Arm friendly strings - full bed of multi or hybrid?

[mario65]

I have a Prince Textreme Tour 95 on order and I am tempted to try a hybrid system.
I have always had multis on my racquets, my latest choice is X1 biphase strung at 45 or 50 lbs.
Is there any hybrid system that is arm friendlier or as friendly as a full bed of Biphase?
I am considering natural gut in he main and poly in the cross but I am open to suggestions.
What am I gaining going hybrid vs a full bed of multi?

In terms of comfort nat gut is better than multi and it hold tension until it breaks.

A full bed of multi tends to notch and lock the mains in place and sometimes displaces the strings.

Nat gut is a lively string so to tame it you cross it with a smooth poly, this allows the mains to snap back to place and poly wont easily notch with nat gut mains, you wont have to keep straightening them.

My recommendation is to go Full nat gut for comfort and nat gut/poly hybrid for comfort and controllable power.

I have searched forum/reviews and considering the combination Klip Legend (gut) with Dunlop Black Widow (poly).
Is this a good setup? What tension? should gut go in the main or cross?

There is a thread here with extensive information on your inquiry do check it out. To answer your question IMO use the Nat Gut which you can afford and choose a smooth and slick poly. choose a soft poly if you need comfort and a firm poly if you want to tame the power of Nat Gut.

As for tension, usually you can go high tension with Nat Gut without sacrificing comfort, try 58-55lbs.

I would recommend using it at the Mains to get the most out of Nat Gut setup, string the poly cross around 4lbs lower to promote snapback.
