Suggestions for hybrid string

[romainjub]

Hello, sorry for the translation, I'm french

Following a small injury (gardening + tennis), I want to play with my old racquets Head radical OS 690 (trisys 260), less rigid than the pure aero and no longer play with a full mono but with a hybrid mono / synthetic gut.

BUT as this racket has a large size, a suggested tension between 58 and 68lbs (27kg to 31kg), and that I lift a lot, I have trouble finding the right choice ... Can I string with a mono to 53lbs (24kg) and a synthetic gut at 58lbs (26kg) for exemple ?

yes, that's a good start 53/58, poly/syn.gut, 17g/16g
I like to stay within 5lbs from mains/crosses,, soo that's a good range, in my opinion
you will need to see if "you", like it at that tension

ok thank's, it's a good start !

finally, I will choose a standard that works : LXL Alu Power And BB VS Touch.

I thought it was very expensive, but thinking about it, not that much because I install the strings myself (I do not know the word to say that) and it's a durable combo

The best price i found is :

- 220€ (246,61$) for 220m (720ft) Luxilon BB Alu Power 1,25 (17), so 1€ per meter. I need 6,2 meters for main strings : 6.20 € (6,95$)

- BB VS Touch - 6 mètres (20ft) - 1.30mm ( 16 ) : 18,90 € (21,19$)

So for 25,10€ (28,14$), I have a top hybrid and durable .

I may also try the Weiss Cannon Silverstring

This configuration will be tested on BB AeroPro and Head radical OS Twintube.

look around you can get these strings a lot cheaper than that in Europe...

Good news ! i hope so. i have to look the shipping cost too

Just as an fyi, you may want to consider putting the gut in the mains and poly in the crosses. You'll have a plusher feel but still maintain good spin potential. Considering your arm issues this may be a good approach and is what a majority of hybrid users opt to do.

you'r right, I thought the opposite but I have read this morning your advice on other forum post. It is also more logical since the crosses must have a lower tension than the main strings, and the mono also. The shipping cost were free. I'm waiting for my strings

I'm disappointed, for the main string, the babolat VS will be too short of 1ft. I tested with my BB Blast and I need a starting clamp to do the bridge for the 2 last main.
I think it's going to be hard to make the knots.

For those who ask the question, the length is finally sufficient. We must make a bridge with the clamp for the last string and it is just enough fot the knots Attention, the nat gut is fragile!
