AMAZING set up for Nsix-one 95

[Tigerarp1]

I have tried a bunch of setups trying to get feel and a very predictable stringbed out of this racquet. I liked POSG 16 in it, but it was too powerful and unpredictable. So after a month of trying differnt setups, I decided to go back to my trusty POSG 16 but place some cheap SuperSmash 16 in the crosses. This was absolutely AMAZING! It gave the racquet the perfect feel of the synthetic gut that I love so much, but took away the catapult/powerful/unpredictable feeling. Now I can rip my forhands without worrying about loosing control. If you play with this racquet... I HIGHLY suggest the synthetic gut main/ poly cross setup. It is the best i have ever tried and I dont think i could ask for anything better!

what tension did u use?

 

[Tigerarp1]

prince original synthetic gut 16g. I strung the posg mains at 61 and the poly crosses at 60. I had so much controll and feel with this that I could probly drop the overall tension about 3 or 4 lbs and not loose any control.

Many people describe the 16x19 version of the racquet as great, but unpredictable. Like you can hit 20 forehands in a row in what feel like the exact same way, but every once in a while one of those just sprays like 20 feet out. Its really frustrating because I never felt like i could controll these sporadic wild shots. However, this string set up takes that problem away without the harsh, dead, unforgiving feel of an all-poly setup.

If you put POSG 16 on the mains, is it going to last long? How long did you play before it broke?
