Try cyclone power. One of my favourites from Pros Pro.
How does it compare to black force? Soft,slippery,best for cross?
I have only used in fb and as a main. It’s stiffer than blackforce and with more control. Spin is very average, not great but not terrible either. If you want a slick cross I would try red devil.
Yup. Worst string ever (iString Super Soft). It would stretch forever, and by the time it settled, you were left with a mushy dead string bed with zero positive attributes in my opinion.
You mean Cyclone power here ?
I was referring to iString Super Soft which I put in parentheses, and @what_army commented about on the previous page.
You are talking about Blackout and Blackforce ?
BO is much stiffer than BF.
I haven’t tried stratagem 8 but it’s supposedly along the lines of RPM blast so I guess it’ll be stiff.
Found it:
Plus power.. you mean Cyber Power?
I only played with concept. It is muted and with decent control. It is not a powerful string and has decent tension maintenance.
Haven't played with Cyber Power but I would agree with that review of Concept
What about Blackforce counterparts?
I have no idea. Perhaps someone who’s played with it more extensively?
If you’re looking for round shaped, then maybe concept or plus power in 1.35 for the durability and tension maintenance
I may be mistaken but people have speculated that Concept is the same as Weiss Cannon Scorpion, Concept, so potentially Weiss Turbotwist could be an answer for you in a shaped poly!!
I found the twisted strings work best with nylon crosses but round poly crosses work best with square or pentagonal shaped polys
@DariaGT I am a fan of Concept 1.22 as a cross, also love Square / shaped poly mains with round poly crosses. No knowledge of Cyclone Power yet. Also love the latest Solinco Hybrid Hyper-G with Hyper-G Round - better IMO than a full bed of either!! Awesome combo !
just ordered another reel of Weiss Cannon Black 5 Edge, I mean BO 1.24mm same country, same factory and prob just 5-10% out of required tolerances.
To me 1.28BO is superior in every way to 1.24, just cause it’s noticeably better at tension maintenance and takes longer to notch and break, at least in my experience. But then again I only prefer 1.28mm+ strings.
That’s quite interesting, I have a cx 400 tour and i find strings last much longer in that compared to my aero 100 2023, but I think you are referring to what id call the first stage of dead polys, the initial huge tension drop, I normally play until the strings have been notched deep enough that there’s significant loss of SnapBack, which id call the 2nd stage, so for me 1.28 blackout full bed would look like this, 0-2hrs fresh, 2-8hrs 1st stage dead, 8hrs+ 2nd stage dead, 12hrs+ probably snapped at centre. The 1.24 would just be notched and sawed through faster for me, since there isn’t as much material there. That’s also why I prefer 1.30 hyper g to 1.25. I would think the cx 200 would be pretty generous on strings, especiallly in the sweet spot where it’s hella tight. I normally do 50/50 but for my cx400tour I need to do 45/45 to feel good on the sweet spot. Also I always have concept 1.33 as cross, it helps me maintain SnapBack for longer, for me the huge tension loss is bearable, but loss of SnapBack isn’t. That’s why I can play in 1st stage dead poly but I cut out at 2nd stage dead poly. It’s way too much hassle to always have fresh strings and play a few hours. If Buuuut our opinion on gauges seems to be divided, which is ok, our opinion on the different strings they offer seems to be aligned. I wouldn’t use 1.33 concept in mains either, I have to hit with so much extra spin to tame the power of full bed 1.33 concept. You should do more tests with the sx300, that’s quite similar to my aero, with the super open string pattern, I really like the thicker gauges to give me some extra control as well
what gauge are you guys talking about? I was considering trying S8 over BO 1.24 as the Mains.
MSV Focus Hex 1.27
Yes correction if needed, seems for hex the corners are better with larger than 1.23
I found BO cuts mains easily and would eat firewire as BO Xs ate its BO Mains on my test of full BO bed.
Thanks for the rec but I found the BO really soft in my strike VS and want something a bit firm that why I asked for something in the mains (hopefully shaped) with BO to give a bit more feedback from the mains. Durability is not a big concern for me. Usually most polys last me 3-4 hours before it breaks so It's not a problem if I get good performance out of the hybrid
plenty feedback and durability from concept, prob most durable cross out there for the buck (makes mains last longer as they snapback with more ease)
1.30 hexaspin is same as eruption, lethal 5 is a twisted string, which means it has high coil memory which means it’s gonna be difficult to string up, I string for myself and hate dealing with difficult to string strings.(I don’t like stringing blackforce, since it stretches too much so it takes longer to string). I had great time with eruption/concept, I’d assume exact same results with hexaspin/concept.
Hello, it is definitely possible, not only by chromatography. You would probably be scared off by the price, though
It all depends on the methods available to the lab; they are always specialized in certain fields. And on how many details you want. For example, comparing two co-polymer strings without layered structure would tell you either just that both are co-polymer, possibly if they are based on the same basic structure, or additionally compare the length of the polymer chain, or more detailed analysis could also compare present additives, monomer remains content, and/or other impurities -but that would cost several orders more.
