How it ranks against all 789 strings

Stiffness 213 lb/in · 81st pct

Stiffer than 81% of strings tested.

Tension loss 28 % · 44th pct

Sheds more tension than 44% of strings tested.

Energy return 89 % · 52nd pct

Livelier than 52% of strings tested.

Spin potential 8.0 · 96th pct

More spin potential than 96% of strings tested — elite spin generation.

Ball bite 0.542 COF · 89th pct

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.
