I ama recreational player in the 55-60 age range. I feel like I've been trying to find the right combination of power and spin while also being 'arm friendly'.
I strung "Darth Vader" (Wilson Pro Staff 98 v12 315g) with Trivoluton Black at 48lbs. It took less than 3 games of play for me to adjust to the incredible feel of the ball on the string bed the Trivolution has. Coincidentally it took about that same amount of play to decide that Trivolution is my new favorite string.

This string is good with getting a little more spin on flat shots. It is pretty soft and easy on the elbow.

Soft power.
Putting in these strings was a big change for me going from a very stiff kevlar hybrid to the Trivolution Black. This string was easy in the machine and came out looking great. I found them to feel very soft but with plenty of power. I didn't notice any difference in spin but all-in-all a very solid string. I think it would be a great half of a hybrid. Can't wait to recommend it to my customers!
My favorite feature of Protour Blue is the softness. There are very few copolys that I can use without hurting my arm. At the same time Protour Blue provides some additional spin in my hybrid with gut.
I was looking to soften my string bed a bit more as well as trying to increase the snapback of my strings. By adding Pro Tour to the crosses with Quadro Twist in the mains, I feel like the strings still grab the ball since QT is in the mains, but I believe I increased my spin due to the better snapback of the strings now that a smooth poly is in the mains. It also made the overall feel more plush, which is what I was after. I'm very happy with this hybrid and will be using it going forward. I string the mains at 48 and crosses at 46.
The grip is pretty durable , that’s a plus .
I like a wetter ultra tacky grip . I use tourna mega tac overgrips - those are real wet and tacky . Good grip just wish it were tackier
Just bought the new product ytex is offering, overgrips. My husband put them on for me and thought they were made of excellent material. I liked the way they felt. Definitely a good addition to the ytex product lines.
