String Suggestion

[tennisplayer0000]

Hello, im getting new strings and I am not sure which strings are best for me. I am a highschooler playing varsity. I play with Babolat aeropro drive cortex and I am an offensive baseliner using semi-western grip. What I need is a string that has control and durability. I can easily generate my own power and with the strings i have (pro hurricane and prince synthetic gut) that lost all the tension, most of my "power and aggressive" shots are going out. As a result, i need strings that have EXCELLENT control and tension stability. People have recommended me Luxilon Big Banger ALU Power, Gamma Zo Tour, Babolat RPM Blast, Weiss Cannon scorpion, technifibre BiOne Xphase Red, but i have no idea which one is the best for me. (I usually string my racquet at 60-63lbs and I use different strings for main and cross) Thanks.

Do you string for yourself now? Sounds like you are headed in that direction, and should be.

ashaway kev. 16g/alu for spin and dur.

Team vs 17g/blackcode for control

Tour bite/gut for power and spin

None of these are good in terms of relative tension maintenance because they will be uneven due to the fact that these all lose tensino at different rates. The best option in my opinion is Signum Pro Poly Plasma, because it has amazing tension maintenance...

That's why I restring the crosses after they go loose when using the gut as main. sppp is great for tension, but it's a dead string, with little feel or power, best used as a tension maint. cross. The whole point of hybrids is to get the best of both worlds, hard and soft. If you have not tried any of these, then why bother commenting on them?

Fed: vs (wilson)/alu rough Murray: alu smooth/vs Joker: vs/alu Roddick: pht/vs Haas: vs/alu Hewitt: vs/alu etc. Cilic: alu/vs and vs/alu back and forth. Delpo: alu/alu 62lbs. Tsonga: rpm and now back to alu Rafa: rpm Davydenko: polystar energy Soderling: alu at 21kg. Berdych: alu/alu All the uber hitters use straight alu: Sod, Delpo, Berdych: alu at 28/26kg, purple lux. dampener.

Another uber hitter who beat fed this year as well: Gulbis alu/alu. (Was using poly force extreme.) All tall, huge hitters, all using straight alu smooth with control sticks. Sod at 21 kg pt57a. Gulbis: pt57E Berdych: tgk 260.2 Delpo: wilson six one 95. Fed needs to switch to a higher tension. 46lbs is too low, even with 1/2hr of hitting.

I don't care what pros use, I use what's best for me. As everyone else should...

I think I am going to try Weiss Cannon Scorpion and Luxilon BB ALu Power at 61lbs, but thanks for the suggestions
