I'm in the process of determining which would be my regular poly's for the Head Flexpoint Radical Tour (open string patterned) and was just wondering if anyone would have any opinions on the following strings. I did a search on TT for them but would like fresher comments now that these newer poly's have been on the market for a while.
I usually hybrid poly 17g(@58lb Main) with nylon like Gosen OG Micro 17(@60lb Cross). My play style is all-courter and with healthy amount of topspin.
Important factors:
1)Soft/good feel
2)Control / spin
3)Accessible power
4)Tension maintenance
5)Reasonably priced ($100 per 660' reel max)
Right now, I am play-testing with Cyberflash 17g and Pro Supex Big Ace 17g. Freshly strung rackets feel way boarding and no power but after a couple of hours both strings feel great with "accessible" power (Loving it). Control is there so far. Is it normal for poly's to play better after broken in? If so, which kind of sucks in a way because I would have to break them in before playing a match.
So far:
Cyberflash = soft, pocketing effect, accessible power, a bit of muted feel which isn't bad in anyway.
Big Ace = soft, better control = not as powerful as Cyberflash, to be determined...
Anyway, I will try the following next (all 17g):
WeissCannon Silverstring
WeissCannon Matchpower
WeissCannon Scorpion
Pro Supex Premier Ace
Pro Supex Poly Power Soft
Gosen Polyon SP
SPPP
Please chime in if you have recently played with any of these.
Thanks!
