I guess I don't get it! Don't you guys think that the PSTGT has already enough power on it's own? so why using gut and poly and not going for full poly bed?
I like the racquet a lot but the too much power sometimes it's difficult to control, at least in certain situation. It's making me thinking to switch racquet. Right now I'm trying a Head microgel prestige mp and pro and I find then very close to the way the play to the PSTGT but with much less power.
Like I said, it has the right(for me ofc) power level using gut/poly 58/54.
Also, I dont think the MG Prestige Pro has "much less power" than the PSTGT, to me its about the same. Yes , the Prestige MP is less powerful, but I just love the combination of open string pattern and heavy weight. The massive spin keeps the ball in.

I'm just trying to understand what an why people set the racquet with hybrid strings. I love the racquet but I haven't found my string yet.
However the swing weight of the MPMP is 320 and the PRO is 318, which are a lot less than the PSTGT 333
I've played for about a week with a youtek prestige pro vs pure storm gt tour and we have exactly the same thought.I don't think SW is the only issue at play here. The PSTGT SW is 333 yet it is so easy to whip the racquet but I had more problems swinging the Prestige line which have lower SW than the PSTGT. I guess other factors play a part in this but not sure what they are since weight is also a non issue for me. I know I have way more racquet speed swinging the PSTGT than I do swinging the Prestige racquets.
