Best Poly Hybrid for Pro Staff 97?

[rs8400]

Currently running a Pro Staff 97 v13, and I'm looking for a little more power than it currently gives with a full bed of poly. What hybrid setups -- Poly/multi or poly/syn gut -- have worked for y'all to increase power and feel, while also maintaining a good level of control (much of which should be provided by the frame itself)?

i've tried full poly, 4g/NXT, and some multi in the v13...i think gut/poly would be the first thing i'd try if it were up to me

By gut do you mean natural or synthetic gut? Natural gut may be a little out of budget for me, otherwise I definitely would give it a go

natural gut. would only be half a set and last longer than any of the other possible options if that makes any difference.

4g rough nxt control hybrid is my only suggestion, or full bed ice code which is the most powerful poly and has good ball pocketing

Ptp/sensation 50/52

Alu/rexis speed. 48/50. This one is my fav but doesn’t last long

of course love nat gut/Alu rgh too.
I also use PS 97 V13 and tried other combos

The ProStaff is practically made for a natural gut / poly hybrid. It's by far the best combo in that frame.

That said, considering the supply issues with natural gut right now, Klip is tough to come by, and if getting fleeced by Bab, Wilson or Lux isn't your idea of fun, then a good substitute would be Tecnifibre NRG².

Thanks for the rec, will explore these options!

Huh, only saw the major brands and noped out of those real fast. Will explore Klip and NRG2.

As suggested above, before you leave the full poly world you might want to try a full bed of Ice Code, Element, or even Cyclone Tour. All fairly powerful polys.
