Klip Gut and Gamma Glide cross. Tension?

My last string job was gut at 60.
It was too harsh.
I am trying Gut at 58 this time.
Klip Gut seems way more elastic than VS gut, during pre-stretch.

I have Gamma Glide for the cross.
It is also very elastic, during pre-stretch.
Package also says to string 10% higher than mains.
I guess I will string the Gamma glide cross at 60.

I feel like these tensions are too high,
and I wasted this pack.

Don't cross typically get strung looser than mains ?

Klip at 58 with Glide at 60 played really really well.
Everything landed in.
I am very happy. And the Klip did not feel harsh like VS.

That's odd. I have to string legend about where I do poly (50) but then this is with a poly cross on a 18×20 frame.

Haven't used VS in years. Remember having to lift the bar like 2-3 times for it.
Legend just 1 tiny reraise.

The Glide is more elastic than gut, so who knows what its made of.
I think it's gotta be strung high. With Klip at 60, I could bash the ball and get lots of spin.
Klip was also quicker to string, you're right. Prestretch helped.
