My grip size measures between 4 3/8 and 4 1/2 without an overgrip but I prefer a 4 3/8 without an overgrip or a 4 1/4 with an overgrip. Be aware that overgrips have different thicknesses so it is important to choose the one closest to your comfort zone. I like to have about 3 to 4 millimeters...

Hey Odinn21, the Technifibre HDMX is a nice string for those wanting the best of two world's, control and comfort. There is also ample power for flexible frames. I think you will enjoy this string. It also has really good tension maintenance. Let us know how your new 100x is after you have...

I have been using the Phantom Pro for about 8 months and have tried a number of Technifibre multifilaments like HDX 17 at 21 kg ( 45 lbs), X-One biphase 18 at 22 kg ( around 47 lbs) and Multifeel black16 at 21 kg (45 lbs). All of these strings performed really well. Power and feel are great...

I am really looking forward to the new frames coming to Europe. I like open pattern string setups but would like to try a little different balance with the Phantom Pro 16x18. I think the frame is great but would like to see it with a weight of 310 or the 305 with a balance of 320. But the frame...
