lower = softer, kinder on the arm

Tension loss

48%

lower = stays where you strung it

Energy return

83%

higher = livelier, more free power

Spin potential

11.9

higher = more spin off the string bed

How it ranks against all 789 strings

Stiffness 175 lb/in · 43rd pct

Stiffer than 43% of strings tested.

Tension loss 48 % · 84th pct

Sheds more tension than 84% of strings tested.

Energy return 83 % · 8th pct

Livelier than 8% of strings tested — very muted and low-powered.

Spin potential 11.9 · 100th pct

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

Ball bite 0.774 COF · 100th pct

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

Snapback 0.065 COF · 1st pct

More string-on-string friction than 1% of strings tested — slides and snaps back freely.

More from Weiss Cannon

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.
