Multifilament Polyester / Multifilament Synthetic Hybrid

[fortyseven]

I hit with a K90 and N90 4.5 - 5.0, I hit on a daily basis

I previously hit with Luxilon Bigbanger ALU Power Mains / Biphase Hybrid (best hybrid I've ever tried) but the Biphase broke in less than a week (maybe its because i used 17 gauge?). I think I should have put the Biphase in the mains. Either way I generally want my strings to last a minimum of 2-3 weeks. If there's a way to compensate for this let me know please. The strings lasted about 12~ hours total.

To compensate for durability I used the bigbanger in my mains / standard synthetic gut in my crosses. My K90 feels like a board and I had absolutely no feel like I had from the previous setup. I'm considering switching my mains for a different polyester with more feel.

For my new mains, I'm split between Technifibre Promix and Luxilon M2 Pro. Both of these are multifilament Polyester strings. I also previously liked Red code, I'm considering using the new Black Code string with a soft cross.

For my crosses, I'm looking for a durable synthetic multifilament for feel so my racquet wont feel like a board. I really liked the Biphase it really felt good, I'm considering switching to either Technifibre NRG2, Wilson KGut 16, Wilson NXT Tour 16, or the Biphase in 16g, however I think the biphase isnt very durable in general.

So basically:
Mains:
Luxilon ALU Bigbanger (only if I can get something like Biphase thatll last 2-3 weeks)
Technifibre Promix 17
Luxilon M2 Pro 16L
Technifibre Black Code 16 / Red Code 17

Crosses:
Technifibre Biphase 16
Technifibre NRG2 16
Wilson K Gut 16
Wilson NXT Tour 16

Any advice would really help. I'm also considering just going with a full setup of Promix or the Luxilon M2.

What was the tension on the "Luxilon Bigbanger ALU Power Mains/Biphase Hybrid (best hybrid you'd ever tried)" ?

When Promix first came out, I tried it in the mains with Gosen Micro in the crosses and the Gosen sawed right through the Promix. I would imagine a poly cross to wear through quicker. I would recommend string savers in the sweetspot if you cross the promix mains.

The M2 should hold up better as mains as it is for the most part, more like a poly monofilament than a typical multifilament and so will also have more characteristics like a poly monofilament than a multifilament. The M2 is just an opinion but I have a set of this stuff and it feels just like a poly to me.

try alu power rough for mains and for crosses, try wilson nxt max 15L. should have feel and durability.
