Apologies to start a new thread for this, I already found some helpful suggestions in other threads, but wanted to ask a specific question.
I really Head RIP Control, because of its durability (for a multi) and its spin potential, but with one particular racket (BLX PS 95 - more open string pattern) I'm going through a full bed much more quickly than I'd like (and I don't want to keep spending a fortune on restringing after every four matches).
It's the crosses that go every time.
What would you suggest?
- Try RIP Control in the mains, and another in the crosses? But what? Will a syn gut like OG Sheep Micro be more durable? Or would you take a softer poly like Topspin Cyber Blue? Or would that eat through the RIP Control in the mains?
- Or just something like a syn gut in mains & poly in crosses?
- Is full bed Isospeed Control Classic more durable?
Basically, this one racket also gives me some wrist pain, so I wouldn't want to go any stiffer than a full bed RIP Control.
What is important to me is:
- maintains tension (full bed RIP Control is very good in that, unlike any other syn gut or multi I've ever tried)
- soft on wrists/arms
- feel & some spin potential like a multi (RIP Control has some poly-like aspects in that spin-potential regard, I guess)
