What synthetic gut would you use in the crosses, is the 15L Synthetic Gut that Tecnifibre sells good for it, or would you recomend more, like the E-Matrix?
Also he's looking for something that'll play as good as the Intellistring, he still hasn't found any that's played as well. So something durable, but not stiff as a board.
The Maxipower/Red Code sounds the most like RIP Power, and the 515 sounds the most like RIP Control, or would the synthetic gut work better?
Simply put, you're not going to find something very, very similar to head intellistring. The closest thing would be Isospeed professional.
In the tecnifibre line, some strings that MAY replicate the feel (slightly) are Promix, Multi-Feel, and possibly TRC. The Intellistring/isospeed line(s) are pretty unique in construction, thus giving some pretty unique play characteristics as well. I think multifeel/Promix might give a similar slightly muted feel, while staying on the control side. I'd imagine spin production on these two strings to be slightly less, though. The 515 is NOT what you're looking for. That is considered to be a premium multifilament that is very soft/"mushy" in play.
The Spinfire is kind of close in theory, but I think you will find it plays pretty differently. If you use E-matrix, don't bother in the crosses, it will shred quickly. I suggest the Multi-feel in a cross if you want to use a multi, it is SURPRISINGLY durable for it's gauge. It might soften up the spinfire to the point where it resembles something like an isospeed string. Either way your criteria is tough to match, just due to the unique construction of polyolefin ribbon style strings.
