Hey I'm looking to replace 17 gauge PHT but I have a very specific reason and therefore a specific requirement. I just put in 18G RPM blast and now my racquet's swing weight is perfect. With the 17G PHT it was a bit too head heavy and causing me some injury.
I don't like the RPM blast because it doesn't give me the pop/feedback that the PHT did and it launches the ball much higher. I'm also a pretty nasty string breaker since I hit the ball hard so RPM will not last a few days.
I almost like a low/flat trajectory as if you're hitting a ping pong ball with a wooden paddle without any rubber. Somehow the PHT did that but added a great amount of spin.
Anyway it was by accident that I discovered this swing weight change and was going to replace the racquet altogether but now I have something to work with. I was looking at three strings which appear to fit the bill but maybe you have better idea. They're all cheap which is great.
