V-Square 16 (1.30)

Polyester Gauge 16 1.24 mm In production

Lab measurements for Volkl V-Square 16 (1.30), 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

191lb/in

lower = softer, kinder on the arm

Tension loss

48%

lower = stays where you strung it

Energy return

84%

higher = livelier, more free power

Spin potential

11.3

higher = more spin off the string bed

Ball bite

0.781COF

higher = grabs the ball harder

Snapback

0.069COF

lower = strings slide and snap back

How it ranks against all 789 strings

Stiffness 191 lb/in · 58th pct

Stiffer than 58% of strings tested.

Tension loss 48 % · 84th pct

Sheds more tension than 84% of strings tested.

Energy return 84 % · 12th pct

Livelier than 12% of strings tested.

Spin potential 11.3 · 100th pct

More spin potential than 100% of strings tested — elite spin generation.

Ball bite 0.781 COF · 100th pct

Grips the ball harder than 100% of strings tested — bites the ball hard through the brush.

Snapback 0.069 COF · 4th pct

More string-on-string friction than 4% of strings tested — slides and snaps back freely.

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.
