String & Racket Finder

Gamma tennis strings compared

Every Gamma string bed on the bench — 16 setups rated across eight axes, including arm friendliness, which is the axis most string charts leave out.

How the range scores

Across these 16 beds the range averages 6.9 for spin and 7.4 for arm friendliness. Its strongest axes are feel (7.6) and power (7.6); its weakest is control (flat) (5.9). That makes it unusually kind to the arm for a modern range. 9 of the 16 are named hybrids rather than full beds. Gauges represented: 1.20 · 1.23 · 1.24 · 1.27 · 1.30 mm.

Ratings

Each row is a string bed rather than a reel: a full bed of one string, or a named hybrid. Axes are spin, power, control (flat), precision, feel, sound, longevity, arm friendliness, each rated 0–10.

String notes

GAMMA Moto 1.24

A seven-sided co-polyester and, above all, a control string: firm and low powered, with the heptagonal edges doing the spin work rather than snapback. Expect confident depth on full cuts and very little free power — it gives back almost nothing off-centre. Its unusual strength is staying fresh: it holds playability longer than most co-polys, and it costs a fraction of the tour strings.

Matching a string to your racket

A string only makes sense in a frame. A stiff polyester in an already stiff, powerful racket is the most common cause of arm trouble in club tennis, and the same string in a flexible control frame can be excellent. The finder scores the pairing rather than the string alone.
