Stiffness Measure for Discho Microfibre 16 or 17

I am curious about the stiffness measure and the tension loss measure of this string (Discho Microfibre 16 or 17).

I have tried to research, but I can't find. I emailed Mamba and they didn't seem to know.

Thank you for the help and any other feedback on how this string plays and compares to others would be of interest. Thank you Mikeler and others.

I've never found anything on it or on Signum Pro Micronite which seems like the same string to me (maybe there are slight gauge differences).

Stiffness and Tension Loss

Until measures are determined, any comments on what Discho Microfibre feels similar to regarding stiffness and if you think it is soft, moderate, or stiff for a multi would be interesting to me - trying to prioritize what to buy and try first.

It is a softer multi. I can't really think of anything similar enough to compare it to.

I don't know the data. Empirically it holds tension very well, better than almost any other synthetic. It's durable at least for my game.

It's very soft. Low-medium power for a multifilament. It has little spin, but plays awesome for flat hitters. It makes a great popping sound. The strings lock together, you can't even separate them with your fingers. Very unique.

Plays great in my prestige mid, but horrible in my midplus because of its low spin capability.

I played the 17 @56. I found that it was very comfortable for flat shots. But because the strings lock into eachother (gummy PU texture), they don't move to create spin. Hitting a low to high stroke with this string was one of the factors that gave me a mild case of TE that isn't going away. The stringbed feels like two different sets of string depending on if you're hitting flat or if you come at the ball from an angle. Making contact at an angle feels very solid.

If I had to choose a comparison string, I would say NXT Control when hitting flat. But the Microfiber comes in 17g.
