Strings i have tried so far

All these days i never paid any attention to the Strings. What ever String the racquets came with i used them.

 I String my own racquets and hence have more freedom in trying out various combinations.

And i don't break strings that often.

How ever after reading through many tennis forums i now have decent idea reg various Strings and started experimenting with various String setups.

Here is the list of Strings i am using so far :

1) Gosen OG Sheep Micro      (Synthetic String)

   Good and cheap synthetic string. Mostly used for crosses in a hybrid setup

2) Gosen polylon                      (Poly)

    First generation poly. If you have arm problems stay away from it.

3) Forten Nylon                        (Cheap Nylon String)
    Dead cheap string. Good for String breakers. Can be used as a Cross in Hybrid setup

4) Pro's Pro Hitec Multi Fibre   (Multiflament)

    Softest multi. Haven't played with it yet

5) Poly Star Classic                  (Poly)
