Experience with 3 synthetic gut strings?

[beepee1972]

Hi stringers and more importantly tennis players,

Do any of you have any experience with one of the following strings, tied as full bed string? I'm mainly interested in feel, comfort, power, string movement. Durabillity is not really important, but you can ofcourse mention that as well

Signum Pro Ultra Power SF 1.30
Kirschbaum Synthetic Gut Premium 1.30
MSV Spin Plus 1.30

Those last two are currently in my rackets, the SP needs testing as well. Thanks a lot.

Other options are also welcome. I live in the Netherlands, reels may not cost more than 80 euro's.

I buy Alpha from Mark Gonzales at Alpha Sports in texas. It plays (to me) exactly like Gosen OG in 16 g. It's dirt cheap like 40 $ for 660 feet. Google Alpha Tennis Austin Texas

Thanks, but I haven't seen alpha being sold anywhere near where I live.

I have played tonight with the Kirschbaum and the MSV. During this 1 hour session, the MSV felt more comfortable and way more powerful. Both strings had hardly any movement in my 18x19 Blade BLX team. Nice. Will continue testing tomorrow, it's jumping to conclusions after playing for only 1 hour.

But for now my preference lies with the MSV string.

Like I said in my earlier post, I tend to have changed now (after 3x 1 hour sessions) more towards the Kirschbaum string. More direct feel, the hardness is completely gone and was replaced by feeling exactly what the ball is doing. The MSV remains comfortable en very plush, but somehow I find the Kirschbaum more to my liking.

Will continue to test. For now, they will remain unused in my bag for a week. We'll see how they emerge from that.....

Don't have experience with the ones you mention but POSG is my favorite. It provides excellent feel, crispness, and nice pop.

I buy a lot of stuff from Mark as well. Lucky to have a local shop like that. Very reasonably priced and good options.
