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
