For the last few years, the preferred string setup in my Head Youtek Graphene Speed Pro was VS Gut in the mains and RPM Blast in the crosses. I love the feel and the power that this combo gives. Unfortunately, it goes dead really fast. Expensive endeavor.
Earliest this week, my stringer recommended that I try a full bed of Babolat Origin 17 instead. I had him string it up and I took it out last night for a hit. At first, the launch of the ball was unpredictable and it took about an hour or so for the string to settle evenly. But after that, what an incredible string. Fantastic feel and pocketing. It is less powerful than the VS/RPM combo, but not so much that it bothers me. You really can swing out with this string. From what I understand, unless you are a real string breaker, this string will last literally 3 or 4 months without going dead. It is a monofilament that isn't a poly, but behaves like a really nice multi-filament.
I have always been a fan of Gosen OG Sheep Micro and I actually think this string feels better.
Anyways, I thought I'd give a recommendation for this string if people currently use a gut hybrid and are looking for something with somewhat comparable feel, more durability, at less cost.
