VöLkl tennis strings compared
Every VöLkl string bed on the bench — 15 setups rated across eight axes, including arm friendliness, which is the axis most string charts leave out.
How the range scores
Across these 15 beds the range averages 8.7 for spin and 6.2 for arm friendliness. Its strongest axes are spin (8.7) and control (flat) (7.8); its weakest is longevity (5.2). That makes it middling on arm friendliness — neither a comfort range nor a punishing one. 8 of the 15 are named hybrids rather than full beds. Gauges represented: 1.20 · 1.23 · 1.25 mm.

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
VÖLKL V-Square 1.20
A shaped spin polyester with genuinely aggressive bite — the square-ish profile grabs the ball hard. Expect big spin potential and firm, controlled depth. Like most sharply shaped strings, the edges round off and the bite fades before the string actually breaks, so its best window is short.

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.
