Hi guys. I'd like to know which string you use and which tension. I use the head lynx 1,25 with 25 kg. Thinking about Solinco tourbite. Any ideas?

using Yonex Poly Tour Pro Blue 1.25 @ 48-49 pounds
Hit 'em clean
Semi-Pro
Luxilon 4G rough at 46 lbs 16ga
So far I've tried:
Kirschbaum Gut feeling 16g @50 (good power, so-so spin. Snapped after 6-7 hours)
Head Velocity 17g. Black @50 (played nicely. But broke free less than 2 hours of hitting)
Tecnifibre Bi-phase 16g @52&50 (still in the racket after about 8 hours. Heavily notched but only just starting to fray in places. Plays very similar to the Kirschbaum)
RPM Blast 16g @52&50 (I've only played 1 set with this so far as I am recovering from an arm problem. Fingers crossed it didn't have any adverse effects. Spin is definitely the best of those that I have tried so far. Serving seems easier too)
Next up, I'm going to try a couple of hybrids in each racket. I'm going to let my arm lead the way at all times though.

I tried big banger original in a hybrid with gut, but it plays well @47-51 if you want to try it full bed. I’m also getting some strings to try and will hopefully test them out.

Seems like most of you guys use lower string tensions 50lbs ir less...

I'm going to be trying Solinco HyperG 16L at 46lbs tonight. Haven't hit with Hyper G in a while due to some arm issues, but if Lux 4G rough didn't bother me I should be fine with the Hyper G at same tension. If it goes well I'll be trying 17ga later just to squeeze a little more spin and power out of it.

IMO, the gravity pro almost feels like two different racquets: 50+ feels one way (boardy and stiff to me) and sub 50 feels another (smooth butter control).

What set up are you currently using. Just tried my first full poly set up with a full bed of confidential 18g and really liked the spin I was getting. Obviously not as plush as vs17/4g soft but much better on the wallet!

GPro feels wonderful to me with HyperG 17 @55lbs

Im playing around with two different set ups currently (and have tried several others)
1. Wilson Revolve 17g / Gamma Synthetic gut 16g @ 50lbs
2. Hyper G 17g / Gosen SG - 43lbs main, 50 lbs cross
I’d like to try a Gut/Poly hybrid next.
My main learning is how much I like this racquet below 50lbs in tension.

I’ve had 2 bad experiences with full beds of hyper g at 20gauge(felt like over cooked spaghetti) and 19 gauge which felt more like properly cooked spaghetti but still a noodle no less. I bought 1 pack of 18 gauge because I can’t believe that I’m having such a hard time with this string. I’ve used your bite for near 3 years in a blade and really like confidential but can’t get used to hyper g….. 1 more shot

Highly recommend gut poly. Such a great feel in this frame. Have mine strung at 55VS/50 4gsoft

After 2 and a half years playing with the Gravity Pro, my preferred setup was Hawk Touch FB @ 54/52 lbs. Had a spare one a couple pounds lower for bad days, though

It felt horrible hahaThinner than 18 gauge qualifies as badminton string
