Can anyone compare these polys in terms of power, spin, durability, maintenance, and feel ??

Thanks in advance for sharing info.

Thanks, PED.
The thread provides good info in general, but I just wanted to compare them in particular string gauges (1.18 vs. 1.15).

I prefer the BA instead of the SPPP. BA is softer yet still crisp. It has more power as well; I almost feel like it plays a little thicker than it is- the string bed is still quite firm and that's a positive for me. The SPPP is very control oriented and the power is down over the BA. It is not low powered but you do need to generate a bit of pace on your own. I like SPPP and got good spin off of it as well, but when playing with it, I didn't have that " ah-ha" feeling that THIS IS THE STRING FOR ME. One positive is that it makes a nice cracking sound when you nail the sweet spot and that's not to be underrated ;) The 1.18 was really nice to start off with but after about a week of heavy hitting I cut them out as it started to feel a bit dead and the strings were moving around like crazy. I was using it as a hybrid with syn gut mains but the sppp moved around even more than usual. They are both class A strings and it's totally down to personal preference. Hope this helps a bit more. I was using them in a PDR btw at 55/57.
