lose too much power.

That's really subjective, but I'll take a crack at it. I usually go down 10% to get a full poly bed, so that's 49 lb. But for a poly/synth hybrid I would go up one lb. on the poly main. Then I would go up from there three lb. for a synth cross.

For a measure of comfort, go down 2 lb. 48 poly main / 51 synth gut cross. That should get you started.
