Stringing recommendations for kBlade98, kProTour and Head MG Prestige MP

I'd like some stringing recommendations for these two racquets. I am fairly weak in hands/arms but adequately fit in general. I'd prefer a multifilament string because I read that they are soft but offer nice feeling too.
For the Wilson KBlade98 I'd go for K-Gut Pro, NXT Tour or NXT Max. Recommended stringing tension for the kBlade98 is 50-60 lbs. So 55 would be ok for someone not that strong? I am a beginner to intermediate player... I read that multifilament strings lose a couple of lbs immediately after stringing. I should go for 57lbs?

And for the Head MicroGel Prestige MP ( 98 ) what would you recommend?
Thank you...

kProTour added! Less powerful racquet than the kBlade 98 so a multi again but looser tension?

Ok first of all do not go with the Kgut because in my experience it is hard to control when it is not a hybrid. I used to string with NXT Max and really liked the feel. I really dislike the MG Radical and never played with it thoroughly so i have no recommendations. Same strings for the Kbalde tour. I suggest that you try a hybrid with a powerful string such as Pro Hurricane Tour. Also, definately build up your body you will be surprised how fast you will improve and it opens up a lot more string set ups.

You mean both the K gut and the K Gut pro?

I used to string with NXT Max and really liked the feel.

I am not that strong so I think a thinner string would be better. NXT max 17 gauge?

I really dislike the MG Radical and never played with it thoroughly so i have no recommendations.

I am interested in the MG Prestige MP not the Radical.

Same strings for the Kbalde tour. I suggest that you try a hybrid with a powerful string such as Pro Hurricane Tour. Also, definately build up your body you will be surprised how fast you will improve and it opens up a lot more string set ups.

I am interested in the KBlade 98 and the KPro Tour not the KBlade Tour.

Thanks for the recommendations. When you say hybrid you mean Poly with multifilament string? To mix 2 different kind of strings? I would like to avoid a Poly string because I keep reading that it is for more powerful and advanced players.

The K gut and K gut pro are too bouncy off the strings for me if not a hybrid. Hybrid being two different strings mixed. The NXT Max 17 should be good. I dont necessarily know if it is for just advanced players, but if you would like to try it I would definitely drop the tension of the polys by probably 5 pounds or so.(so its not a board) The same strings should be good for the Kpro Tour sorry about the confusion. Ok and I just hit with the Prestige...I am sort of let down by it, I was a prestige and prestige fxp fan, but i just don't like the feeling of the metal composition they use know and I feel that if you want more pop on your shots, your best bet is the Kblade 98. Let me know what you decide or if you have more questions.

I already ordered the KPro Tour and I am going for the KBlade98 during the Christmas holidays.

Thinking of Tecnifibre X-1 Biphase, NRG2 and Babolat Xcel Power.
17 gauge for the 16x20 KproTour and 18gauge for the 18x20 KBlade 98.

I read somewhere that when you opt for a 18gauge string, you should string the crosses 4lbs tighter so that the strings do not move that much.

Well congrats on your new racquet! I would go with the Biphase its a very solid string. When and if you decided to wanna transition to the polys let me know ill help you with string choice based on your game if you would like. I believe it is 4-5 pounds so yea go with 4 so you don't accidentally pop the strings too soon. Have fun! Let me know if i can help!

try some natural gut. natural gut doesn't really lose tension and its nice and soft. take the dive and you will be happy you spent $15 more
