RS tennis strings
The 2 measured RS strings sit close to the middle of the database on every metric — this is a range without a strong house character. Every measurement below is a testing-machine result, not a playtest opinion.
Where RS sits in the database
Median percentile across the 2 measured RS strings. A bar past halfway means the typical RS string carries more of that measurement than the typical string overall — which is not the same as being better at it.
What to buy from RS, by problem
