Most spin-friendly Pro's Pro string?

[TennisFan1337]

Hey guys!

I'd like to hear your opinion, experiences and knowledge on Pro's Pro strings - exactly which poly string they got is the most spin-friendly?

First thing that came in to my mind was the Blackout, Black Force and Hexaspin Twist 1.24 and 1.25 versions. But which produces the most spin?

If anyone wonders, I'm using currently a Head LM Prestige MP.

Probably one of the Lethals or Strategem. Black Force 1.19 is pretty decent, but I've strung it at 45 lbs in a hybrid with 1.30 syngut crosses at 48, and I find the setup too tight. I'm thinking a lot about putting in a new set at 42 x 45.

But in any event, I suspect it's not their spinniest offering. Spinny for sure, but probably not spinniest.

Maybe in a full bed it would get more spin? I don't know much in that area, I ahven't tried anything like that out yet.

Full bed will probably help a little, although I suspect that a few pounds looser will help a lot.

Incidentally, it's a pretty stiff poly so I wouldn't recommend it full bed unless you have a kevlar arm!

Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried both Strategem and Black Force? I don't seem to be able to get Strategem in sets.

Blackout gets more spin than the Black Force. Haven't tried Hexaspin Twist but have tried Lethal 5 which is a twisted pentagonal poly and Blackout still gets more spin. All were 1.24 or 1.25mm.

Thanks mate!

Could you tell me how the stifness felt to you? Which was the stiffest and which was the softest? I'm looking for something slightly stiffer that RPM Blast.

I vote for hexaspin (I have blackout, intense heat and hexaspin to compare from)

Blackout had the sharpest vibrations but then I do not use a dampener. Not necessarily the stiffest because the way the string seemed to snap back was a little delayed. This string did seem to lose the most tension off the stringer though so that could have in some part affected it. Kind of felt trampoline like but the ball never launched long with all the spin that was generated.

Lethal 5 seemed to be the crispest in how fast it snapped back into place. More comfortable than the BO but not as much as the Black Force for me because it had a little of those vibrations I got from the BO yet not as sharp feeling in the vibes.

BF was the most comfortable. The blackout seemed to have a deeper pocket at the same tension but had some sharp vibrations I seemed to get from the string. A dampener could have probably diminished these but I never use a dampener. I seem to get those sharp vibrations from the polygonally shaped strings in general though. Also, because BO seemed to lose more tension off the stringer, that must have contributed in part to the deeper pocket.

These were all strung same tension, 47/45 lbs in a Redondo Mid. Haven't used rpm in my own frames so cannot really compare.

Alright, thanks for those reviews!

In addition to the polys mentioned, Spinox is worth a look.
