Wilson Duo Power or Ultimate Duo opinions/experiences?

[golden chicken]

I've pretty much always used a full bed of NXT. I have pretty flat strokes, but like to be able to slice and dice too. I'm not a string breaker. I've been considering trying out Duo Power (NXT Power mains, ALU crosses) just to have an experience with a poly, but I rarely see anyone mention Duo Power even when the thread is about multi/poly hybrids. Any experience good or bad?

Just stick with the fullbed nxt.

Introducing the poly cross will only mess with your launch angle and reduce stringbed life by 50%.

With no positives, like more spin on slice and kick serves?

Not really.

That's disappointing. Any other multi/poly hybrids worth a try instead? I'd like to be able to keep about the same power level but add a touch of spin.

Imo, you'll get more spin, but I agree that a stiff poly in the crosses is going to shred NXT.

I put Ultimate Duo Power in 2 Head rackets today. Seemed like a pretty good sting.

Multi/poly or poly/multi? Curious to hear how it plays.

I put them in as poly/multi. It was for another person, so I didn't hit with it. I've used poly only with natural gut mains (I used Pacific XForce 18 in the crosses) and it felt good. It's been a while though.
