I searched around and I haven't found a lot of recent discussion on Genesis Black Magic. So I thought I would ask for some opinions for those that are still using it. I recently picked up a reel of the Black Magic 17 (1.23) and I am wondering a how it compares with other polys since I will end up stringing it for some of my customers as well as myself -- and I am sure the questions will come up.
I typically use thinner full poly setups in my leaded MG Radicals strung in the low to Mid-50s. I have used a lot of different polys, including SPPP, RPM Blast, WC Turbotwist (my personal favorite), ALU rough, MSV Hex, Black Code, Hyperion, Tornado, Silversting, to name some. But this is my first go with Black Magic. Since I usually tweak my tension setup depending on the string characteristics, I am looking for some starting points.
If I do hybrid, I typically use a stiffer synthetic gut cross such as OG Sheep Micro.
So can anyone comment on what Black Magic plays similar to and how it performs in general? As a full bed verses a hybird? How is the tension maintenance?
Thanks. . . HIH
