Most spin friendly poly to use in a hybrid

Hi there,
I'm a bit stuck on choosing a poly to put in the mains alongside x-one 16 gauge in the crosses. I'm set on going for a 17 gauge but I want a spin friendly poly that won't give too much power as the x-one is powerful enough for me, any more and balls start to float long. I read up on ALU power rough however I'm worried about the tension loss if i string it at 57 pounds. I have previously used Pro Hurricane tour with x-one before, but it just doesn't give enough spin.
Does anybody have any suggestions about a poly that gives really good spin and that won't provide a lot of power when put in a babolat pure drive 2012 with x-one in the crosses? Any help/guidance about tension recommendations would also be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I would suggest Dunlop Black Widow. It is a low powered string with tons of spin. i would recommend string it low in the low 50's to high 40s since you are used to such a high tension.

my experience with x-one as a cross was pretty terrible. i didn't care for the gummy texture when mixing w/ a poly main. also, the thing shredded and broke in about 4 sets i think. also, the string movement was all over the place. fyi, i used tourbite in the mains for that one
