topspin cyber flash real stifness

[Maloya]

hello, I'm looking for a soft poly, and I'm reading a little bit of everything and its opposite about topspin cyberflash.

I read on certain data a stiffness of 244 to 260 for 1.20mm to 1.30mm while on the string tool tennis warehouse it is noted 144 for version 1.20. what is the most reliable data?
and still on the comparison tool, from TW, I therefore find the cyberflash 1.20mm rated at 144 in terms of stiffness, and a multi like head rip 16 at 157 in stiffness?
Does this seem consistent to you or is there an error on TW's part?

144 seems very low to me for a co-poly

Seems about right to me.

CF plays crisp like most silver strings, but is arm friendly. I only played the 17L version.

Dont pay too much attention to data. Many inconsistencies in TW data especially old stuff.

The tension you string at is also quite important. CF 1.20 (only one I have tried and love) definitely didnt feel as soft as the number would seem go indicate but it was soft and comfortable AND big bonus did not feel cheap or plasticy.

Its a little vague in some rackets but there is no perfect poly anyway.

thank you.
and between the cyber flash and the cyber blue, which one is more comfortable for the arm? in 1.20mm

I tried both in 1.25 and CB is more comfortable by far.
I’ve said it many times, there’s something very wrong with the stiffness listed for CF on TWU. For me it’s definitely 220+ based on comparables. It’s not a bad feeling string by any means but it’s very stiff. For reference, racquetpedia has it at about the same stiffness as Babolat RPM blast 1.25 which is listed at 234 lbs/in on TWU.

Cyber Flash 1.25 is the stiffest silver/grey string I've used so far and trust me, I've played many.

Cyber Blue is the better option in my opinion as well. Cyber Flash isn't a bad string, but it seemed to be more tension sensitive to me and would lose it's resiliency at some point as it was losing it's tension. If you are regularly breaking it then once you get your tension right it can be a good setup, breaking near the point it dies, but after going through a reel of it I didn't like it enough to reorder it. There have been so many better strings that have come out since it was released I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone at this point. Cyber Blue I think is still worth trying for many people especially if you like the color.

Probably a typo. Maybe it's 244... maybe.

No it is right. It is isn't that stiff. It is not as stiff is stiff as Tourna Big Hitter Silver 17.

You're right. Just checked Compare Strings tool and looks like OP lies

Cyber Blue is a GREAT comfortable stiff power poly... in my top 3 easy...

The Tale of 2 Cyberflashes

This data should clearly illustrate why people have such widely different opinions of CF. Its almost like the 1.20 is a different string than then 1.25 - just extruding thicker string shouldnt cause so much variation.
