Post your O3 Hybrid Tour string setup

[MasterTS]

Post yours and tell us what you've found to work best!

I'm still experimenting with my string setup and haven't found something that matches the racquet yet. My usual setup is ALU 53# mains and Prince Premier 17 @54# crosses but that hasn't worked well with the O3HT.

1.) Full TiMo18 @56# - great spin action and by far the best setup... snapped the strings in 2 hours though. I don't normally like full poly but this may be the way to go

2.) Gut mains @60# / ALU crosses @59# - good spin action, nice feel but a little too powerfull and I struggled to keep the ball in. I think Gut @65# will be the answer.

3.) Timo18 @55# / Wilson reaction 17 @56# - nice spin, great depth and power but setup went trampoline after a few hours

4.) ALU @53# / Prince Premier 17 @54# - nice spin, good depth and power but went trampoline after a few hours

I'm thinking the string configuration on the O3HT needs to be 5-7 pounds higher then my usually setup. Going to try the setups again buy increase the tension.

The problem seems to be O port at the cross for set up 3 & 4. The O port is known to give more power to the racquet & soften the impact (so say it has a mute feel). I would suggest you use the full ALU as it holds tension better than TIMO @ 55, or you can use syn gut cross (15L gauge) at 4lbs more than the main, or a thick multi at 6-8 lbs more than the main (but I think multi will loss tension fast & it's not cost effective)
