I have tried Gamma Zo Twist, I think this is one of the first batch of strings that featured a axial twisted feature, and a pentagonal shape, I think Signum Tornado has a very similar pattern to Zo Twist, however Gamma Zo Twist is slightly harsher on the arm, Tornado is definitely softer of the two, depends Zo Twist could be up your alley, some people may say Tornado is too soft, the hitting sensation of Tornado feels like a high end multifilament. Here is a photo comparison, if you can try em both on a same stick I highly recommend it. If you asked me which has slightly more spin, I'd say Zo Twist. The new current fad is textured strings are in,believe what you will

The general rule of thumb is also... If the string is stiffer, the spin potential is also greater (less dwell time). I remember i came across an article bout some students in a UNI in the states doing some research about textured strings. The conclusion is, textured string contributes to only 2% more spin.
