Otoro mains have crazy snap back when compared to tour sniper. Playing with otoro in the mains forces me to swing out and get control through heavy spin. Tour sniper is a solid string, but I currently prefer otoro right now.

Enso Pro has been a great option for me. I just recently tried O Toro Snap and it seems great too.
agree, but also people here seem to use so many racquets at the same time that it can get messy ahahha
Cross referencing my post in the other thread here, maybe you can offer some insight:

been playing with a bunch of different wasabi X cross hybrids Toro Toro 1.27 (matcha green) 57/54 Caviar 1.24 (neon yellow) 58/55 Wasabi 1.23 (neon green) 58/55 All pretty good so far https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zNd2xOHBEnjDh4GBmX61CA3QmXb4HGd32Xit-tx6KQY/edit?usp=drivesdk My arm...

PA98 user, I've gone with O-Toro in the mains and Snapper in the crosses both strung at 50lb. Good power and comfort, but spin modulation hasn't been great for me on groundstrokes. Could be just level related because I'm finding it hard to flick my wrist to generate even more topspin with this racquet, but I feel like I didn't have this issue with RPM Blast in a demo racquet. Might go O-Toro Tour and Wasabi X hybrid to make it a bit crisper than what I'm using while retaining the comfort profile hopefully, or might do Confidential x Wasabi X hybrid in the future

In my modded RF01 I have used Super Toro x Enso Pro, Otoro spin x Was X, Wasabi full bed Pink. ST x EP was great but a little too much launch for my taste and would have liked some more feel. OTS x WX had a too high a launch angle than I am comfortable with and just a little lacking in feel but otherwise good playability. At first I did not like wasabi at all and I strung it way to high at 54lbs, I left it in and as it rounded out a little more and lowered tension I loved the spin and power and control through spin, I found it very lacking in feel. I have some OTS, wasabi, half set of super toro, Otoro snap, and full sets of tru pro pure rush and tennis only P6. Any recs on next combo to try?
Had Mach 10 / Hyper G Round last week really liked it. I tried O toro / Enso yesterday at 42. First impression felt I had a little more control and pop ( sounds great ) coming off the Aero even with my dampner, usually do not hear that kind of pop with it on. Just hit with my wife said my backands were harder and more spin than usual, felt rest was similar. Playing doubles this morning, will see how that goes. So far so good, easy on the arm. I admit it is fun to play for a week or so and just try different things. Drives my wife nuts but its my vice.
Wanna just give an update after roughly 20 hrs of use on my PA98, the strings have settled in nicely. Still very comfortable, didn’t have any jarring issues like the racket feeling too stiff. Snapback is still good, although the main strings are starting to notch into my cross strings especially in the sweetspot. I think my initial complaint of spin modulation was both me getting used to the racket and just my level of play at that time lol. Currently I have good access and control to spin as long as I remember to hit through the ball and let my racket lag a bit. Power is also good, my serves have good pace and spin which is great. There are still times where I need a bit more control since the ball launches a bit too far, so I’ll probably string it 2-4lb heavier and see if I get a bit more control without sacrificing the comfort I get. Definitely a fun combo I’ll go back to after a bit of experimentation of string combos in my PA98
I just ordered two reels of Toroline strings (O-Toro Tour and Wasabi X), which I’m planning to test in various hybrid setups.
I noticed that most players here tend to make hybrids using different Toroline strings together, but rarely mix Toroline with poly string from other brands (i.e. "gen 2 polys")
Has anyone tried hybrids such as Luxilon Alu Power, Solinco Tour Bite, Solinco Confidential, Yonex Poly Tour Pro, or Yonex Poly Tour Strike in the mains with, for example, Toroline Wasabi X in the crosses? How did they perform?

I play regularly with Lynx Tour mains with toroline crosses (Enso pro, wasabi x, recently tried toro toro). It works great! Toroline are better crosses in general
I have used as a cross poly tour strike black 1.25, Luxilon 4G soft gold 1.25 and Tour bite round 1.25 with otoro tour 1.23 in mains. Tour bite round bit crisper and stiffer the pts, 4G soft felt clearly the worst one (disconnected etc). My vcore 98 tour stiffness RA 62 so I prefer crisper strings in this racquet. Currently using otoro tour 1.23 fullbed and liking it better than previous setups. Not really noticing that lauch angle is too high or ball impact is inconsistent. Full bed of otoro tour is very nice when hitting second serves, sharp edges really give good ball bite and I have the confidence to hit faster 2nd serves. 53/51 lbs otoro tour on vcore 98 tour (345g static weight and maybe 324 swingweight). Oh sorry, I answered concerning crosses not the mains. My bad
After a week of Toroline O Toro Mains/ Enso Pro in crosses going to cut them out . Not for me. I feel like a schizo Tennis player with this set up for some reason. Sometimes my shots go no where where I am hitting them , like way way off . Other times it is a great shot but was trying to hit it in another place. Maybe I just do not do well with many sided Main strings. Going to try YTEX Quadro Twist on Tuesday see how that plays even though also sided... Last play test with these type of strings. Any suggestion for a nice not to still string to put on a Pure Aero. I am over this.

Yes. It’s great. Try prestretching 5%
Absolute is almost like gut. It’s how I think synthetic gut should be
Have a racquet with it now

I usually play with Grapplesnake M8 full bed in my Pure Aero 98.
Today I tested a hybrid of O-Toro and O-Toro Snap. Very interesting. I felt immediately very connected to the ball, good feel, more elastic, a bit higher launch angle but I got used to it fast. I really enjoyed it and will play more with it.
