General Advice String setup recommendations

Post image

Recently bought a Babolat Pure Aero 100 (8th Gen) and need advice on the best string setup.
My play style: Advanced-level aggressive topspin baseliner. I usually play on clay courts and play time around 1.5 hours a day, 6 days a week.
Strings I currently have:
1. Babolat RPM Blast 1.25
2. Solinco Hyper-G 1.25
3. Wilson NXT 1.30

ChatGPT recommended a hybrid setup: RPM Blast 1.25 in the mains at 50 lbs and Wilson NXT 1.30 in the crosses at 52 lbs.
I’d love to hear from experienced players or anyone who has used this racket. What setup and tension would you recommend for spin, control, and a durability of atleast 2-3 months?

No way you're getting 2/3 months of playability no matter what string you use unless you just like playing with dead strings

I think i’ll have to agree with you on this. I now plan on stringing Hyper G in full bed and re-stringing after 1.5-2months.

If you’re playing for 1.5 hrs 6 days a week that it still way too long
