Default Head Flexpoint 4 Liquidmetal - String Recommendation Help !

I hope I am not the only one who changes strings in his racquet so often as I do. But I am constantly dissapointed with the strings I am getting
and with advice from stringing places / pro shops.

I am not a great player by any means. My only weapon in my arsenal is
my forhand and net play. These strings that I tried ( highligted bold) did
not provided my in any level of satisfaction in play. The ball either lands
in the net or sails long. I know my topspin needs to be improved a lot.

These are the strings that are avaiable to me thru my local stringing
place and I would be greatfull to someone who would give me some kind of recommendation what should I use to string my racquet with and at what tension.

Here is the list :

Hybrid Babolat Double Action 16 $49.00
Prince Pro Blend 16 $50.00
Intelitour 17 $40.00
Head Intellifibre 16/17 $40.00

Synthetic Gosen Biogut 16 $50.00
Prince Perfection 17 $45.00 strang at 60 lb
Prince Powerglide 16 $45.00
Gosen Tungsten VL 16 $45.00
Gosen Super Tec 16 $45.00
Technifibre 515 SPL 16 $45.00
Wilson Sensation NXT 17 $45.00
Head Fibre Gel 16 $40.00
Head Rip Control 16 $40.00
Head Rip Control 17 $40.00 strang at 55 lb
Head Riptech 16 $40.00
Wilson Sensation 16 $40.00
Prince Topspin 15L $40.00
Prince Synthetic Gut 16 $30.00
Prince Synthetic Gut 17 $30.00
Wilson Extreme 16 $30.00
Babolat Fineplay 16 $30.00
Head Synthetic Gut 16 $25.00
Babolat X-cel 17 $45.00 strang at 60 lb

My racquet has 16 Mains / 19 Crosses . And I have not tried any 16 strings
as of yet. I do not know if I should.
My wish is that the strings that I get will not move so much all over the place so I have to adjust them after few points played. I tried stringing at higher tension but they still move. ( my buddy's recquet Wilson Hammer is strung at 60 lb and he is not adjusting any thing ) Maybe it is the recquet.

Sorry for rambling so much in my post but I am really frustrated.
So please be kind in your response

Thanks in advance !!!

ps: prices are in Canadian dollars , and if you can recommend other strings ( not from the list ) please do so .

Hi dietfreak, when you say "The ball either lands in the net or sails long", does this refer to each of the setups you have tried, or does one setup cause you to hit into the net and another setup lets your shots fly long? If the latter is correct, than you need to tell us which setup had which effect. Please don't forget to mention at which tension you have tried the strings.

As far as string movement is concerned, all strings on your list will sooner or later show movement, you will have to live with that.
