Please rate each in terms of power, control, spin, comfort, and durability.

I'm currently using SPPP hextreme @ 60lbs in my O3 Hybrid Tour. Is the Pro Hurricane Tour just as soft that I'll be able to string it at the same tension or will I need to drop a couple pounds? I got a set coming in and wanted to get an idea of what tension to string it at and what to expect from the string before I get it.

PH tour is really softer, more powerfull, but control and tension stability are lower. I usually string PH Tour 2 kg higher than Hextrem.

Pro hurricane tour is not softer then hextreme - per the USRSA's string finder - pro hurricane tour 16ga stiffness is 270, 17gauge is 256 while hextreme 16L is 246. They are both very similar in tension loss rated at around 16 lbs.

Thanks for the info. So definitely string it lower than the SPPP hextreme correct?

I understand that SPPP HEX is softer and has better tension stability, but less power, than PH Tour. Meaning, you could go either higher or lower, depending on what you're looking for. If I were you, I'd use exactly the same tension, in order to be able to determine what the differences are and what tension I would want on a further string job.

My fear of using the same tension is that it might rip my shoulder off. I string SPPP hex @ 60 and have no issues. Is stringing PHT at 60 gonna be detrimental to my arm?
