Ashaway *HYBRID* Crossfire II 16G Tennis String

Best string I have found. I play an elbow friendly racquet (Wilson BLX 3) with a Gamma Shockbuster 2 dampner. Virtually no vibration, and I can play 3 hours a day 7 days a week without problems. But any of the "soft" multifilament like Sensation would last at most 10 days. This string lasts me up to 2 months, and still feels great in terms of comfort and play. I buy half a dozen sets at a time, and get a discount when I do. Very happy with this string and a healthy elbow.

Produces spin well, but loses tension too quickly

This is a great string. It looses tension quick so I would account for that in the stringing unless you are going hybrid or per-streching them

About 15 years ago I tried many topspin strings and settled on Prince topspin. Then I discovered the Duraflex (PTD) version and it lasts twice as long -it's very forgiving and generates power when you have to. The string gives me good bite on the ball and gets it over the net but in the court. I've tried other hot-shot strings that the 'pros play with' that gave me more power but no control and also can't stand the metallic titanium feel - the guys who recommended those 'power' strings all have shoulder problems!. So back to PTD and all's well. Just ordered a dozen packs for the year.

I've been using this string for about two years and love it. I install it in a stiff frame at 45 LBS which gives a soft feel and great power. Furthermore, this setup gives great touch.
