String hybrid question

[njhmusicman]

Hi guys! So right now in my Wilson Prostaff 85 racket, I am enjoying head velocity MLT 16 gauge at 55 pounds. It gives me good comfort, power, and control but I’m lacking in a little bit of the spin because it is a multi and not like a shaped polyester string. Durability is not the best either. I just got some sets of ghost wire from tier 1 sports in the 17 and 18 gauge and I was thinking about hybriding ghost wire with head velocity MLT but I’m not sure which one I should put in the mains or the crosses and at what tension. The main benefits I’m looking for is similar comfort to a full bed I’ve had with head velocity MLT with a little bit added spin and durability. Thanks!

I personally would opt for Velocity mains, Ghost Wire 17ga crosses... 55/51?

So basically keep velocity in the mains at the same tension I have it as a full bed and then put ghost wire in the crisis at 4 pounds looser?

Velocity Cream is a popular alternative to the above. These strings pair really well together for some reason.

Thanks, I’ll have to try that!
