any tennis stringing professionals, opinion on a hybrid stringing?
I string my own rackets (Babolat pure storm tour+GT) and lately have been using becker B-Xplosive 16 in the mains and a soft gosen in the crosses (mains strung 55lbs, crosses strung 54lbs). was thinking about trying Gamma Zo Magic 16 in crosses instead. if anyone has tried this string or any suggestions on tension, any advice is welcome. ive been playing 11 years and am looking for the best combo of power and control. Thanks!
Well I did stumble across this website which lets you compare strings, but I don't know too much about the buildup of the racquet and stuff so I'm just going to leave it to the website, tell me if it was what you are looking for and if you like it!
