Signum pro plasma pure VS Topspin cyber flash

Hi friends,I'm playing with head liquidmetal radical mp and i used Signum pro plasma pure (white) and cyber flash with different gauge (1.18 for SPPP and 1.25 for Cyber) and my sensations are a little different:

Cyberflash is good string for control and the top shoots are good
SPPP is same for control but a bit better for power

My problem is this:I would play with more topspin and with SPPP 1.18 is hard for me and I don't know if change gauge (1.23 or 1.28??) or use the cyberflash 1.25 (good topspin control).

What do they think??ty for answers

Not disagreeing with you, but I found SPPP to be a bit on the soft almost mushy side. I got little bite on the ball even with SPPP 1.18.

CF was fairly crisp with quite a bit more feel, IMO.

If one is looking for a soft poly or has arm problems, then SPPP is a good choice, IMO

If one wants a crisper, zingier feel then CF 1.20 would be a good value recommendation.

a crisp string is better for topspin?

I think CF 1.20 has a little gauge,do you hit in topspin without any problem with this gauge?

i could be wrong, but im not sure if poly plasma pure and the regular poly plasma (orange) r the same string. it seems like the only difference is color, but if so, i dont know why they call the white one by a different name. when people reference SPPP i always took it to be the orange one and i considered pure to be a seperate string, but i dont know.

anyway, im surprised u're having trouble generating topspin with such a small gauge string. going to a fatter gauge like 1.23 or 1.28 isnt gonna help with spin, instead it'll just increase durability and actually take away a little spin. hence, i suggest sticking with cyber flash unless u wanna try a different signum pro string. u're using the thinnest gauge plasma pure, so thats the max spin u'll get unless u lower the tension.

edit:

ive actually been using signum pro poly megaforce on one of my racquets and i like it. it has great spin capability, but not much power. it could be an acceptable trade off if u're interested more in spin.

IMO cyberflash is WAYYYY better than the SPPP 1.18. SPPP lost tension on me really fast and was really mushy, and just a note: I strung up the SPPP at 67/65 full job. cyberflash has played well for me. Excellent control, pop, spin, and overall playability. Well worth the money, which by the way, cyberflash is really cheap and cost effective.
