Ultra cable is a very low powered string

Are you looking for only poly strings?

Ultra cable is a low powered string that produces crazy spin. You have to swing hard to reap the rewards. To get more power you can string lower (next time) and/or go up in gauge size. Maybe 1.20mm instead of the 1.23mm ultra cable. Perhaps try syn gut for comparison. Syn gut is a great all around string, but doesn't last as long as poly on average (unless the poly tension just drops like a stone and you can't control the ball anymore).

Had UC in ezone 98. The launch angle was too high for me.

With ezone 100 launch angle is low - In comparison to Phantom pro 100 and Wilson pro open blx (2012). I hit a lot of nets. What string you have currently?

Try Tecnifibre 4S strung at 45 lbs.

Reviews says its low power

Not lower powered than other polys in my experience.
As far as I know, the only way you'll get significantly more power with a poly is with an extremely soft round poly, which won't give you the extra spin you said you want.

What about durability?
I don't find Ultra Cable to be particularly low powered compared to other polys I've used. I'd say it's about average. Tension and how it's strung will make a big difference in the "power" output thought. Syn gut can become low powered if strung to high also.
I string most polys in the mid 40s to low 50s depending on the particular setup. I'm currently using Ultra Cable at 45lbs.
Unless you have trouble with strings breaking quickly I would suggest using a synthetic gut or multi string in the low to mid 50s and see how that works for you.

Keep a big gauge, 15L or something

I've been using UC on both my Ezone 100 for the past few months.
I was previously a RPM Rough user, for quite some time.
UC is less powerfull (but not by much), but more comfortable and has quite a bit more spin.
I think it goes well with the Ezone, if you can get used to it, I am a heavy hitter baseliner, so increasing power on my shots was not a real problem.
I string it @ 50lbs with 15% pre-stretch.
Love the string so much that it would be more likely to change the racket than the UC.

Did You try solinco hyper go?

I have not, it was on my list though, and still want to try it.
After RPMR I have tried Tecnifibre 4S and UC only, liked UC so much that I stoped looking.

Interesting. How would you compare UC to the 4S?
gcgraciano

4S was stiffer, and horrible tension maintenance.
how do you compare UC and 4S? I use 4s
quite a lot at 60/60# & 70/40# and hit very hard with heavy spin. 4s playability decreases quite fast in terms of spin and control(70/40# setting is better). I noticed 4s has poor snap back though.
tension loss particularly on cross
