Luxilon Big Banger Alu Power Rough 16L VS. Topspin Cyber Flash 1.25

[topspin95]

Was reading somewhere cooperation between Luxilon Big Banger ALU Rough 16L & Topspin Cyber Flash 1.25.
Would like opinion about using this two strings as hybrid……is that a good idea??
Wondering if anyone tried it already. Thx.

Hybrding two polys of the same stiffness and playing characteristics is not the smartest choice.

I agree with PT63, I think they play fairly similarly and you won't get much benefit from using the combo plus you would save a lot more $$ by just going with the CF. What are you using now and what kinda stick?

I am using Wilson K Factor KSix-One 95 (16x18) Racquet with Luxilon Big Banger ALU Power Rough 16L String as main and experimenting with cross.
For now as cross I have Babolat Fibertour but had Stamina & Dunlop Max Comfort before.
Trying to find a good combo.

 

[topspin95]

can someone recommend a good combination for hybrid stringing. I like Alu Power rough or topspin cyber flash for main....but still looking for cross that would give power and spin....any recommendations? Thxs.

A softer string that plays more like a multi- and still maintains tension very well - LaserFibre.

 

[topspin95]

which LaserFibre do you recommend? I never tried one of those. Thx.

 

[nickarnold2000]

I'm very happy with forten sweet as a cross - soft and lively.

LaserFibre Supreme

I'm very happy with forten sweet as a cross - soft and lively.

yes.. very good cross. PSGD is a popular choice as well.

 

[topspin95]

so LaserFibre Laser Supreme. They have 16 on tennis warehouse...how about tension? What is recommended difference between mains and crosses.
And what is PSGD by the way??
Looking forward to trying it out, hopefully will add some pop to my game.
Thx again.

 

[topspin95]

Just wondering, does LaserFibre Laser Supreme needs pre-stretching and what is recommended percentage?

 

[hoodjem]

Softer crosses? Either Forten Sweet or POSG

(PSGD = Princ Synthetic Gut Duraflex
POSG= Price Original Synthetic Gut)

 

[topspin95]

well I read this,
Main functions of main strings:
- Durability
- Generate spin
Main functions of cross strings:
- Power
- Comfort
And I guess to have more power need softer crosses. If I string main at 61lb what is good for cross and do we have to pre-stretch LaserFibre Laser Supreme and what percentage?
Also could find only gauge 16 and 17
