Solinco Tour Bite vs Hyper-G vs Diamond Rough?

I am confused with Solinco Tour Bite vs Hyper-G vs Diamond Rough, would anything share their experience of them in terms of spin and feel and tension retention? Durablity is less of a factor for me.

I've only used tourbite and hyper g. Both have similar spin and tension retention. However, tourbite has slightly more spin and tension retention from my experiences. Hyper g is slightly softer and more muted tho.

tourbite soft becomes kind of hot during hot summer.... launch angle seem to be too high in hot summer time... why is that ?

I've used tourbite and hyper g on and off the last years. Hyper g is more poppy, has more feel, tour bite more stiff which I prefer. Just put it in my Pure Aero tour after starting wit hyper g in that frame, hope it will temper the power a bit.

i used tour bite 17 and hyper G 17 in my 2017 PS97s at 48#
i cut out the hyperG after playing 2 times because i thought it was way too mushy
other people suggested to up the tension, so i will try it again at 52# when i wear out
the TB17.
comparatively, the TB17 feels stiffer and livelier, but i havent given up on the hyperG yet
i will also try Solinco Revolution which is supposedly stiffer than HyperG but softer than TB17
i was told that hyperG was more powerful, but i thought it played about the same as the TB17
but had less "feel" and was more muted "to me that meant mushy"

i think the TB17 will last me 2 months, so i can let you know at the beginning of June which would be 2 months
in my racquets
i havent tried diamond rough in these racquets so i dont have any feedback

i have tried luxilon alu power fluro 17 in my 2017 PS97s, and the TB17 seems stiffer and has more feel to me than
the lux alupower, which i thought played very well
not sure, but i am probably going to convert over to the TB17 for cost considerations, as the TB17 is much less
and gives me virtually the same performance

i still have lux in my older 2015 PS97s which seem softer, but play just as well as the 2017 PS97s

i restrung one of my 2015 PS97s with HyperG17 @52#, once the strings broke in, about 1 hr hitting, i get more "pop"
on my groundies and serve. i can "feel" the ball coming off the stringbed faster,
my new PS97s have TB17, and they are definitely stiffer feeling, not as much power, but more control
even though they are a month old, and strung at a lower tension.

i will try revolution in the next restringing cycle

Have been switching between Hyper G and Diamond Rough. Both great strings. HG gives me more feel and pop especially on serve. DR gives me a tad more top spin and control. Whenever I play with one, I sort of miss the other! . Anyway, both very good strings

I have used all of these. Tour bite first then diamond rough. I am currently playing hyper g and revolutions in my rackets.
By far hyper g is my go to string and depending who I play I will use the revolution. I can hit the ball hard and have great control and feel confident where I hit and how.
I play 3.5 tournaments and also play my friends who are 4.0. I can hit strong shots with them and feel like I have good control on my shots.
I get best spin from hyper than the others. I play full bed with both strings.. no arm issues.

How about hybriding them both and try to get the best of both?
