PR 1.28 Vs PR 1.28/GW 1.27

-GW takes away many of PR vibrations. More soft feel but less connected.
-Hybrid reminded me the feel of strings like Lynx Touch.
-Definitely less power (more evident while on defence) and less spin/launch.
-If you go for it could give you more power on flat serve but in general full bed could produce a heavier and meaner ball.
-I couldn’t change directions with ease….. maybe because the hybrid has less byte and grab in general.
-Dwell time of those 2 is very different. Full bed more responsive.

If full bed gave me arm pain i would consider the hybrid. Very sweat and lovely setup but full bed gives more connection with the ball and as a result more confidence of what’s going on.

Next test: 1.28PR Vs 1.28/1.23

Playtest update:

Played 10 hours total so far (incl 2 more UTR matches):

- Overall mixed feelings (PR @ 46 in Gravity Tour)
- Comfortable and hits a heavy ball
- Serves still don’t feel great (lack of spin) but looking at video my opponent took they’re about as effective as my regular
- I use slice backhand a lot and it feels compromised
- Feels too powerful / too much pocketing (eg reacting to hard hit return).

What I’m thinking next:
- Have BK 1.23 on the way (like the color and “less elastic PR” someone called it sounds appealing)
- Could try PR 1.23 crossed with something stiffer as @Trip recommended; or just string it higher, say @49
- Could try PR 1.28 (since it’s comfortable the beefiness tradeoff might be fine) @Blade_X experience is encouraging
- To complicate matters I’m also considering a switch to Gravity Pro (at least for set1 of matches lol)

Here’s a video of playing a match with PR123:
 
1.28PR Vs 1.28/1.23PR

I thought differences would be insignificant but i was wrong. Hybrid offers:

-Less stiffness which was instantly evident in my arm.
-More spin
-Not so lively like 1.23 but not so dead like 1.28. It plays like a more controlled / solid 1.23.
-More plush and more soft feeling in contact.
-Less SW. A bonus to me because i didn’t want to remove lead from my racquet.

Playtest over. If i ll keep using PR it would be only this hybrid. Easy choice.

It’s a blend of mega tac / solinco wonder. Wilson pro / super grap are different and less tacky.

Have you tried all 3 of their versions? Elite, Tru Tack, GripnRip? I have been going down a rabbit hole of overgrips where I am looking for the Tackyness of Mega Tac that doesn't turn slippery the second your hand sweats

I only tried elite because it was a present for my PR purchase. I am currently re-trying most overgrips (even nordicdots one) in the market. Haven’t settled yet.

Yes same with me, and will definitely try the elite per your recommendation. Currently experimenting with R2P Pro Tac with good results but open to any suggestions that meet the criteria of super tacky/sweat absorbing
 
For the Pure Rush users...
How many hours of playability do you get out of it? In terms of elasticity and snapback? Like how long before they feel dead?

And how is tension maintenance?

(I can play longer with lower tensions, but once my polys are "dead" no more elasticity, I can't play with them)

I’d also like to know this. I’m comparing it to Cyclone which I feel dies too quickly.

Does anyone in here do poly mains, multi crosses? That’s my plan for pure rush. Curious if anyone has tried it.

It feels good. For a multi cross, it’s surprisingly crisp with less ball pocketing. Stiffer than cyclone similar spin and power.

I’ll try a full bed next.

If you hit decently hard with spin you will likely snap the multi crosses pretty quick. PR isn't super sharp, but it's edges will dig in quick.

As a former full-bed Cyclone user who has fairly recently switched to full-bed PR, I’ve found the durability better and also found the break-in much shorter with PR. I also feel like when it does go, it doesn’t die in such a problematic way as Cyclone - if I need to squeeze a few extra sessions out of PR, it doesn’t seem to be as big of a drop-off in performance or comfort as I found with cyclone. Not sure what would explain that mechanically, maybe that’s just part of better durability in general, ymmv, etc, but it’s been a nice perk for me.
 
Finally got some extended time to play with Pure Rush 1.23. Few things to note before I continue, where I am winter is coming up fast so weather is constantly 40-48 degrees (Fahrenheit). Balls are really fast and don't bounce much as the air is dry and cold.

