Which of these "spin strings" should I use?

[tennis4life6965]

I was planning on stringing these folowing strings in the mains and WeissCannon Scorpion 1.22 in the crosses. Which string would you reccomend for the best overall performance (all have ridiculous spin potential)?

Signum Pro Tornado 1.23 or 1.17 (which is better)
Solinco Tour Bite(What is Best Gauge)
Solinco Barbwire 16L
Pro Supex Blue Gear 1.25
Kirschbaum Spiky Shark 1.25

Pro Supex Blue Gear

Nuff said.

They all have slightly different positive and negative attributes. Which are most important to you? ie. tension maintenance, durability, stiffness, power, feel, comfort, and of course max spin.

Comfort would definatley be the next thing that is most important.

Thanks

then definitly blue gear

I've tried them all, several times. The blue gear was close to awesome, with vs team cross, but like any poly/co poly, not for long.

 

[nickarnold2000]

For spin and tension maintenance, Tornado is excellent.

tourbite and barbwire are best two choices there. but i am not sure which is better of those two ??

 

[Power Player]

Thats a good list and will boil down to personal preference.

Blue Gear 1.28....don't string BG too low cause it has a bit of power tho Scorp 1.22 can be strung lower since it's low powered. might try that one myself.

I use the same set up you are going for i have to say that the tour bite was very nice better than the msv focus hex i put in it i think scorpion is better complemented with a stiff poly currently trialing alu power rough with it enjoying it massively so far but then again who dosent love alu power ! i think using scorpion in the crosses as a basis for most string jobs is a great idea as its comfortable powerfull and durable just lacks spin imo

Blue gear is the least comfortable of all of those listed. Spiky Shark is the softest, but its notches wear quickly. Go for the Tornado 1.23.

Blue gear is great stuff, but I would recommend the 1.19 18gauge version instead, if you're looking for a spin string that stuff would spin more than your 16g.

What about durability factor? 1.19mm is very thin, isn't?

 

[Buckethead]

I'd say MSV Focus Hex, Heptatwist is your first option, as TW article said and in practice it is the one that generates more spin than many others, maybe not that much more as some others.
Isospeed pyramid can be a great option as well.
I personally like SPP Hextreme as well, because of low power.
Solinco strings stink.

Blue Gear is very durable and strangely found the 1.28 more comfortable than the next thinner gauge.

 

[rodrigoamaral]

I would say Pro Supex blue gear... one of the better spin strings out there IMO

I use MSV Focus Hex because its spin factor lasts longer. The other "spin strings" I tried became smooth very quickly and lost the spin factor. I can get about 5 hours of spin factor from MSV, after that, it feels dead and I have to cut it and restring.

You may want to read the info above first...

 

[kiteboard]

The article does not address reality. Spin increases with the top spin strings, and according to this art., that is not possible....
