Gosen OG Sheep Micro Alternative

I love the crispness and playability of this string but would like more power. Any string with this real crisp feel that has more power? Likely a multi but I haven’t found a real crisp multi. TIA

You could just use the same string in a thinner gauge. Or, there are others: Forten Sweet, Prince Original Synthetic, or Technifibre MultiFeel for a little more power.

Have you tried using TWU’s Similar Strings Tool? Most a the time you can compare a string’s stiffness to other similar strings and find a good match. First you select your string from the list then one or more of the recommended similar strings.

From the list of similar string you can select 1 and another window pops up showing specific specs. You can them see comparable strings base on stiffness, power, spin potential, price, etc…

Try the Gosen 18 and drop a little in tension (maybe 3-5 lbs)

Power, just drop tension
For a new string try Head PPS Synthetic Gut
I used to use that in 17g

Gosen OG Sheep Micro is too firm, clunky feeling, and low-powered for me - similar impressions with Prince SG w/Duraflex and maybe Tecnifibre - but I use syn. gut all the time in my own frames.

I like Prince Original SG, Volkl Classic, and I currently have a couple reels of Babolat 16 ga. in service - looking forward to trying Babolat 17 ga. in the next few weeks. I'll also be trying Head's SG, too. My all-time favorite SG is from Kirschbaum, but that hasn't been widely available lately.

I don't really adjust my tensions to get a different sort of performance with my strings. I just set the tension to where it feels right. That being said, my strings can feel very NOT right when I need to play outdoors in the cold with the high school team I coach. In those conditions, I'll usually drop tension by about 5 lbs. in at least one of my racquets to get some feel back.

I'm not a big fan of multis and I only keep a reel of Prince Premier Control 16 on hand for when somebody asks me for a multi string job. This string is a good chunk more affordable than some of the premium multis around and it also seems to do a better than average job of sustaining its tension. If you do some trials with a multifiber, I'd recommend this one, but a couple of the moderately soft syn. guts are probably the easiest first step if you need a little extra liveliness compared with the Gosen.
