I've experimented with Monogut ZX over the last couple of years and while I liked the comfort, spin, tension maintenance... I never liked the feel in a full bed (tinny and hollow)... I always went back to my preferred setup: soft co-poly at low tensions, re-string every ~15Hrs.
For the Winter season, even indoors the temps tend to run lower here in the Northeast so I generally lower the tension or go with a softer string setup.
This year, I just happen to spot some some extra sets of Monogut ZX pro and Mantis comfort Synthetic in my growing string inventory so I decided to try a Hybrid with ZX mains and Mantis crosses. 58# on my PO7 16x19.
It's been a couple of months and honestly, I don't know I'll be going back to poly when the weather turns warmer. The tinny, hollow feel is gone. The string bed hits like a full bed of ZX but feels like a full bed of the Mantis. The tension is holding great although after ~50Hrs, the crosses are beginning to fray (they'll go soon I suspect) but the stringbed still snaps back and plays beautifully.
I'm guessing that any, soft multi will have a similar feel. Think I found a new stringbed setup for me.
