Fischer M Speed String Change

[gotwheels]

My friend is hitting the Fischer M Speed 98 SL (heavy version) with Gosen Polylon SP 17 mains and POSG 16 crosses at a reference tension of 60 CP. This set-up has played well for him and has had acceptable durability (12-15 hours).

He hits a lot of spin and with his stroke technique will get his elbow irritated at times. I have not been successful at getting him to try lower string tensions. He has another frame coming and the opportunity to try some other string / tension combinations.

He is an aggressive 4.5, all court player that hits with a lot of topspin. Any suggestions on other strings and tensions he might try? He is concerned about durability and wants at least 10 hours out of the stringing. Thanks

Any suggestions from Fischer M Speed 98 users of string combinations to try that work well with this frame and are arm friendly? The new frame is arriving this week. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks

I've just started playing with an M-Speed and have Luxilon Alu Power in it at 54 lbs. When they break I'll go to a hybrid of the Alu Power in the mains and synthetic gut in the crosses. I hit with a lot of spin and have previously had elbow problems, but I'm usually ok as long as I have a soft string in the crosses and don't string the Luxilon too tight in the mains. I'd definitely say that a polyester string at 60lbs is asking for trouble with anyone who suffers from a bad elbow, plus I think the Fischer plays better at a lower tension anyway.
