Round 1.18-1.20 Poly or Co-Poly with Spin, 'Poly' Power, and Durability?

Hall of Fame
I am looking for a 1.18mm to 1.20mm Polyester or Co-Polyester string to put in a 18x20 string pattern.

Characteristics Wanted in the 1.18/1.20 mm string:
#1) Round (not hexagon/heptagon/triangle/decagon/etc. shaped)
#2) Spin potential
#3) Some power (for a poly)
#4) Good feel (not stiff nor mushy)
#5) Durability

Some strings I've already tried (only in the 1.25-1.30 mm versions): Leopard Plus Control 17, BB ALU Power 16L, BB ALU Fluoro 17, Signum Pro Hyperion 17, Signum PPP 1.23, Black Code 17, WC Scorpion 1.22.

Thanks for any help.

Have you considered:
kirschbaum pro line 2
pro supex big ace micro
topspin cyber blue

Cyber Blue is on my short list of possibilities...I'll take a closer look at the other two as well.

A couple others I've taken a look at so far are: TurboTwist 1.18, Silverstring 1.20, Cyber Flash 1.20, Compeition 1.20.

Thanks for your suggestions.

how did u find turbotwist and hyperion? i personally love hyperion? havent tried turbo twist yet

Haven't tried the TurboTwist. Tried the Hyperion along side the Tecnifibre Black Code and, although neither really impressed me too much, I liked the Black Code a bit better...seemed to have a softer feel and better touch at net. Again though, wasn't overly impressed with either one...preferring Luxlilon BB ALU Power 16L to both. However all of these were in an open string patter (16x19) racquet.

My goto string in an open string pattern would be the Luxilon BB ALU Power 16L. I think with a tighter string pattern I would need at least a 1.20 string.

Thanks for all your input so far.

Right now the strings (trying to decide on 2 or 3) leading the way are:

- Luxilon Big Banger Ace 18 (I know, not 1.18 or 1.20, but seems to have the durability like those sizes)
- WeissCannon Silverstring 1.20
- Topspin Cyber Flash 1.20
- Topspin Cyber Blue 1.20
