Softest poly + other questions

[realmcraft]

So first what would be some of the softess poly. Not looking for something that would last or anything. Im willing to restring it about once every two days+
Keep in mind that i would be using a hybrid. NXT Max in the crosses and possible a poly in the mains.

How would the Babolat RPM Blast work as far as comfort?
Is luxilon m2 pro the softest luxilon?
Or the 4g?

Polystar Energy is the softest I've tried so far. Actually, it's been one of the few polys my arm has tolerated.

Luxilon Big Banger Original and Babolat Revenge are very soft strings.

Use the TW stiffness comparison calculator or the USRSA's comprehensive list of strings arranged by stiffness. Anything in the low 200s is probably as soft as you'll find (compare gut with a rating below 100 and Kevlar at 600+).

I still don't really understand the desire for "soft" polys. They're not meant to be soft... Solinco Tour Bite is a good string, Tour Bite Soft is eh.

BUT- you asked, so I'd offer up Polyfibre TCS, MSV Co-Focus Soft, or anything with stiffness ratings in their respective ranges.

Solinco Tour Bite Soft came out earlier this year and is quite a bit softer than all the other soft polys I've tried.

Tried a ton (not all soft)...SP Hextreme, PHT, Beast XP, Gosen's new ILD 16L, BBO, ALU Power...and my go to reel has been Topspin Cyber Blue 1.25. It's soft, great feel and spin....and I'm about to get another reel!

RPM blast is quite nice on the arm, at least for me and for my friends. It is on the "soft" side of poly. Black widow is one of the softest and it plays great for 4 hours; but bear in mind it is a strange soft, LOW powered string
