I tried doing a PR 17/GW 17 hybrid and have about 8 hours-ish with it. For anyone using the hybrid, how long has it lasted for you?
I feel like it started to get harder to produce the spin and control I wanted after maybe 5 hours. Tonight I checked the snapback and it was pretty loose. I usually have my strings at 52 lbs. I think this happened simarly with full bed of PR for me. Played so great initially, and I absolutely loved it. But then it tailed off when I hit about 8 hours and it was too hard to control. For comparison, I've had a full bed of Toro Toro in my back up racquet with probably about 12 hours of use but I still get a lot more spin and control than with the PR/GW setup now or full bed of PR. Comfort is still OK though. 8 hours isn't horrible, but I was hoping hybriding PR/GW would get me a just a little more mileage and last as long as my back up racquet.

probably about 8-10 hrs for 18g PR/18g GW. So you are right around that mark.

Pure Rush is a so much better hyper G in terms of feel, power , and control if you swing fast. I feel pure Rush is a Hyper G on steroids.
Black Knight is stiffer , lower power and less forgiving. Good control string with pop if your technique is clean.
Good options, but I would choose Pure Rush, more versatility on playing with it.
Hope that helps!
Similar experience for me (similar setup, PR 1.23/GW 1.17). I love how it plays for the first 4 hours, but around the 5th hour mark it starts to get loose and baggy for me, control is gone, shots become erratic. The comfort is still there and then I usually break the strings after 6-7 hours.
In comparison, Hyper G (1.20) lasts 8-9 hours for me and it more less keeps the characteristics throughout its life span. I like it less than Pure Rush in the first 4 hours.
I will now be trying O-toro, hopefully it will also be better than Hyper G and it performs well for at least 6 hours.
I tried O-Toro green when it came out and thought a full bed of Pure Rush felt more satisfying. I am also going to try O-Toro again, and later O-Toro Spin. When I first tried it, O-Toro felt boardy in the first hour or so whereas Pure Rush was ready to go from the start. I and my hitting partners thought the spin on O-Toro was massive. It felt like I had a the spin potential of a Pure Aero with my Pro Staff . I thought O-Toro lasted about 10 hours-ish before it started to lose control, but spin was still pretty good. Just my two cents. Now that Pure Rush 1.23 is back in stock though, I will likely be getting a reel of it after I try the O-Toros unless one of them surprises me. I'll just know now to restring it around 8 hours.