Also if it matters, I'm a 4.5 that used to play eastern forehand with OHBH. I now use THBH and extreme eastern (*EE) forehand depending but can also hit 3/4 western (I call it extreme semi *ES) depending on the playstyle I want or the player I'm up against. I'll refer back to this that's why.

Power: I would say slightly above average for a poly. I came from softer strings like Prince Vortex, Cyclone Tour, BHB7, and Black Widow and those are about as powerful as poly's get. PR to me is just a tad below but still offers really good pop. You can really feel the balls penetrate the court when hitting more linear and if you hit under the ball more, you really get some good depth. The strings help a lot on defense and as long as you make fairly clean contact, there's usually enough pace to get you back into the point. When you really accelerate on the ball there's plenty of pop. When hitting with my *EE forehand it really traveled through the court allowing me to dictate points. Even when I was patiently constructing points, the power was there even if I wasn't fully committing to the shot. On my *ES forehand much the same but if you're more of a baseliner man this string is fun to just stand and bang. Good depth to really push your opponent back and when you slap and flatten it out it really zooms. Makes you want to just keep ripping even if it's down the center. Though there are some negatives which I'll touch on later. If I had to rate it, 8.25/10 for a poly.


Spin: Spin was a little interesting for me. It has loads on spin despite not being aggressively shaped, nor does it have "insane snapback". I found that PR has this extra gear for spin but in order to access it you have to really ramp up your racket head speed. When hitting with my THBH, EE and ES spin was great off both wings. EE forehand had much cleaner tight spin while ES had that loopy heavy spin. Also a good string for OHBH'ers looking for a little more spin without the "lift" that comes with more shaped polys. This will sound like common sense but when you really accelerate and brush the ball hard there's pretty crazy levels of spin. Sometimes when I buggy whip or kick serve the ball jumps much more than me or my opponent would anticipate. Despite this, I would not say this is a knock or a negative inconsistent property. More like it has great levels of spin all the time but sometimes it had awesome levels of spin, without over spinning making it short and weak. It's more like I go to hit a normal shot but sometimes the string enhances the spin while still keeping the same penetration and power. I don't know if anyone else experience this but I sure did. Overall spin would be 9/10.

Control: Control was also very solid but not perfect. If you're a big hitter this probably isn't the string for you. Yes it has great control (especially when fresh), but remember that negative I said earlier, well that's for the control. Because it has so much power, yes it's there when you're on the defense but when you're not, it can make you overhit. Not super often but every now and then an aggressive approach shot or an aggressive defense shot will sail just deep or just wide. Basically what I'm saying is that pop is great when you need it, but it's also there when you don't need it. For reference something I would put higher for control is something like S7T but that's much more stiff and less comfortable. But I will add that the first 2-4 hours I hit with this string when it was fresh, I feel like I couldn't miss. I could put the ball anywhere as long as my technique allowed it. I'll give it a 8/10.

Playability: Despite everything I said earlier I actually think playability is one of PR's best qualities. Everyone is different but my experience with it was that it had a very gradual decline in it's performance. I'll try my best to explain it's degradation over time. First day right off the stringer 100% of its characteristics, hit for about 2 hours (Didn't feel there was a break in period). Second day I found the string started at 90% the quality it was the day before. After about 1.5 hours of hitting it felt like the last 15-20 minutes or so it was at about 85% of it's original quality. Sat in my bag for a day as I hit with it the following day so maybe a variable there, but third outing with it I would say it started off at 70%-75% of what it was and by the end of that 2 hour session it felt about 60%. Pretty much remained and never really got worse even now at 10 hours and counting. With every outing there was barely any thing noticeable except a very small drop of spin and control. Weirdly enough, though some shots sailed (mostly deep and some wide), I never felt that as the tension dropped the power increased significantly. It was more that the directional control lessened but the power didn't increase much, can't really explain it other than how it literally sounds like. Maybe it was due to the lack of spin. YMMV depending on how intense your hitting sessions are. I give it a 8.5/10.

Other Notes: Was fantastic from the baseline in all areas. Volleys were also very good. Had good pop to punch volleys deep and put them away. Because it isn't overly shaped, I found I could put it where I wanted. Slices were nasty with PR. You could really knife them low and make them skid and defensive slices really neutralized rallies well. Serves were solid. Flat, Slice, and Kick serves all felt very good. But if you like more grip on your kick serves you will feel PR feels a tad slippery when you go to brush the ball. Returns felt really good. Because of the power you could really deflect the balls nice and deep and if you have good placement, it really rewards you for going for smaller targets. One last thing to note is the feel is right in between crisp and muted for me. Not super crisp like most silver strings, but more feel than something like Hyper G. Though it's fairly "soft" I still wouldn't recommend it if you have elbow issues, but it should be a viable option for many.

