[Sakhawat]

Can anyone tell me the difference between the la bella rx nickel and ghs balanced nickels? I am having a hard time deciding between the two.

They are quite different.

Labella RX - Nickel-Plated Steel over hex core, with their "focused string design" (which they don't explain)
Balanced Nickels - Pure Nickel over round core, using "balanced construction" (same # of wraps on each string)

From their writeup, the RX sound like they are more inline with Dunlop Super Brights or SIT Foundations in that very malleable, low tension type of feel. The NPS cover is going to give them some snap while retaining a focused low end.

Balanced Nickels are firm, but not stiff. They're a dark string, because of the pure nickel cover, but retain a little brightness and sheen.

GHS Balanced Nickels are something special both in terms of balanced tone and balanced feel. They do live up to their name. There is something unique about them that can't be compared to any of the hex-core NPS rounds. You do have to try them for to see if those special qualities can make a difference for you.

The round core of the pure nickels is going to react to your touch differently than hex core anything would. Jon laid it out pretty well. Similar tension but definitely apples to oranges in many ways.

Hey John - please stick to describing your own strings. We do describe what a focused concept is right on our product page.

Here's a video clip of of our Rx Nickels:

Happy to discuss over email or on the phone in more detail.

Thanks for chiming in! No disrespect was intended; my apologies.

It's disrespectful to insinuate we don't explain our products when we do right on our website. And last time you interacted with our company, you threatened to take legal action over wording about vacuum packaging. So it's hard for us to interpret anything you say as being "helpful".

Noted. Won't happen again.
