Which String Reel?

[jimbo525]

I'm looking to save some cash and buy reels of string.
I have an exo3 graphite 100, apdc, and black speedport.

I usually string mains at 59 with
Luxilon Alu Power Rough/Flouro
Babolat PHT
I use Pacific Polyforce now

Crosses at 58/59:
Prince Syn Gut Multifilament
Gamma Tnt

What's a good reel of string for mains (must be poly) and crosses under $75 each?
I want something that can hold tension , and i dont really care about durability since im not paying that much.

how about
for mains:
msv hex
topspin cyberflash(Stiffer), or concept pure(softer)
pro supex premer ace(stiffer), or big ace(softer)

for cross:
pro supex maxim touch (best bang for buck)

I would go with some Forten Sweet ($50) or Gosen OG ($30) for the crosses, and use the money saved to go with a nicer copoly, such as WC Silverstring ($120).

interesting

OG has a large following here, myself included. Having tried and continue to try various strings, I keep coming back to OG as my standard. Crisp feel, inexpensive enough that you could re-string daily if you desired and not break the bank. It also works well in various hybrid combinations. One that feels just about dead on is mixing it with Cyber Flash.

Try it. At $30. per roll, there is no down side.

Very Mushy IMO. X-1 Biphase and NXT Tour MUCH Better,... but, yes more $$. Signum and Pro Supex both make discount price strings that are way better than OG.

Again, just an opinion based on my experience with it.
If you must try it... (OG, that is) buy a couple of sets vs a reel.

do they hold tension?

I have a reel of black 18L 1.10 MSV Hex if your interested.

 

[kashgotmoney]

the strings in my sig are perfect. try em out

 

[jimbo525]

no thanks, 18l is way too thin for me, which ones are the best out of these?
PSG with multifilament
Gamma Tnt
Gosen Micro Og- i've heard it drops tension like crazy according to one of the feedbacks

dude ur comparing a very basic synthetic gut with high end multifilaments...so obviously its crappy... then in that case
DON"T GET NXT TOUR OR X-1 ITS CRAP, GET VS TEAM NATURAL GUT!

oh and btw i found forten sweet to be mushy compared to gosen micro

I agree with MRW. The OG is a very good cross string. Never tried it as a full set up. (I like polys our kevlar in mains) But it works great as a cross string. In a hybrid string job the mains are the dominate string. I haven’t found a cross string that has improved the over all effect that I am looking for more than the OG Sheep. And to me it is a waste to put an expensive string in the cross when I can get the same results with the cheaper string that works just as good for me. Now I said for me. But I see on this site and other site's that the OG has a large following as MRW has said...
