I have been experimenting over that last few months with different strings for my Dunlop M Fil Tour racket. I have tried Ashway SuperNick and  Technofibre  and have settled for the  Technofibre  305 (the 1.2mm ) which I found satisfies my need for a good allround string, however having played the club champion  last  night I found out that he actually strings his racket with the  technofibre tennis string.

Apart from being an exceptional player he swears that not only does he get the power and duribilty from the string but also excellent control on the drop and touch shots.

This is the first time I have come across this and as we play a similiar game - he's just better at it - I thought of giving it a go.

Has anybody else experienced this and if so was it worth it.

Also I would appreciate any feedback on the best ideas for stringing a M Fil Tour.

I play an attacking power game, with good touch and control at the front.

Many thanks

as long as the strings are 1.25 - 1.30 diameter you should be ok. any thicker and it won't cut into a squash ball enough to get sufficient grip on touch shots. I would recommened the best to try would probably be something like babolat vs team which is natural gut and 1.25 mm. there's no reason why this won't be great in a squash racket too. although natural gut has more power and durability than any sythetic string, it won't grip the ball as much as say, supernick xl. but as you're a power player mainly, this should suit you.

I play with mixed string tennis in the down strings and squash in the cross strings so i get the best of both worlds with power and durability in the downstrings and touch and grip in the cross stings (as the tennis string is very smooth it doesnt grip the ball as well as squash string) it works well for me but i think you just have to see what works for you!!

Anyway good luck!!

I currently have the technifibre dual metal platinum in as that is what the guy strung it with and i wasn't exactly up to speed at the time.  It is in a prince sovreign and feels as good as the technifbre 305 was in a more game.  I find my drops shots are as good as ever and i am definitly getting power on.  I am told they are durable and they do look it.