It's now my string of choice going forward as not only is it's performance good (for me) but the price isn't crazy. I hope my review was helpful or insightful to those who still haven't tried it.

What a great review
 
I agree with that review. I strung it at 39 pounds which I've been liking lately. Using a Prince Tour 100P. The string is great all around, with the power and spin as the standouts. It's nuts how my ball would so frequently drop right inside the baseline when I was thinking it'd sail 6 inches long (especially considering I was at 39 pounds).

I am surprised how it's not notching at all after 4 hours of playing.

I do worry it'll be one of those strings where the edges wear down over time, but it's feeling fine right now. I will check up after a couple more sets. That issue is why I don't use tour bite.

Also the string has no break in for me. I feels the same after 2 hours as it did new. Cannot say the same about other poly strings. I might try this with a round cross, but I really like the full bed and the color is sweet.

I might have missed it, but what racquet did you use it in? I liked the PR in a Blade 98 as it helped with giving a little more power, but not sure how it will work in the Vcore 98 I've switched to.

My setup is a customized Speed MP Aux 1.0 and it was strung at 48M and 46X. My brother who was also playtesting PR with me uses a customized Shift 99 (16x20 labs version) strung at 50M and 50X

I can’t stop playing with PR even if i have Gut/4G in my second blade. And that is a huge compliment for such a CHEAP poly. PR is very addictive. It defines the laws of mediocre control/feel/durability that shaped strings have compared to round ones. It really combines both of 2 worlds. It only looses (to gut hybrid) on volleys (not easy depth), feel and a little bit less weight behind the ball. Other than that its a lot better on slices (amazing control and depth), better while defending, better when putting more angle and opening the court more and I could say more control when going for it….. this string at least for my playstyle "it’s just works"….. like an iPhone :p

Best poly I tried since 4G and Lynx Tour.

I have found that PR plays great in the Blade as well and now use it exclusively. Adds a touch of power without being launchy, really good spin/control and has excellent feel. Bonus for me is it plays great off the stringer with no break-in. I prefer it as a hybrid with Ghostwire versus a full bed though.

Speaking of pure rush, I tried it again but with a different cross because I only had a half set left.

Putting Kirschbaum evolution in the crosses was ok. It’s round and seems slick, but holy cow it’s so much stiffer than I remembered. And I only string at 40 pounds. Makes me think the crosses matter more than the mains when it comes to comfort. I’m sure some people would love that though. If pure rush is too soft for you, it could be a good option. Plus you get to keep the blue color scheme.

I’ll stick to full bed though. This is a top tier string to me like Cyclone and Hyper-G.

While obviously not a hard and fast rule, I generally abide by: Mains for playability qualities, Crosses for Feel qualities. I'm still preferring to cross 17 Pure Rush with 17g Ghostwire, though full bed is also incredible in its own right
 
I also tried the 18g and i must say, i didn't like it as much as the 17g in my Ezone 100. It felt ok the first hour, but after that i had the feeling i didn't have control and balls were going long. Strung at 24 kg, full bed. Next stop is 17g main, with GW 17g in the cross.

What tension for each string in the hybrid?
 
So, my current set up - (been about 2 months now?) is the Blade V5 18x20, silicone in the handle to get to 340gm, at a 32 balance. Push Rush 1.18 44/42. Really just an amazing combination of feel power and control. Pure Rush adds both power, feel and spin to this setup. I find it better than the BK, Grey Fire I was using (which was also like 1.5 gms heavier.)

Pure Rush lasts about 6 hrs and then the spin on the balls noticeably drops. I think it is because the edges wear at that time. Then about another 2 hrs, and it gets less predictable. All of this is pretty excellent for an 18x20.

I put 1.23 PR into my sons Blade 100, at 48x46. He also really likes the feel, especially when serving.
 
First experience with Ghostwire 1.22 in the crosses with Lynx Tour. Should I string at the same tension as my mains or should I go a bit higher like a multi? Thanks for the help
