Suits club players with a developing technique.

Tension guidance

Manufacturer range

50–60 lb

Always stay within this range

Poly recommendation

47–53 lb

String ~10% lower for polys

Gut / Multi recommendation

50–60 lb

Full manufacturer range OK

Lower tension (near 50 lb): more power, more comfort, more spin potential. Good for players who generate their own control.

Higher tension (near 60 lb): more control, firmer feel, slightly less power. Good for big hitters who want to keep the ball in.

String pattern: 16x15 (open)

The 16x15 pattern is ideal for spin and power. The wider spacing lets the strings bite into the ball more easily and snap back to generate topspin. A great canvas for both spin-oriented polys and powerful multifilaments.
