Need some string advice

I recently strung my nSix-One 95 with full BA at 53 lbs. From what I have read here, the BA seems to be getting a lot of love. However, I did not like the BA at all. I don't know if it's my string-job or what, but the strings felt extremely loose when I was playing (felt alright if I try to move it by hand), shots rocket straight out if I hit a tad bit flat. I also found control to be lacking tremendously. I ended up having to put loads of spin on each shot, which I'm not that used to.

I now have in my possession a set of CF and some PSGD. I'm wondering if I should try a full set of CF or hybrid it with PSGD or maybe abandon poly's and go full PSGD. What do you guys think?

I think you may have liked BA with a hybrid. many people tend to prefered that. try putting some multi or synthetic for the crosses and maybe you will get a better feel as less loose string. might have been your string pattern too.

Yeah, unless it's a small head and 18x20, 53 is very soft and shots sproing out all the time. Increase tension, it's not the strings, it's the choice of too low tension.
I use Mfil 200 (95) 18x20 with 15 gauge cheapo at 62 lbs., and it gets soft after 4 hours of play.

It's just that I read from various places suggestions to drop the tension ~10% when stringing polys. I usually string syn.gut or multis at around 58, so I dropped it by around 5 lbs. Guess I'll do it higher next time.

Thanks for the tips, people.
