Need a GOOD amd durable string

[Macedo]

I'm playing with Black Hitter 7 1,25, and I hate playing with 1,30 because it lacks power. I also tension my strings with 21kg
I break BH7 in 2h (it is like 2sets). What can you recommend me?

I already tried this:
Tourna BHBRough
SuperString Energy Rough, Black Viper Hex, Viper V2 Terre Extreme Mono
Kirschbaum Pro Line II and Super Smash Spiky
Razor Code, Red Code
Tour Bite
Alu Power (it lasts me more, but it is quite expensive)
RPM Blast, Revenge, Hurricane (aka rock...), Hurricane Tour (durable, but it lose tension easily), Conquest
Pro's pro Intense Heat, Vendetta, Cyber Power, HexaSpin
Msv Focus-Hex
Signum Poly Plasma

I'm 5.5, baseliner, spin spin spin (i also like to play well on the net, but it's not my comfort zone)

If you are a 5.5 player, then a 17g won't last very long especially if you are doing just rally drills. I broke 2 sets of Typhoon 17 last night just hitting for an hour.

You may be a good candidate for kevlar. Check out this thread on Crossfire ZX (Kevlar+ 1.25/MonoGut ZX Pro 1.22) playtest:

Particularly...

For those of you not finding enough spin with kevlar/ZX, you can easily make kevlar/ZX hybrid more spin-friendly by increasing the tension in the kevlar mains and decreasing the tension of the ZX crosses (to ensure that the mains snap back). This will make the stringbed more comfortable too. If you get the tensions right, this combo is as spin-friendly as any shaped poly.

Yes, I have notion of that. I just think that textured polys are not for me, it breaks to quickly. I'll see if I can get those strings

I heard about a TopSpin Cyber Flash, what do you think?

I'm not fan of non-poly, believe me

You're a beast, Mikeler. A Beast!

Doesn't 17g in a 16x16 pattern racket kinda asking for a broken string

Solinco Outlast is very durable and spin friendly. It offers more control than power IMO but you should try it nonetheless.

I rarely just hit balls back and forth. I'm mostly involved in match play where the strings last longer. To clarify, neither set of strings was brand new but one of them had only been used for 2 sets of singles.

It's a possibility. I'm trying to find a string with a good power too, so I can create spin easily with less effort and the ball gain a little more speed. If it lacks power, I put so many effect in the ball that it is useless because I can't hit deep heavy balls

I've been playing TB for 12hours, yet to break. I usually break polys around 8 hour mark. String it low. With Outlast these are my go to strings.

IMO I'd remove "power" as being a string requirement for you. All poly strings are low powered. Even the highest powered poly string is still light years away from something like natural gut.

Instead, find a string that offers you good control and spin. I'd stay away from softer poly strings.

I've had best luck for string breakers with Solinco Outlast. 16g of course.

So, my top few really durable strings are:

1. Solinco outlast 16
2. Luxilon 4G 16g
3. Tourna Big Hitter Silver 16
4. Tour Bite 16
5. Isospeed Pulse 16

IF you need more power, add lead at noon.

Control is not a priority for me, since I have a lot of margin on my shots. But I will have to consider these options that you gave me!
I think the best I can do is to order a set of each

TB last me more 1/2h than the BH7. I don't like it very much but i have to consider as an option too

Solinco Outlast. Try it. More durable than anything out there.

You could give our T1 Firewire 16 gauge a try. Based on customer feedback it will offer the spin and power you are looking for. In addition, based in USRSA lab tests the string is not overly stiff and holds tension extremely well (in comparison to other co-polyster type strings).
