Now about these 9's I'm using. Being D'aderios (spelling?) XL series, I knew they'd be good. Those, Rotosound, Dunlop Round Wound are my choice for strings. Battle tested over decades of playing juke joints to using on my custom builds. They work.
I wouldn't use Ernie Ball strings to hold up a busted muffler on a 67 Dodge pickup! Nasty strings!
But anyway, I'm getting used to the more flimsy feel, sorta. Tone's ok. Hand hurts little now though. In the Rangers we called that Mission Success. No Casualties.

ROCK ON WADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TBTH I like 9's I tried some 7's ......they where just to thin for me---- but 9's are my stand by on those 6 stringed beasties. ----
Next -----you need to try some FLATWOUNDS-------in 9's and you will be LOVING the luxury and slippery feel.......adjust the pedals and the amp--- and you will not lose tone.
--yup I am the Pusher man---

well at least it didnt end up with a 44 slug in it
Sometimes, it's the only solution.....

I have an old saying that goes like this:
"There's not an issue that I can't resolve with a solid left hook or a slug from a .44."
Occasionally just the mention of this personal method of problem solving has had a positive effect in correcting the problem or altering another's behavior. My old Chief of Police told me once "Sarge, you're as subtle as an incoming round from a howitzer. " I took that as a compliment.

Good luck finding your way back, hope the string change helps.
+1 on the plain ol nickel wound D'Addario exl / xl.
I play 10's on 24 3/4" - 25" scale but 9's on a strat and am considering going down to 9's on the Tele
and up to 11's on a 24" scale Jaguar.
But I'm a snot nosed 53 year old kid playing 2+ years so I know exactly jacksh*t, but so far thats what works for me.
But, I digress...
