I've never tried it myself but I thought Tourna Silver Rough was as close as you could get to BB Alu Rough.

If you haven't bought anything yet, at least consider trying a hybrid with: Signum Pro - Micronite or maybe Tecnifibre - Multifeel (only drawback is the annoying PU coating which makes everything slippery, including the clamps) I don't think they're on par with X1-biphase but at half...

I dont get it, why 98sq and why 65RA? The original had like ~40RA and <90sq. It's closer to a babolat canon then anything else.

Multifeel at 58lbs worked really well for me. Good spin, control and gentle on the arm. Although it was a bit harder to produce spin on the first balls, might have been the coating or just my imagination.

I'm with tennisnoob3. If you don't play a lot or at least don't break the strings frequently, there's no reason for using a poly string. If it's too much power, mix it with rip control or something similar. OG sheep is good as well but the multi's last longer (when it comes to tension...

They seem like good candidates (looking at the specs) so it wont hurt to try them I guess or led up the rackets you already got. Im not sure that the tonic + alu will work (if your arm is already sore) but try it. It's a expensive combo though :-| Oh it's a bit of a wildcard but if you have a...

but why buy a new racket at all? A full job of lux alu isn't going to be arm friendly no matter what racket he'll use.

I haven't played with black code so I don't know but lux orig is a no no. It was like hitting with a steel pipe. Btw. Do not like hybrids or is it the access to spin/control you like with a full poly setup? EDIT: Look here...

^^ well yeah playability wise but not for your arm. Try a multifilament string (Multifeel/Addiction etc) instead or a hybrid. Even if you want to stick with a full poly job, at least try a softer one like Hyperion/Tornado/RPM blast (search in forum for soft poly).

I dont think the beam width would be a problem since the headsize is so big but yeah I would also prefer a thinner beam. Boris Becker Delta Core London is also an alternative but it might be too light :/. Btw what strings are you using? Not a full poly-job I hope.

Or maybe a pacific xforce pro? Isn't there a loaners program in france?

it's kinda strange, i felt it to but it does really well here (well it's the tornado but they're basically the same string) http://tennisblog.artikelbilliger.de/2009/11/27/zehn-polyestersaiten-im-test-sieger-ist-signum-pro-tornado/

Even if it doesn't affect the life span I can't see why anyone would want to string a one piece :???:? If the strings brake you end up with a worthless set instead of a half set. It puts strain on the racquet, you can't mix and it's tricky to measure.

Gosen OG Sheep or Forten Sweet!

It might be old news but the biomimetic series (all except the 100 :/ ) seems to have reached europe now (some german shop). A bit off topic maybe, but I cant figure out why so many of you seem so negative about the cosmetics :S. The 200 and 300 looks kinda sweet if you ask me.
