What (similar) strings have greater longevity than YPTP 1.20 MM?

[huberns92]

I'm using YPTP 17 (52 lbs) and like it, but the strings dies quickly and it's frustrating. I have to restring every 2 weeks (roughly 6-8 hours) because I have a sensitive elbow. This isn't a problem because I string my own rackets, but I'd like to restring less frequently if possible.

I'm looking for soft co-poly suggestions that play similar to YPTP AND die less quickly. I know this is characteristic of Polys, but something that lasted 10-15 hours would be ideal.

Cyclone tour 16g. More livelier.. but soft, has power and spin, no problems getting 15-20hrs or until it breaks.

Head hawk power, I was playing YPTP 1.25 and I did the Tennis Warehouse Playtest and I really liked this string.

@huberns92 - Presuming you want round and similar gauge, the best choices would be Genesis Black Magic 1.23 or Diadem Flash 1.20. I've played both and they are very PTP-like but with better durability and tension maintenance. RacketPedia comparison below (click to enlarge); notice how Power Level, Resilience and Elasticity are basically identical, which means overall behavior will be very close.

I used both. They are very different strings. Hawk Power lasted me 6 hours max with good feel and it's stiffer than PTP 1.25. I would prefer PTP to Hawk Power. Rev is a good option.
