Best string for RDX 500 mid?

[Andy Hewitt]

I'm gonna buy a new RDX 500 mid cuz i broke my other and I had no idea what it was strung with. It was at 58lbs. I'm curious to hear what kinds of strings you RDX 500 users have used and how they worked out for u.

I heard people say the Yonex Superspin 16 was great but I wish they made it thinner cuz Im not a string breaker.

Before I broke it, well which is why I broke it lol, I was having trouble keeping my shots in cuz I didnt feel like I was getting much spin out of my racquet. I wanted to start ripping balls but it was hard.

I've tried my RDX Mid w/two strings (nothing fancy yet in terms of setup):

- Wilson NXT 17 @ 62
- Gamma Live Wire Pro 17 @62

I prefer the racquet strung at the high-end...most appear to like it down in the mid-50's. I have relatively flat to moderate spin on most strokes (compared to how folks hit now-a-days) w/my eastern forehand/backhand and generate a lot of my own power/depth, so I like to keep the racquet's power muted and focused on control. I like the softness of the multi, and found the NXT to be the easier of the two strings on the arm, and the NXT is also more spin-friendly. Either can be very spinny, the NXT just has an edge.

The Gamma is holding up better and appears to be more durable...the NXT frays pretty quickly w/regular play, but feels great and allows an extra touch of spin I'm not getting w/the gamma. I'm going back to the NXT w/my next string job.
