To me it offers particularly good feel/ touch in the forecourt, which is pretty rare for polyester strings. Predictable and arm friendly.
Incredible value.

Looking for feedback on Yonex Polys, namely Fire vs Pro vs Strike.
Topspin Cyber Flash is your favorite poly when price is consider and upgrade is Tour Bite Soft. What is your best choice including hybrids?

What would be your choice if Price wasn't a issue ?? I have been using RPM blast again, and it is very powerful poly and in full bed, it generates almost as much spin as tour bite.

My favorite hybrid for clobbering the ball on ground strokes is Cyber Flash 1.25/Gutex Ultra 1.30 @48/53 in my MW racquet in my signature. I have trouble with accuracy for serves with this setup. It's very plush. I've been trying some other hybrids and CF/Kirsch SG gives me more control on serves and is still nice for strokes. The BF/GU setup in my Biomimetic racquet in my signature is very nice too, but it has a more connected feel than CF/GU and a little more connected than CF/Kirsch SG.
I strung a Klip Legend 17/Black Mamba 1.23 bed @57/52 in my Biomimetic 200 a couple of days ago. I won't get to hit with it for at least another 2 months, but it feels comfortable and crisp with great control and consistency. Damn you Winter!
I also like Head Lynx 17 full bed in my Biomimetic 200 @50. Not so much on the MW racquet. And I'll be trying Kirsch SG 1.25/Red Devil 1.19 @54/50 in the Biomimetic as well. It would help me if the inexpensive strings played as well as the others do. I'm not as concerned about longevity for cheap strings.

Hi Mareqnyc, I would like to ask for your recommendation please. I'm looking for a string that has great spin potential and very crisp feel to "de-mute" my Wilson Clash. The 2nd priority is playability duration. Comfort and power is not really a concern. What would you think is/are a good fit? Thanks!
edit: I'm looking at Ytex Square and Solinco Revolution now but more options are always welcomed.

hey I'm very interested in the TC97 line but I'm worried I may get something that I won't like since I can't really demo it in the states. Do you mind sharing if TC97 plays similar to a Pure Strike or Pro Staff. Those were the racquets I owned before. Also, I don't know if I should get 16x19 or 18x20. People were saying 16x19 has a dead spot and I'm worried 18x20 may be too low powered. I haven't played with a 18x20 pattern before.

I’m not topspn, but I’ll chime in, as TC97 is my frame of choice I also play with ProStaff and tried Pure Strike. So TC97 is playing different. It’s definitely less powered and more control oriented for me. Also requires better technique to generate heavy topspin or slices. There’s no dead spot in mine which is 2019 V3. In terms of string pattern it’s better to buy the one you used to playing and prefer. Hope it helps.

I’m afraid it is not similar. Depending on the specs you pick TC97 will bring a heavier ball with more weight which is normal for any racquet but it inherently has less power than both frames you mentioned. It is also very different in its flex which has more in the head. PS also gives that big heavy spin which is not in the TC97 wheelhouse at least to that extent. The dead spot is easily treatable though with a gram of weight @12.
I'm planning to go with the one with a listed weight of 300g, I assume the 300g includes the weight of the replacement grip? I can add lead to work it upwards if needed. I am playing with a 305g (unstrung) Pure Strike.
Yea I actually prefer the 16x19 pattern. What pattern is yours and how do you like it?
OlgaOM

16x19 as well works better for me. If you really like your Pure Strike, though, you have to be ready to a completely different feel when buying TC97

Yes, specs include everything but unstrung. However you should ask yourself what you're unhappy with in PS that you believe TC97 provides.
