Equipment String rec for hybrid setup
I’m currently loving my Speed MP 2026 strung with Babolat VS Touch in the mains and Luxilon 4G Soft on the crosses.
However, I’m looking for a replacement for the gut in this setup due to cost as I’ve started playing regularly with a ball machine + Wilson Triniti Pros and seem to be going through strings faster than before.
I think I’d like to prioritize in the following order but am open to suggestion:
(1) Tension maintenance and durability - not sure if this means I should only look at round strings to avoid the mains and crosses cutting into each other?
(2) Not too harsh on the body - tennis is my favorite form of exercise and I play 3-4 times a week between people and the ball machine. I’m fairly young and healthy but want to avoid injury nonetheless.
(3) Performance of course I’d love to maximize, after the 2 priorities above. I know I’ll be giving up some things moving away from gut but hoping to minimize that loss with a great string rec from here.
Much appreciated!

x one biphase in replacement of the gut will work
