Not great spin with the 4G in such a small dense frame, but the X-One does soften it up a bit more for plenty of bite.
I have half sets of both left, I am not a big hybrid fan but might try this for fun. Is this a setup that you would reccommend or not really?

Definitely try it! IMO, X-One is the best multi on the market. Make sure to put 4G in the mains to maximize spin and durability. X-One in the mains will not last at all with this hybrid.

Völkl Cyclone Tour in the mains and Prince Synthetic W/Duraflex in the crosses. Going to test them out never tried them as a combo.

Hope it works out for you. I really like using Volkl SG that has a spiral wrap. It doesn't have the feel of the ribbon like PSGD and is a slightly bit stiffer but still softer than other SG I have tried. I just strung up Tourbite 1.20 with PSGD 1.25 for a friend. Let me know how it goes for you.

I'm planning to try exactly the same combo in one of my DR98s. Have you tested it out yet? How was it? What tension did you go with?

It worked quite well. I've never used cyclone tour before. But I have used cyclone. Compared to hyper g with the Duraflex I get more spin with this combo also more power. However I need to find the right tension. I typically did hyper g at 54 and the prince at 51. I bumped up the tension for cyclone to 56 and Prince to 53. I feel like I want to bring it down a pound or two on the mains. And maybe one on the crosses.

Speaking of cyclone and hyper g

Had some extra cyclone 17 and hyper g 17 laying around so put it in my old Aero Pro Drive + 13. Turned out nice in my opinion.

Also @FluidTennis if you have other ideas for a combo with the cyclone tour let me know. I'm rather new to the world of synthetic gut. I just happened to get a sample of psgd and liked it. I've just recently switched from full bed Polys.

Ive had pink cyclone in the Strike and looks pretty good too, all black/red. I can see the ocean blue Evolution shine in many sticks

I got a reel on the pink cyclone 18 gauge for about $50 last year. Looks a bit fruity buy plays well. I still kick myself for not buying more - I think it was a happy hour special.

For $50 its a steal. Id definitely jump on it. The pink doesnt look too bad in black or red frames.

I play with an ig prestige mp and I also put it in my buddy's speed so I guess I'm following your black or red frame suggestion. This prolly is the wrong thread to say it, but I'm more concerned with how the string plays than how it looks.

In your Aero Pro you've got 2 mis-weaves on cross 16. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Does Cyclone Tour/PSGD feel muted to you in the 97S?
Yeah I saw it shortly after its okay because the string I put in it probably wouldn't last long it's gauge was way too thin. And I've been using the hyper g/PSGD before this combo so its actually less muted than hyper g/PSGD. And I seem to like the feel of it. I do need to tweak the tension.

Both of my freshly strung sticks ready for the weekend. Had a Bab stencil lying around so did a (really poor) stencil job on my APD. The PD survived because I didn't have white stencil ink. PA is on the machine as I type.

P.S: noobie question but how do you guys post such good quality pics? I used postimage.com & uploaded it there and shared link here, but the picture quality sucks! Is there a way to directly upload pics from my phone/tablet/laptop?

imgur.com is better

How does Hyper-G play in this frame? I have been meaning to try it for some time now. What tension?
Have not tried it myself just yet. It was strung at 45lbs.
I'll throw it in my DR at 50lbs and take it from there.
Keep in mind my DR's are weighted up to be between 345g-350g.

I have mine sitting at 341g, 8 pts HL. I have Prince XC 16L in it at 46lbs, but am looking for a thinner, possibly stiffer textured poly to try. The XC was great in my 95s' with it being a tad thicker it lasted a little longer. The DR has a more dense pattern so I am wanting to experiment again. You'll have to report back if and when you try it out.

Luxilon Alu feel 18g @ 51lbs
Natural gut wholesale 16 @ 53lbs

Been using NGW natural gut string for about a year now. It's cheap (9 dollars per half set) and plays better than any Syn gut IMO and the durability is great. So much power and feel...first time stringing w luxilon. My normal go to main is volkl cyclone 17 but I can't wait to see how this lux feel string is.

btw, i scored this racket for 65 bucks on the big auction site! (my 3rd blade) was so cheap because the buttcap has fallen off and guy didn't know how to staple it back on. two staples w/the staple gun later I saved 100 bucks.
