Best Hybrid Setup for Natural Gut mains w/ Co-Poly crosses

[Shaun]

I use wilson champions choice with gut (1.30 mm) mains and alu power rough (1.25 mm) crosses. Since its a little too expensive, I want to know which hybrid setup will feel most like the champions choice so that it's cheaper. Below are some of the strings I chose that I feel might play the closest.

•Natural Gut (mains)
-Klip Legend Natural Gut 16
-Klip Legend Tour Natural Gut 16
-Pacific Classic Natural Gut 16

•Co-Poly (nylon) polyester (crosses)
-Klip K-Boom 17
-MSV Co-Focus 16L
-Tourna Big Hitter Silver Rough 17
-Tourna Big Hitter Blue Rough 17

Which setup do you guys think I should go with so ill get almost the same feel and power, bite, durability, and resistance to tension loss? Let me know.
Thanks!

I'm going to try and revive this thread since I also have the exact same question.

Any comments would be appreciated!

I would recommend Pacific Classic mains and Kirschbaum Max Power (Rough if you want the rough texture) 17 crosses. The other advantage is that Max Power holds its tension better than Alu Power, so the setup should hold its playability better as well.

Another option to check out for the crosses is Solinco Tour Bite Diamond Rough.

Weiss Cannon Silverstring lasts a very long time and has a slippery surface. Many on this board recommend it as a cross for gut mains. If you want to save money by having your hybrid last a long time, this is a good choice.

If you want to save money consistently by making it last much longer on a gut/whatever hybrid use string savers. Period.

pacific + msv cofocus is decent enough and on the very cheap side of gut/poly combos.

My fav is Babolat VS Tonic 16 mains crossed with Topspin Cyber Blue 17 - awesome feel, comfort, and spin

I like the Solinco Tour Bite Diamond Rough as a cross with Ngut, it holds tension much better than Lux ALU Rough. I bumped the tension a few pounds because it is has a fair amount of power in a 16x19.

Setup:
Wilson PS97
Klip Legend 16 / Solinco TBDR 1L
58/54

I hate to jump in on this combination but I hated this hybrid combination. It just did not play or feel right. I had horrible control and touch shots. I had read great things about the co-focus and bought 4 sets before actually trying it out. I think the mfg had a BOGO offer at the time.
