Seeking Advice for personal set-up

[Tennisguy102]

Hello all, I recently purchased two packs of Head Velocity, one in 16G and one in 17G, both black. Once my current set-up loses tension and power, i will be stringing up the Velocity in my main racket, Yonex Vcore Pro 97 (330G). I have a very heavy spin oriented game, slice and topspin on both sides, and I make use of all 3 kinds of serves. I serve and volley some of the time, while the rest is spent being aggressive at the baseline. I have a habit of playing with strings up to 3 weeks after the tension dies out (adjusting my technique to hit just a little bit flatter to compensate for the loss in tension.) What tension should i be stringing the Velocity at in my racket? For these first 2 sets of string, im looking to use them both in a full bed before i think of using it in a hybrid. My normal set-up is a hybrid of various poly strings, currently its Prince Warrior Response at 55lbs full bed. Any additional tips or advice for what to expect from the string would be much appreciated. Thanks

using them as a full bed is smart.
but how about trying both mixed as a hybrid.
17 mains / 16 crosses
16 mains / 17 crosses
see what you like...

Start fb v 16 mid tension for good control, mid tension - 3lbs for more touch but still good control. V 16/17 broke twice as fast as fb v 16 for me, never tried 17/16.

tension is so personal.

I was stringing at 53 full poly, but recently strung up a clients at 48 and decided to give that a try and I'm loving it.

There's really no right answer … you need to experiment a bit and see what you like the best.
