True. You may still want to look just at Kirschbaum Smash Honey then. Although it's been around a while, Kirschbaum pre-stretch their polys and I have a former college player I string for that uses the 16g in a Prestige Mid. He hits a heavy ball and the string plays dead and controlled for him from start to finish, which sometimes can be over a month of really intense hitting.
While most tt.tw people will say how terrible it is to play with poly for more than a week or two (which is definitely true for certain polys and playstyles), I'm sometimes shaken out of that mentality when watching a small few really good players (who have played high level 'real' tennis) use their poly for much longer than that, and never talk about their strings' "resilience" or "snap-back". They just go and play tennis and take names. They also usually are still using 'outdated' strings and racquets, wiping the courts with guys using the "latest technology".
I'm not saying we all should use Mids from the 90s and POSG, but sometimes the hunt for the latest and greatest can cloud our perceptions on how to improve our games, and often a cheaper, older string can perform just as good as the expensive new ones.
