Solinco Tour Bite 17 and Gosen OG Sheep 17 in a hybrid

[crobison]

I am currently using Solinco Tour Bite Soft 17g at 50lbs, on a Wilson Pro Staff 97 v.13, love this string. I wanted to experiment with something similar to the Wilson offering of Champions Choice, the price for the Champions Choice is excessive.
I was thinking something like Solinco Tour Bite (Normal) 17g at 50lb with Gosen Og Sheep 17g at 52lbs any other alternatives would be appreciated..

Champions Choice uses NG mains and Alu crosses. You want a powerful multi in the mains and a relatively powerful round poly in the cross. You could use medium powered multi but then I don’t think performance will be same. YMMV

I played with Pro's Pro Blackout 1.28 mm with Gosen OG Sheep Natural 17g at 48/50 lbs. I really liked it. I even tried Tourna Big Hitter Blue 16 and Head Sonic Pro Edge 16 with the gosen and it was still comfy setp with good feel and spin.

I played with the setup I mentioned above and found that I have to limit my swing, because the ball flies, the plushness of the this hybrid mix is nice on the arm. But I am unable to take full cuts at the ball, for fear of it flying on me. Now I have Gosen OG sheep 17g at 52 on the mains and Solinco Tour Bite 17g in the crosses, thinking of changing around the main and horizontal strings.

I literally just hit with tour bite mains and OG sheep crosses yesterday haha. To me the crosses make the least difference. Softer crosses are always a plus for me. I really cannot tell the difference between the different multis. The Tour bite has good ball bite, and solid spin. It's a hair stiffer than strings like hyper G and Volkl Cyclone.
I personally have never felt full poly gives me anything extra over poly/multi or syn gut.

Thanks for that info.
