Purple rev the best color rev?Most to least comfortable @ 18kg / 40lbs: Swift roughly equal to (maybe ever-so-slightly more comfortable than) Rev, then HGS perhaps every-so-slightly more comfy than PTP when new, but definitely as the string bed ages.
Here's the RacketPedia data (and yes, for the pundits, I realize a bunch of charts, graphs and isolated lab numbers don't necessarily reflect real life, but it's still a decent indicator of what to expect):
Can you recommend maybe some other polys that are even softer than Swift or PTRev?Most to least comfortable @ 18kg / 40lbs: Swift roughly equal to (maybe ever-so-slightly more comfortable than) Rev, then HGS perhaps every-so-slightly more comfy than PTP when new, but definitely as the string bed ages.

Very welcome, and correct, it's a yearly subscription. Not too spendy, though, and pretty good database that, while sometimes not entirely representative of real life, still gives pretty decent indications of playability (so I've found, anyways).
Sure thing:
Swift is softer then +38.... I have +38 mains/ swift hybrid in my aero 98 and ezone98 right now
I should have stipulated, +38 in its narrowest gauge of 1.15. Although Swift may be a tad softer still, and definitely so, gauge per gauge.
I use1.25 in both...+38 is actually 1.32 from edge to edge and 1.25mm from flat to flat.. I hand prestretch and swift also stretches more...I also have 1.20mm +38 and is also .07mm wider edge to edge and is firmer then swift in hand and on racket. I use black +38 cause it plays better then white...
I learned from federer stringer to tie one end of string to door handle and pull other end...I pull using starting clamp or pliers and hold at constant pressure for 30 seconds... it's enough to straiten any string .. I tested and I pull at 40pounds
Is there a chart on yellow ptp, evolution , bussard, swift white all in 1.25mm? These are my round cross strings ..
Looks like bussard as cross n ptp as mains is next ...TNXXXFYI - To all that are interested in RacketPedia data, I'm happy to share a few graphs, but I really suggest finding the several cups of coffee worth of funds to pay for a subscription and get direct access for yourselves.
Thank you!!!Here you go (click to enlarge):
I did that last year and highly reccomend Racketpedia. There is a good string finder function too.FYI - To all that are interested in RacketPedia data, I'm happy to share a few graphs, but I really suggest finding the several cups of coffee worth of funds to pay for a subscription and get direct access for yourselves.
