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.
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!

Tried ytex on a whim when I heard about square x sharp. Thought it would be a novelty and I'd be back to searching around to find something that would fit my needs and protect my elbow. Immediately noticed a difference. Play tested several others but their flagship ended up checking all the boxes for me. I string an ezone 100 with a full bed of quadro twist black at 48lbs. Spin generation and power with full cuts from the baseline have helped my rally depth tremendously. First serves still pop, but my confidence with kick and slider has gone through the roof. Anyone looking to get into the brand should start here and see what it does for them!
With Twist Purple in my other racquet, Head Exteme MP, I strung Hexagon Red as a cross (40 lbs) to Square X Sharp (42), and along with Purple, found it superior to the smooth poly Protour as a hybrid cross. Whereas Purple seemed to exceed Red in power, durability and control, Red did enhance the spin. The full bed is good, but try it in a hybrid, even as a cross!
On a dare from a YTex FB colleague, I tried Hexagon Red, and while I was at it, strung Twisted Purple in my other racquet, Head Extreme MP, as the cross to the mains of Square X Sharp, 42 in mains, 40 in crosses. It beat Hexagon in durability, power, and control. And yes, beat the smooth polys, Protour, in performance. No doubt it has its market as a full bed, or even main, but consider it as a hybrid cross!
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.
I have a small and it just barely adjusts small enough but it is very lightweight and comfortable.
I use Protour as a cross with Square X as the main. Gives me plenty of spin and pop on the ball
