Alu Power Soft or 4G for playability and tension maintenance?

[aaron_h27]

For a natural gut hybrid job, which of these will do better as cross strings? Looking at the playtester reviews it seems like Alu Power Soft has better tension maintenance and playability than 4G and more spin, but 4G is specifically created for tension maintenance so I wanted to hear from some other folks. I basically want my poly to last at least 20 hours, or maybe until the gut breaks. I don't like re-stringing frequently so I need something that will play consistent day in and day out for the most part. What would you all recommend for me?

If you want tension maintenance, then any factory stretched poly will do. This includes 4G. SPPP and Proline II are also candidates. ALU Power Soft will not last your requisite 20+ hours. 3 cents.

Also Max Power. Another pre-stretched string, great feel, good control and spin. Kinda like 4G bit a bit more powerful and more spin friendly in my opinion.

Cool, I've been hearing a lot about Max Power, What about Max Power rough? Does that hold tension well?

Not as well as Max Power, still pretty well though. Very good rough string (although I must admit I don't like right strings much), so if you like that, you can try it as well.

In my personal opinion alu power or alu power soft isn't better than 4g in any category.
