cheap strings

[moosryan]

I want to try some new strings. I'm currently using Duraflex 16. Here's a list of strings i was thinking of buying, if people could comment on some of them, that would be awsome: (note: all are 16 guage)

Alpha Gut 2000
Babolat Superfineplay or Conquest
Gamma syn gut or wearguard
Gosen bio Gut tec or JC or OG Sheep
Dunlop Syn Gut or Head Syn Gut
Klip Kicker or syn gut
Prince DF, original PSG, or Lighting XX or Softplay
Tecnifibre E-matrix
Wilson Extreme or stamina


Thanks a lot, moos.

P.S I'm looking for decent power, good tension holding, decent control, basically all the things you look for in a cheap syn gut.

umm most of those are ur typical cheap synthetics. gosen's a bit soft and e-matrix even more so. Lightning XX actually has fairly good playability so you might give that a try if you can get it cheap.

Of late, I've been stringing a lot of Wilson Stamina and getting very good feedback as to the properties you list. Of the Gosen strings, I think Bio Gut Power may be worth a try.

The Wilson Stamina offered more durability than other synth guts. However I hated it because it had such bad spin potential. I prefered the psgd over stamina. I hear Superfineplay isnt bad.
