Rip Control, Intelli Tour or SPPP

The other day i demoed a flexpoint radical strung with head rip control.
At the moment i used luxilon, but using rip control, i found out exactly what feel is. It had excellent pop and feel, but it lacked a bit in control.

I want to restring my six one 95 with either Rip Control, intellitour or Sppp.

Which is the best string to go with. and also which is better rip control or intellitour?

i've played with rip control before, then intellistring. I found they were very similar, but intelli was maybe a little more durable. I then switched over to Luxilon (Alu Touch Hybrid, Alu Power Rough, and 5-star) and I gotta say, I like Luxilon much more. I just borrowed a racquet from a friend strung with Rip Control so I'm able to compare Alu Power Rough and Rip Control. Rip Control's not bad, but I like Luxilon much more. That's my preference.

Intellitour feels a LOT like RIP control IMO. I use the RIP because it's cheaper. I say go with the RIP, I doubt you'll be dissapointed with it. I have no idea how SPPP plays though, I don't buy into all that polyester hype :). I hybrid my RIP with technifbre e-matrix...i think it plays kinda similar to Intellitour.

I think you'll be very satisfied with RIP... it's certainly the best in that price range...

I can get intellitour 17 cheaper than rip control
Should i go with the intellitour 17?

RIP plays softer and it's still crisp... intellitour is beyond crisp, it's stiff.

So if you like that, then go for the intellitour

My last stringjob: Rip Control 17 mains/ syn gut cross. Just broke today so that'd make about 6 and a half hours. RIP broke btw

I've tried all of these. My favorite of the 3 is SPPP. I'd string it looser though. The IntelliTour has a soft feel too, but more power. I didn't care for the RIP Control. Don't know why. But, I really liked Head FXP. It has good control, enough power, and good feel. The SPPP, I'd use in the mains with something softer in the crosses.
