VS Touch 15L (1.35)

Gut Gauge 15L 1.31 mm In production

Lab measurements for Babolat VS Touch 15L (1.35), ranked against all 789 strings in the database. Every figure below is a testing-machine result at a fixed reference tension, not a playtest opinion.

Measured values

Stiffness

89lb/in

lower = softer, kinder on the arm

Tension loss

12%

lower = stays where you strung it

Energy return

96%

higher = livelier, more free power

Spin potential

3.0

higher = more spin off the string bed

Ball bite

higher = grabs the ball harder

Snapback

0.149COF

lower = strings slide and snap back

How it ranks against all 789 strings

Stiffness 89 lb/in · 1st pct

Stiffer than 1% of strings tested — exceptionally soft and forgiving.

Tension loss 12 % · 1st pct

Sheds more tension than 1% of strings tested — outstanding tension maintenance.

Energy return 96 % · 99th pct

Livelier than 99% of strings tested — huge free power off the string bed.

Spin potential 3.0 · 9th pct

More spin potential than 9% of strings tested — minimal spin generation.

Ball bite 0.447 COF · 54th pct

Grips the ball harder than 54% of strings tested.

Snapback 0.149 COF · 93rd pct

More string-on-string friction than 93% of strings tested — notches badly and stays put.

What these numbers mean

Stiffness · lb/in

How much the string bed resists deflection. Higher plays firmer and more controlled; lower plays softer and easier on the arm.

Tension loss · %

Share of the reference tension the string sheds under a fixed test protocol. Lower means the bed stays where you strung it for longer.

Energy return · %

Share of impact energy handed back to the ball. Higher plays livelier and more powerful.

Spin potential

Ball friction divided by string-on-string friction. Higher means better bite with a cleaner snapback, so more spin.

Ball bite · COF

String-on-ball friction. Higher grabs the ball harder through the brush.

Snapback · COF

String-on-string friction. Lower lets the mains slide and snap back into place after impact.
