Don't know what combination of Hybrids is best.

[hyperthom007]

I have a Wilson Kobra Tour and Yonex's RDS 001MP and right now I have some strings in my storage and I want to try a Hybrid. (never tried before) Anyways, the strings are:
Red Code 17
Black Code 17
Wilson Sensation 16 and 17
Head Synthetic Gut PPS 17
Any advice on which combination is good? Thanks!

A little info on my playing style... I am around 4.0 (I think) and I like to play from baseline... Used to hit very spinny balls but now has lessen the spin and working on hitting flatter.

Red code and synthetic gut. Try RC in mains and SG on crosses.

I'd go sensation mains and RC crosses.

Gut mains, redcode cross.

Of these, I would try Red Code 17 mains with Sensation 17 in the crosses. (String the mains at least 3 lbs. lower in tension than the crosses.)

Sensation is actually a nice feeling string when used in hybrids with polys. Just don't expect it to last that long.

i use black code 17 in the mains on my racquet with a 17 prince syn gut cross strung at 58. try the black code in the mains, imo it gives a better all around playability than the red code, which is why is switched to it. let us know which setup you go with and how you like it.

how often do you break strings?

Hm... I have used red code 17 on a full bed once and it lasted me about 5 months.
Great idea on Red Code as mains... Now I need to decide whether sensation or gut as cross

Interesting, I play with Reds in cross (Gamma Live Wire Mains); you like the black better? I also like 58 for both.

I would try Red Code Mains (Currently have it setup on my Prostaff as full bed) and Wilson Sensation 17 on crosses. As you have tried Red Code before you could possibly try Black Code on Mains instead they are near enough the same strings though tbh, never tried Black code but it seems to give more bite to the ball.
