What are the Best Value Poly Reels

Rookie
I recently got a better stringer and have been looking into some reels to buy both for personal use and for some of my friends who will also want me to start restringing their racquets. I have played with plenty of poly strings and some of my favorite are Yonex PTP, Yonex PTS, Black Widow, TB 16L, and RPM blast. I am looking mostly for the best value. I love the way the yonex strings play but they are not available in reels. TW said they were going to start carrying the Yonex PTP in black on 9/27 but I do not know how much it is going to be. I was hoping to get 1-3 reels and hopefully not spend more than 150 on any one reel.

Thank you in advance for your help
 
I think TB is more stiff and has better spin.
The MSV CO-Focus is a softer poly that is livelier that
is great with Gut. You can have Gut in the mains or crosses with this string.
For the value, it is a great buy here.
You will get some spin with MSV CO-Focus then.
 
I know that lux is super costly and it dies fast, but it is so hard to break. so it last like forever in a mid size frame. great value.
 
djNEiGht TW has the reels of pink buy one get another free.

also check out mamba strings


Which mamba strings do you think would be the best? The original black mamba or the gear twisted?
 
I just got a IsoSpeed Baseline 16L reel to try out as a cross in a multi/poly hybrid.

The pink Volkl Cyclone is sold out/out of stock. It was $50 a few weeks ago during Happy Hour then BOGO. Now out.
 
Polyon yellow. I don't care who says it's crap, it plays great at a low tension extremely cheap great spin, and control! I am about a 5.5 and IMHO it plays better than tour bite, BHBR, BHB7, and ALU Rough. I'm still trying tour bite so maybe I'll change my mind, but so far I play much better with polyon.

make sure you string it real low for the best results. I use it at 43 in a blade 98 18x20. You have to restring fairly often for best performance, but its so cheap!
 
I have a reel of Isospeed Baseline 16L for any of my clients who need a poly in their gear and I've caught only good feedback on it so far (not a poly user myself). Before that, I had a reel of Polylon 17 for any basic hybrids and even though that stuff is an earlier generation of poly, it also did quite well at the right tension.

I'll probably grab a reel of the Isospeed in 17 ga. pretty soon, just because the poly is a tougher string type and I've seen a few hitters who really enjoy a thinner option in their mains.
 
Thanks guys. I think I'll try some of the ones listed in individual packs then buy a reel of my favorite. Thanks again for the help.
