Brand Name Comparison:
I am using these strings on cross together with gut on the main. Still not sure how these strings impact my game. The overall feel is like gut which is required because of my elbow issues.
Both my and my kids elbow began to hurt after using co-poly solely. We switched to Zyex on the mains and kept the co-poly on the crosses and holy smokes! Extra power with exceptional feel and comfort.
I have been using ZYEX for over 10 - 15 years. I've tried other strings, including poly and hybrids, but away come back, here's why. ZYEX is a very comfortable string. It hold tension nicely, it is easy on the arm, and lasts for me at least 20 matches. Then I restring with my klipper stringer that I have have for 30+ years.
I would recommend that if you are 60 or older you should give it a try.
