What's better than full bed Confidential?

It is quantum superposition. One does not know if the string will be too powerful or underpowered until hitting the ball.
To me a low powered string can't be a powerful string and vice versa. I would understand if someone said that's not too low powerful or medium low powerful but not the extreme.

Anyone tried hybrid confidential with multi like x-one biphase?
I really like the feeling, spin potential of confidential but I have shoulder issue. so I'm looking for arm/shoulder friendly setting of confidential with a little bit more power.

Try Hyper-G soft. Definitely less harsh and more powerful. You may have to change tensions a bit to get the same feel off the strings but spin capability is roughly equal despite the extra bit of added power.

I'm mostly playing with Solinco Confidential 125mm. on my Blade V7 (16x19), 98" which I string @ 24/23kg.
I like this in a full bed, but wonder if I could get even better performance with:
1. Hybrid? What would you suggest to cross it with? at what tension?
2. Thinner gauge? How thin?
3. Any other strings to test?

About my game:
I play at NTRP 4.0 level, win some local tournaments now and then. Been playing from childhood with some major pauses. Got a big first serve, second kick, a lot of topspin(coach says to much) on my FH, quite flat OHBH

i am hoping Confidential 3.0 will be better. haven't played with it yet, but will soon.

Grapplesnake Tour Sniper full bed or hybrid with confidential. I'm currently using Confidential 17g in the mains with Genesis Hexonic Power 16L in the crosses and loving it. Had a full bed of Hexonic Power 16L in a Pure Areo and it was a rocket launcher. Confidential in the mains calmed that down and gave me more control with a little less power.

I quite like Dunlop Black Widow, on it's own, or crossed with Technifibre 4S, or crossed with Triax. the BW/4S cross is an odd one as you would think it will notch easily, but I got many hours out of that set up (Ultra Tour 2.0 which is a bit more closed than your racquet). Black Widow on it's own is not so bad on the arm, either, about the same as Confidential. The Triax cross is just to give a little more power and comfort. Alternatively, Ice Code is a fun string to play and offers control

I like Confidential 17G more than I thought I would.
I strung it at 44# (my usual tension) and in comparison to Wasabi/X or Hyper G, it has less spin and less power. But feel particularly backhand slices are very nice. Touch lobs / drop shots also seem natural to execute. At 44# it does not seem stiff and I do not think a break-in was required. While I can place my serves pretty well, I do note that its tougher to hit aces. Likewise, I can hit a good return but return winners are less common. This feels like a great control string; I'll see if I can get used to it in terms of hitting winners.
