Need tennis strings that will provide POP/POWER!

Question

I am currently using a AeroPro Drive Cortex (APDC) and have Pro Hurricane Tour at 55lb tension and like any other poly, the strings feel great at the beginning but after a few weeks, it feels stiff and harder to hit with. Since I cannot afford to get a string job every week or so, I need a recommendation on strings, preferably hybrids. I am a power hitter with lots of spin (Left-Handed Player) and I'm really looking for a string combo that will really give me a lot of pop and power. I am obviously trying to avoid FULL poly string job because of my experience with the PHT but I'm open to any hybrid string combo. I am thinking of something mixed with synthetic gut but I'm open to any recommendations/suggestions offered by you experts ! If you can just list a string combo with the tension, and a reason why (statement on what the strings will offer) then I'll really appreciate it! Thanks and hope to get a new string combo soon!

Answer 1

Another poly that you might want to try is Signum Poly Plasma.  I put Wilson Natural Gut (also known as cat gut) in the mains, and the Poly Plasma in the crosses.  You could try your PHT in the crosses with the Natural Gut in the mains.    

Answer 2

yeah cat gut is probably your best bet

Answer 3

I go with some gut or NXT in the crosses, and a nice durable poly in the mains.  It lasts awhile and plays alright, then again, nothing beats some good ole gut.  

Answer 4

Gamma Zo Power 16L for the mains

Gamma Live Wire XP 16 for the crosses
