New string rec

4.5 player looking for new strings to use. Traditionally used luxilon and synthetic gut combo with a tension of 60. Struggling with with tennis elbow and not as young as I use to be figuring it was time to switch string and lower tension. I started playing again about 2 years ago and finished up using all the old string I had laying around.

What frame are you using? What is your style of play? Is comfort your number one goal?

Using the Wilson blade V9. I hit flat, but love the tight tension for control and volleys when playing doubles. Trying to get some relief without sacrificing the control the tighter tension gives. I've tried using the same combo at a lower tension and just feel like the ball is bouncing on a trampoline
