Strings for Babolat Ps100 (2016)

[Babolix]

Hi !
I now play on the new babolat Pure Strike 100 and would like to know which strings you think fit this racquet best !
These days I play with Yonex Poly Tour Pro (What do you think about this setup?), a little powerful @ times.
I'm thinking about trying Hyper G, Revolve, MSV Focus Hex and maybe Kirschbaum P2. I know they are all different but... What do you think of this 5 strings on Ps100, what would be the different feels, results, up and lows ?

My buddy uses this and has done well with the Signum Pro Tornado, I know that sucker is pricy but all of the ones you mentioned are more/less in the same price range and definately worth trying!

Ok, I note that one. Thx.
And between the ones I mentioned any comparisons, feels, tastes ?

I've hit with the PS 100 since they came out. I've tried many different combinations but I'm really comfortable with a gut/poly combination. Good control and power and lasts longer than straight poly.

sounds like poly tour pro gives too much power so go with focus hex or hyper g which both will give more control than that.

I've had the ps100 for a couple of months and i love stringing it up with hyper g. It just feels great.

U r right ! The Yonex gives too much power ! I think I'll try he hyper g next ! Any opinion about revolve or revolve spin ?

Well, hyper G seems to be the right answer ! Thx. Which gauge / tension do you use ?

So far digging Wilson Revolve Spin 17ga on my 2016 PS98 16x19. Tried MSV Focus Hex, Technifibre Black Code 4S, the Revolve Spin so far on these racquets. I have a set of Hyper-G and Revolution that I'm eager to try, but I want to use up my Reel of Revolve Spin before I mess around with other strings. I'll probably keep two with my normal setup and use one for string experimenting.

I know it's in a different racquet, but here's a little comparison on my experience with these 3 strings with the Project One Seven"

All strings were used in the 17 guage version. 50-54lbs.

Power: MSV Focus Hex>Wilson Revolve Spin=TFBC4S
Spin: Revolve Spin>TFBC4S> MSV Focus Hex
Comfort: MSV Focus Hex=Wilson Revolve Spin>TFBC4S
Control: Revolve Spin>TFBC4S>MSV Focus Hex
Feel: Revolve Spin=TFBC4S=MSV Focus Hex

Overall: Wilson Revolve Spin for me. Hope this helps.

Of course, it helps !!! Thanx !!!
I think I'll focus on Hyper G and the new Revolve spin
Thanx for all that details ! (and don't forget to tell me your thoughts after trying HyperG)

I use 16L at 52 lbs

Ok ! Thx !!!

 

[bkirk]

Will do!

 

[Babolix]

Will do!

Hope to read it soon ! have a nice test

 

[kabrac]

I 2nd!! Good choices

 

[Babolix]

For the moment I've good feelings with PTP, maybe sometimes too powerfull and lacks of touch.
Next playtest I have to do : Revolve, Lynx, Hyper G, PLX, Revolution 18.

 

[projectone7]

I'd recommend the new RPM Blast Rough at 16L, but Hyper G is a great string not just for the Pure Strike, but like most rackets

 

[Babolix]

Yes If I return on structured polys, I'll go to Hyper G ! I don't know why this times but I always come back to round polys...

I've recently bought this racket stringed with RPM Blast at 22 kgs (48.5 lbs). Added 3 g to 3, 6 and 12 o'clock each. More stability, but enough power and head speed. Planning on buying cheaper strings like Cyber Spin. Have anyone tried smth similar?

 

[Babolix]

Don't know Cyber Spin... I'm still on PTP (good set up on Ps100, a little powerful) but then will try PLX or Lynx.

What tensions suits you best? Have you experimented with different tensions for mains and crosses?

You had me on that point ! Maybe I have to up the tension a little bit (I play around 50) since I think PTP is good but just too powerfull sometimes.
And my first thoughts (reviews) was for the black version that I didn't really like : stiffer, less tension maintenance and more power than the yellow that I prefer and like btw !

Shaped polys seemed to work nicely.

Which ones have you tried ?

On the PS 100 I borrowed from three friends. One had RPM Blast, another had Wilson Revolve Spin, and the third had Volkl Cyclone.

Approximately what tensions did you try?

I didn't set the tensions, but my friends had RPM at 53, Revolve Spin at 56, and Cyclone at 54 pounds.
