If I am you, I would stick it out at 45 lbs for a while longer, also swing faster, it looks like you grasp some benefits of low tension poly's slice's are easier to perform, they skid/stay lower they don't sit up, easier to handle harder balls with less effort.....surely these will benefit you once you become a better player!!! Don't you think so!?
fully agreed!

Its basically up to you, I personally would not recommend it, as you are still on the learning progression curve, if you switch, it staggers and delays any improvement you should see or notice, however I would keep your 60 lbs racket as a back up racket, when playing conditions change, ie balls are botak, court conditions are heavier ie looks like rain....can use when its hot as well, as balls tend to fly faster, depends on what you need, more power or more control, only you can answer this question
ok i will keep it as backup racket thx for the tips on when to use this backup racket... as i fore see tht i definitely will seldom get to utilize my backup racket...

Synthetic gut plays well if strung higher, but why are you going between cheap poly, good poly and synthetic gut......give yourself time to adjust say 2 months of playing with cheap poly at 45 lbs, ask your hitting partners if they feel any difference, make a mental note IF you feel any difference TRY all the shots you wanna try see what type of shots you can pull off, and what shots don't work.....
i understood this part, thx alot! but i need to clarify a bit: i already have 1 pack of synthetic string but dun intend to use it so soon... so let say i have been using this cheap poly at 45lbs for 5 months, then it putus, so i want to put this synthetic gut tht i already have, so wat tension would u reccomend? since im changing from poly to synthetic? is it still 45lbs? or slightly higher? or at 60+lbs oso can?

I use to string Blackcode at 45lbs I liked it however tension maintenance wasn't so good after a full sparring session tension would decrease by at least 10-15% so thats why I don't use Blackcode, I hit either very flat or with alot of spin depending on who I play. If I were sponsored or kena mega toto I would use Blackcode for 2 hours and cut it out and restring.....but sadly mimpi only.....
ohh i see....
hav u used before cyber blue gear? i also got 1 and a half pack of this string...

I am using Signum Pro Tornado as a main string, strung 42 lbs on Wilson k6.1 tour, tension maintenance is excellent...I don't really care if spin is there or not but I MUST have tension maintenance, but this is a textured string, and there is spin :-) win/win lah, if you wanna try this string, I think bro altezza has lobang for this string, can't hurt to ask him, give it a try if you can :-D
ok will ask altezza... thx!
