So, I've tried the following in my 2x PS97 v13 frames (I have had a bunch of random strings sitting around to try):
+ Wilson Synthetic Gut 17 (Full bed) @55lbs - meh. Vanilla like ice cream. Gets the job done, nothing special. All-around playable and broke in like 4 days.
+ Wilson nxt comfort 17g (Full bed) @58 lbs - great for a week. Lost 10lbs tension and became unplayable. Loved it the 1st two days, hated it afterwards - best serves ~108mph
+ Luxilon Natural Gut 125mm (Full bed) @60lbs - great for about 2 weeks - takes me right home to my PS 85s from the mid-90s. Great spin, control, feel - rocket serves. Lost a bit tension (now at 53 lbs) than I'd like after two weeks - still very playable but starting to be inconsistent (lots of string movement) - best serves right at 115 mph. Might be match ready if I took it to 65lbs.
+ Solinco Hyper G 16L (Full bed) @50lbs - so far my favorite - Good pop, excellent spin, good (not great) feel. This is the first setup I feel like is match-ready. Best serves are ~102mph, but they’re kicking and landing on a dime.
Next up is a gut / poly hybrid - probably VS Touch mains / Dunlop Explosive Speed crosses - to see if I can get the gut feel + the poly snap/spin.
4.5 - 5.0 level all court (but lots of serve/volley) player. Former high-level Jr player (pre-injury) now in my mid 40s.
Overall, love the frame, having a hard time finding a great setup for it. Formerly played with PS 85s (90s), nCode 6.1s (2000s) always with POSG. Now looking to branch out
