Poly/multi launch angle?

Muppet

I have the racquet in my signature strung with Tour Bite Soft 1.20/Genesis Thunder Blast 1.30 @48/52. The launch angle is a little high on it. If the LA were a little low that would not present a problem for me as it's easier to lift the ball a little more.

My question is whether I should just wait for the string bed to break in and if the poly main will lose tension faster than the multi cross. And if that would result in the lower launch angle I want. Since poly loosens up faster than multi, I'm thinking that this will give me a greater tension differential when the time comes. Am I thinking correctly about this? These two strings are not disposable to me.

Much appreciated

the tighter and more locked the stringbed the lower the launch angle. Easiest way is to wait till it notches and locks up.

A notched and locked string bed is my best bet? I think I'll move on to the next strings.
locked bed will decrease the launch angle. So will stiffer strings or higher tensions or both. Also in some string combos string savers will decrease the launch angle.
