The General HYBRID stringing advice thread !

If you are breaking your poly mains, 16g will give more durability and less spin unless you go to a shaped/textured string.
If they are dying quickly, gauge won't make much difference.
Some polys, like SPPP, just have better tension maintenace.
If you are leaving the poly in long enough to break the crosses, maybe you don't need to be using a poly/syn hybrid at all.
Which strings, specifically, are you using and how many hours do you expect them to last?

tour bite 17g mains, n.vy 16g crosses
I'm breaking crosses before replacing the poly.
It makes sense to me to use thick syn gut crosses or otherwise the poly mains will chew them quickly.
I am trying to understand why people advise thinner poly mains?
