BBO or BB alu power

I have been looking into these to strings for a while and dont know which one to choose. I am looking for a low power and it has to be somewhat soft which one would you reccomend as a full string bed?
 
Well, if you want lower power and a softer stringbed, use Alu Power. BBO is a lot more crisp and stiffer than Alu Power, which is somewhat soft for a poly, or at least thats what I thought. Alu Power also has lower power, BBO I thought had a lot more power. Control/Spin is about the same though.

I personaly love BBO and find it very comfortable . If you are worried about tennis elbow i sugest you give pro supex big ace ago.

Your technique!

true. both of them are polys and will give you more control through more spin, and theyre very low powered.

BBO is crisper (also read as stiffer) but seems to be quite a bit more durable. it seems to give me more spin than ALU Power, but the ALU is softer and thus more arm friendly.

but technique will give you more control far and above what either of these will.

i personally prefer BBO, though.

Interesting, the consensus is BBO for power. I'll go against the grain, and say that ALU has just a bit more power than BBO.

I use Alu Power, not as stiff as the BBO. It has fairly good amount of power behind it. I use a Dunlop M-Fill 200 with Alu Power 16 Gauge strung at 54 lbs.
