Looking for Soft low power syn gut cross

I have been using Poly Polar and I know that i am going to stay with this string but I was looking to use it as a hybrid with another string to get more cup on the ball for feel. I have tried Gamma Professional but it has too much power to where i have to slow my shots down and then the PP is useless. I want a low power syn. gut that will soften up the string bed and add feel. What i was looking at was Gosen OG micro the $30 660' reel, Forten sweet 17g, and Ashway Liberty 16g. I have 2 packages of PSGD 16g. but i don't really think that i could string that at low tension and i think it would stiffen the string bed. SO, low power string I can string at in Low Tension around 48 or lower that will soften up the stringbed and cup the ball. thanks! :grin: or do i need to go even with lower stiffness with the Iso-speed control 16g as a cross? or would that be too powerful?

I have been using forten sweet for my crosses for years. I string polar poly at 53 lb and the sweet at 55. I don't understand softening a polar poly string bed.

What tension are you using???

The PP felt great but i wanted a little more cupping which to me adds feel.
 
for a midplus racket is it better to string crosses looser or tigher. I thought looser felt better but what really are the differences when you are using a poly/syn gut hybrid with the midplus. and what do you mean by you don't understand softening a PP stringbed? is it just because usually people like the stiffness of polyester strings.

no its because poly polar is such a soft co-poly. its so soft some people think its close to synthetic guts. in whether you string crosses higher or lower in any racquet it will have the same effect, or at least i think so. stringing crosses higher will give more power. stringing crosses lower will give bigger sweetspot
