Lowest power polyester?

[HunterST]

I've been hitting with poly more lately and I do like the tremendous spin that it gives. Sometimes I hit shots and am amazed at how much spin is produced.

I still like the low power of kevlar as it allows me to really swing out.

I'm thinking the perfect string for me would be very low powered like kevlar, but have the huge spin potential of polyester.

What is the lowest power poly that you have tried? I'm especially interested if you know of any within the pro's pro line because they are so affordable.

I haven't tried many, but RPM Team and Luxilon Savage White were low-powered compared to others. Savage killed my arm, while RPM Team was rather comfortable.

Luxilon big banger original is quite low powered

BBO based on my experience.

KirshbaumSpikeyShark16 is the least powerful strings I"ve tried.

BBO based on my experience.

Agreed...........

One more vote for BBO.

Lux 4G is basically BBO with better tension

 

[bad_call]

think B5E is lower powered than BBO (have both).

Pros Pro spinox is like hitting with a brick wall unless you string tight then it develops into a very nice spin friendly string.

The two lowest power that I have used are Black Shark and Black Fire. I highly recommend both, but Black Fire is now my string of choice. It has great feel for a poly.

Pro Hurricane Tour is very low powered.

BBO and Pro Hurricane Tour are two of the lowest I've ever tried, but Lux Timo is by far the lowest I've used. I should as that is is probably awful for your arm as it is like hitting with piano wire.

The lowest powered string ever tried are luxilon 4G and Discho big star tour. The latter is the cheap version of luxilon 4G, but it performs like a charm. Incredible tension stability, incredible duration, incredible low powered response
I' ve tried Discho big star tour 1.35mm and I would string it at no more than 50 lbs on a standard 16x19 racquet. Maybe you could go to the 1.25 or 1.30mm and pump up a few lbs.

If you want dead poly, try Cyclone. It's cheap and spins the ball too.

Hello,

low Power = Yonex Poly Tour SPIN.
It has less power than the normal poly tour but much more spin an Control...

Kirschbaum Black Shark and Spiky Shark are very very very dead/low powered (as well as extremely spin friendly). I have never strung a string so low and still felt that it needed lower tension in order to add power. I personally prefer Black Shark's feel.

Another low powered string is Solinco Outlast.

Luxilon 4G, especially the thicker gauges is super stiff!!! I love stiff polyesters and I playtest all kinds of polyesters for usrsa. 4G is almost too stiff for me. I only hit with it if I am playing indoors.
