Looking to try new strings

Underdog

I currently mostly use RPM Blast. I favor a control/spin oriented gear, cause I feel I can generate enough power from body mechanics, sometimes more than my technique can actually handle. I’ve used RPM Blast and Rough, Alu Power, Heaven Strings.
I like polys, but it can be frustrating how fast they lose tension and I’m not someone who can be frequently restringing, so I keep my poly preference, but I’m open to different.
What do you guys suggest?

Tourna Silver 7 Tour, Head Lynx Tour, Mayami Tour Hex or Solinco Confidential all come to mind as control/spin strings which have good tension maintenance for polys.
 
Currently Using Triax 1.33 + Yonex Poly Tour Air 1.25 at 54/52, good spin, good comfort :)
When I got poly tour air I was shocked to see that it had their 2nd highest firmness rating on their scale. Why is a string named "air" firm? It should be the opposite so soft that it feels like you're hitting the air, lol. And yea felt very firm in playing with it I didn't feel the comfort at all

Try hybrid it with Triax/Velocity, it help lessen the mute and higher spin in my experience

I always felt like poly mains with syngut cross has good tension maintenance and durability.

Seems to stay playable for awhile even with some tension loss. It doesn't go dead like all poly and the softer syngut maintains a good feel even after some tension loss.

What chairman3 said....but I would reverse the set up with syngut mains and poly crosses as syngut is much softer AND maintains tension better.

OP better yet go with full bed syn gut...but then you'll have to keep adjusting string bed after each point. [shrug]
