Hybrid recommendations to Dunlop CX 200 Tour

[Notorious_Junkballer]

Hi,

I'm using Dunlop CX 200 Tour (both 16x19 and 18x20) at the moment and has been stringing them lately with different hybrid setups (poly + multi), for control+spin and some additional free power. A full bed of poly is not an option for my arm. My previous setup was Wilson Sensation 16 in the mains and Solinco Tour Bite 16 in the crosses, at 23/22 kilos. I liked this a lot but the durability of the multi is an issue. Earlier I've also tried Sensation with Völkl Cyclone, which I also liked, though not as much as Solinco. Now I'll be going with Wilson NXT 16 in the mains (24 kg) and Yonex Poly Tour Pro (yellow) in the crosses (22 kg). This was a no option deal for me since it was the only multi+poly combo my stringer had available when I strolled in unannounced earlier today with a broken string bed - Sensation finally snapped after about ten hours.

How do you think Wilson NXT + Yonex Poly Tour will play? And do you have any other good combos to suggest for the future? I've also tried poly in the mains and multi in the crosses but liked it better the other way around.

Explosive and Silk Spin.

The only hybrids I've tried in my CX 200 tours (18x20) have been gut/poly. My favorites so far have been luxilon gut with either Dunlop NT Max plus or tecnifibre pro red code wax crosses.

Your tension?

Thanx. What have you used besides hybrids? And how many kg/lbs?

NXT + Yonex Poly Pro plays really nicely. Good spin and power and really nice cuts!

You can expect your mains to last longer with Poly Tour Pro than with the edged polys you were using.

I don't think so. Just after an hour you can already see signs of the poly carving its way through the multi.

Oh yeah, PTP isn't exactly slippery. It has a slight texture to it. I thought it would be better than the edged polys, but I guess not. What I'd recommend for a replacement poly is TF Razor Code carbon. Nice string. Real slippery. Maybe a tougher multi main as well.

It looks and feels pretty darn sleek compared to Solinco, nothing like Revolve which I've also used, but still. And shouldn't NXT be more durable than Sensation? I'll play another round with it today, and if it snaps, I'll go for a full bed of poly, despite my touchy arm.
