What’s a good string to hybrid with luxilon big banger power alu?

I’m a competitive junior tennis player who plays a lot of sectional and national tournaments, I’m currently using the prince exo3 black racquet and am using luxilon big banger power alu strings, I’m looking for a good string to hybrid the luxilon with. I’m looking for something that will offer more touch and feel and soften up my string bed. I’m not a really big hitter, I’m more about shot placement and working the point until I find an opening. I’m a counter-puncher for the most part. I’m not really big either, I’m only 5’4″ and weigh about 115 pounds. Any recommendations? Also, would anyone recommend a different type of luxilon string instead of power alu?

i go hybrid with prince topspin, any synthetic strings go good on the crosses with big banger

Prince 03 Speedport Gold Tennis Racquet

Product Description
Get the Speedport Gold For $99-$249 NOW! The Prince O3 Speedport Gold continues the use of the more aerodynamic square-shaped O-Ports that generates a livelier response across the entire string bed, but now with new technologies such as the Speedport Shaft for added power and stability.
The O3 Speedport Gold features a 70% larger sweetspot than traditionally-strung racquets thanks to the extra long mainstrings using Prince’s Strung-Thru-Stringing System (the O3 Gold can also be strung in a conventional configuration using the included solid throat piece for a more controlled feel.) To facilitate the new Strung-Through-Stringing System, Prince has added Speedport Shaft, four additional Speedports in the shaft of the racquet that enhance the aerodynamic efficiency of the racquet. With a Prince Power Level of 1400, the O3 Speedport Gold has one of the highest levels of power ever offered in a Prince racquet. Extremely generous sweetspot. Overall, the O3 Speedport Gold remains one of the best all-around game improvement racquets for a beginning to intermediate player with a slow to moderate swing speed.

Product Description
Prince O3 Speedport Gold Tennis Racquet. Power Level: 1400. The Prince O3 Speedport Gold features an aerodynamic refinement to the largest sweetspot offered in the Prince racquet line thanks to the use of new square-shaped O-Ports that generates a livelier response across the entire string bed. The O3 Speedport Gold has one of the highest levels of power ever offered in a Prince racquet. This racquet is very similar to the o3 Speedport Blue. However, Prince has added a Strung-Thru-Stringing System. This stringing system adds additional strings in the neck of the racquet, which provides up to 70% larger sweet spot for the largest sweet spot in tennis. Also, there is an Air Bridge yoke which helps to stabilize frame twisting giving rock-solid feel and greater control. The DuraSoft grip and the TPR throat insert provide exceptional shock damping for greater comfort.The o3 Speedport Gold is designed with Twin Morph Taper Beam and lightweight construction to maximize power and maneuverability. Wind tunnel testing proves O3 Speedport racquets move through the air up to 24% faster than traditional racquets. So you can hit your best shots. More often. Even faster.Ideal for players with moderate, powerful strokes. Recommended for the 3.0plus NTRP level players.O3 Speedport Technology: Prince has once again revolutionized the art of racquet design with the launch of the O3, a breakthrough in racquet engineering that allows you to hit your best shots more often. By replacing the traditional pin-sized string holes with giant Speedports that provide total string freedom of movement the sweetspot size is increased up to 59%, which means you hit your best shots more often. What’s truly impressive is that Prince did it all without enlarging the racquet head, increasing its length, or adding weight. So it’s easy to maneuver and quicker through the air.Strung-Thru-Stringing System: Strung-Thru-Stringing System provides up to 70% larger sweet spot for the largest sweet spot in tennis.

Tension recommendation for a TOPSPIN CYBER FLASH 17L (1.20) main & GOSEN MICRO 17 (1.22) cross?

Tension recommendation for a TOPSPIN CYBER FLASH 17L (1.20) main & GOSEN MICRO 17 (1.22) cross tennis string

I use a HEAD MICROGEL RADICAL MIDPLUS racquet (18×20 string pattern) racquet.
I personally use 58 tension for a full synthetic job.

I’m trying this hybrid for the first time and not sure about the tension to use coz different strings with different gauges have their own particular range of tension recommendation

This seriously all depends on you. And you aren’t really going to know until you try. With most strings though, just stick within the frame’s recommended tension range. There are a few strings that say to add 10% due to tension loss. But you can’t really add 10% when you don’t know what you’ll want to start with.

Finding the right string job/tension combo is a long process, that requires lots of tweaking along the way. Since it’s what you’re used to, I’d start with that 58lb tension. Then you can decide if you like it, or if something needs to change. If you need more power, string a bit looser. For more control, go a bit tighter.

But this being a hybrid set, things are a little more complicated. Some people use a slightly different tension for the mains than the crosses. It’ll just take some experimenting and evaluating to find what’s best for you.

Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge…
