I'm a former D1 player and I've been using Ali Power 16L at 53lbs. Trying Cyclone 17 at 53lbs. Both strings are 1.25mm. The main reasons for change are cost (I'm breaking strings before I would cut them out) and some perceive Cyclone to be a little easier on the arm.
Cyclone feels a bit different, but I generally like it. That said, the launch angle with Cyclone may be a bit higher and the string may be a little more lively. I've been hitting more balls long in the first few sessions.
What is your experience when moving from Alu Power to Cyclone? Do you tend to string the Cyclone tighter than Alu Power? Maybe try 55? Or, sHould I just 'work it out' over a few weeks while keeping the tension at 53? I'm not one to tinker with my setup a lot as I'm looking to keep things pretty constant.
Just looking to benefit from your experience. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.
Dave
