String for 11 year old junior

I don’t think it would work. Both syngut strings are soft, only PSGD has a coating. In any case, string SnapBack is not important at the junior level. My daughter only complains that older notched strings cause a “clicking” sound, but it does not affect her strokes.
Black OGSM feels like a soft poly

My son (junior 11 years old) is competing with Wilson Clash 26” https://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Wilson_Clash_26_Junior/descpageRCWILSON-WC26JR.html

We are very satisfied with the racquet performance & it’s good for his arm, elbow & shoulder...

We have Volkl Cyclone 1.25/17 https://www.tenniswarehouse-europe.com/Volkl_Cyclone_125_17_String/descpageACVOLKLGH-VC17S-EN.html on it...22/21 string tension but we noticed that we would need some more advanced string for approx. 2-3 years so that he learns even better tennis technique ...also Cyclone looks dead after some time so not sure this is really good then for arm, elbow & shoulder...

Any good experienced advice for the string & tension for my son’s Clash 26”? That would be great to learn tennis technique & it’s arm friendly?
Maybe to turn to e.g. Wilson Sensation 1.30/16 or hybrid Volkl Cyclone + Wilson Sensation?

So, basically we are considering string switch from poly (Volkl Cyclone) to multifilament or hybrid so that my son works more/better on tennis technique within next 2-3 years since he is currently excellent junior competitor...so we need some excellent spin string that would also prevent arm, elbow, shoulder injuries too...thinner than current 1.25/17 poly is also an option.
After these 2-3 years of using multifilament or hybrid - he would switch it back to poly

Thanks!
