Haha, no same tennis partner, maybe I was playing worse! But it felt a little mushy to me (which why I'm wondering if it was my stringing job). It didn't have the pop/power I enjoy from a multi, but I did enjoy its comfort. I couldn't control its launch angle, had trouble keeping balls down.
Haha, I couldn't get it to sit down and I'm a relatively flat hitter. I'm still finding my string vocabulary, maybe mushy is what I'm referring to. I did, great list , I picked up a few other multis so might try them first before I try out the infamous v/c.You launched Velocity? I need a video ... at least a pic of your biceps.
The only way to make Velocity mushy would be boiling it. I am assuming mushy and deadish are two different things. I labeled Velocity as "a cr@ppy trampoline". No pop ... popless. I haven't played enough multis to give pop referencs, but most mention tf X1 Biophase as max pop. Did you read Mikeler's multi thread?

If I ever try Origin again in my V1s ... my first try would be o/v 58/52. Origin is priced to high imo ... but as a hybrid only a $5+ adder as long as I got my 20 hours I get from fb v.
Interesting reviews on the Origin string! A little on the pricey side, might have to add it to my list. No HDX yet, but it's in the checkout cart for the next purchase!If you are a flatter hitter, and not a string breaker try fb Origin 3-5lbs over mid-tension. There will be pop.
Didn’t you order tf hdx tour? If so, will be interested in your impression.

The first post was just an index, not a ranking. That said, if you read his review of NXT, it wouldn't have made it as high as 19.
FYI ... second post had some rankings by category.
Oh good to know, I figured it was his ranking!The first post was just an index, not a ranking. That said, if you read his review of NXT, it wouldn't have made it as high as 19.

his thread was a great reference for me. I tried PPC because of his (and others) positive comments. It's the only multi I hit lower powered than Velocity. I probably would have played all summer with PPC if Holliman didn't create the Velocity thread. It's a good nylon control option ... just not as good as Velocity for me.Good info and input. TY!
racquet... was thinking @55. Maybe I love fb ... maybe hdx/v a possible. I have V left.
I seem to have a few sets of strings that I'd like to experiment with. But not really finding the time or opportunity. I have a pack of RIP Control that I was supposed to try hybriding with Cream. But it's sitting there now...waiting...waiting...
Winter wonderland here. 5+ inches of snow and Charleston, SC is closed for business.
We will slowly thaw out by the weekend and back to 68 for Monday
Yeah ... the poly part is why I haven't tried it before now. Scotus had elbow issues, and it worked for him as fb. I've read a lot of posts, and tw review and comments and found very little arm issue comments. There are some of us post TE that feel the poly in Cream. I will be a good test case fb hdx tour @55. If I have no problem, then it's probably more arm friendly then Cream. I don't think Cream would ever hurt anyone that didn't have TE before. I also think I could probably continue to play v/c ... but for now for me "first twinge and I'm out". I will play 30# gut if that was what is required to play twinge free.
How's the roads? We will be back to 40s ... even 50s by weekend.
You beat me to it, was just typing the same question out!
