Pure Drive with gut/poly

[KaiserW]

Hi, has anyone played the latest Pure Drive with gut/poly. I just ordered one and going to string with full poly but if I have any discomfort I will try gut/poly.
Just curious if you feel it is too powerful with gut/poly. Demoed it with RPM Blast and felt good but of course that was only one session.

String gameplay on PD over the years has been to put the softer string (if you must) in the crosses. It needs a stiff main to keep it under control.

I loved my 2018 PD tours with gut/poly... I didn't like having to string them every 4-6 hrs.

I had PD + 2015 models with gut poly and they were very nice provided you used the right poly. They needed stiffer poly like 4G to control the gut.

Much happier with my Phantom 93P with gut and soft poly crosses. The string bed and frame provides all the control and feel I need so I just need a little spin and power from the strings.

I had zero arm issues with the new PD.

Kind of what I was thinking. I have played gut/poly with Pure Drive Tour but that is much heavier so feel more controlled.

Nice!
