prince poly exp 17 (fullbed) vs. babolat PHT or Babolat revenge (fullbed)

[kevoT]

hey guys, first time creating a new thread here, but i was wondering how the babolat pro hurricane tour felt in comparison to the prince poly exp 17? I was also wondering how you would compare the poly exp to the babolat revenge as i'm considering either of these strings for my next re-string, but i am reluctant to change string because, well.... i don't like change!

P.S. i'm an all round player

I have two identical racquets that I just playtested. One with PHT and one with Poly EXP (both 16 gauge).

For me the PHT was the winner hands down in every category except power. But the power of the exp came with a loss of control.

What racquet are you using? In the past I have found PHT to feel dead and underpowered but this feel was a nice compliment to a powerful 100 sq in racquet. I might have liked the springier Prince poly in a more control oriented frame...

I never tried revenge.

I use a Babo PDR GT. Would you recommend the PHT over the poly exp? because I haven't used a babolat string before and have been using this string for a while now (about a year) and I'm kinda reluctant to change, yet still kinda want to :? I am also looking for more control so I'm guess that i should try the PHT, hmmm

I use a prince black. similar to your roddick. I think the PHT is killing the prince poly in this type of frame. (for me)

The poly exp by prince is very soft poly. A better comparison would be with the new Prince Poly Spin 3D. A winner hands down when I recently switched a high level D1 college player to this string from PHT. Feel and bite were much improved, was his impression.

Ah lefty you read my mind. I was thinking about the polyspin when I bought the exp. Your saying it plays stiffer and crispier than the exp? I am using the exo3 black with the ports.

hmmm, the PHT seems to be the way to go, but i haven't seen anyone comment on the babo revenge.
I am now also looking at the luxilon adrenaline 125
