Floppy and uneven

Put these on my pre-Joe Pass Emperor and was negatively surprised. The gearing of the tension was very weird, where the two regular strings had a much harder tension than the wound strings. It seems they have focused too much on numbers than feeling in their gearing of the gauges. The wound strings felt very floppy and loose for their gauge, which is what I want to avoid when I go flatwound. Vibration should be controlled and tension as even as possible across the strings. I also find the surface annoying, providing a subtle frizz to the touch when moving up and down the neck. I'm trying Pyramid next but my guess is I'll land at D'addario flatwounds in the end.
