New poly

[AHJS]

Okay so I am a long time user of polys, and really need them for their spin and control, however, I do not want a really dead poly. I used to use BHB7 but it got a little too powerful for me, and I now use ALU Feel, which I think is a little too dead for me. What string would be a good compromise between these two in terms of power?

Have you tried RPM Blast 18?

I have. It is my all time favorite string. The first day I install it is incredible. So much power and spin with ridiculous feel. Unfortunately, I break it really fast and it is probably the fastest dying poly of all time, but while its fresh, my god is it great.
I've debated switching to it, but it really does die quick and is very expensive.

Yes it is. What about Genesis Black Magic? Good performance, reasonable price...

Try Head Sonic Pro Edge. Crisp, good pop, and keeps its playability longer than most polys.

Poly Tour Pro 125 - Graphite. I disagree that Feel is too dead. Rather I find it too crisp almost. It's by far the crispest feeling string I have ever tried and it feels a little too tinny as a result.

Great string, one I would gladly take into competition but have found a better overall sensation with the PTP 125 Graphite as it gives me good feel, control, and spin.

Head Sonic Pro Edge, Head Hawk 1.20. Especially the Hawk. It's honestly the best string I've ever tried!

Prince XP Beast in the 1.25 gauge is a really good all rounder. Good power when I strung it at 53 on Prestige Pro and very comfortable. Unique soft feel that takes some getting used to. Durable and very good tension maintenance.

Ever tried Kirschbaum Pro Line II (in 1.25)?

I have not. I've heard good things about it though. Do you recommend it?

Really comfortable poly, seems to hold tension reasonably well, though quite powerful in my opinion. I only string it -/- 1k to what I am normally used to, using syngut or multi strings. There also seems to be a difference between the red and black version, I only used the black one.

Polystar Energy/Turbo seem to fit your ticket! Unusually soft, comfortable poly with good amounts of power. They're cheap from the source, and you can get a steep discount if you buy the 400m reel. Ships cheaply from Germany and Americans pay no customs tax for purchases under $200.
