Polyester Gauge 16L 1.27 mm In production

Lab measurements for Pacific ATP Poly Power Pro 16L, 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

194lb/in

lower = softer, kinder on the arm

Tension loss

51%

lower = stays where you strung it

Energy return

84%

higher = livelier, more free power

Spin potential

5.0

higher = more spin off the string bed

Ball bite

0.461COF

higher = grabs the ball harder

Snapback

0.092COF

lower = strings slide and snap back

How it ranks against all 789 strings

Stiffness 194 lb/in · 62nd pct

Stiffer than 62% of strings tested.

Tension loss 51 % · 90th pct

Sheds more tension than 90% of strings tested — goes dead fast, expect frequent restringing.

Energy return 84 % · 12th pct

Livelier than 12% of strings tested.

Spin potential 5.0 · 57th pct

More spin potential than 57% of strings tested.

Ball bite 0.461 COF · 62nd pct

Grips the ball harder than 62% of strings tested.

Snapback 0.092 COF · 50th pct

More string-on-string friction than 50% of strings tested.

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.
