String & Racket Finder

Wilson tennis strings compared

Every Wilson string bed on the bench — 18 setups rated across eight axes, including arm friendliness, which is the axis most string charts leave out.

How the range scores

Across these 18 beds the range averages 5.4 for spin and 8.4 for arm friendliness. Its strongest axes are power (8.6) and arm friendliness (8.4); its weakest is control (flat) (4.6). That makes it unusually kind to the arm for a modern range. 9 of the 18 are named hybrids rather than full beds. Gauges represented: 1.25 · 1.28 · 1.30 mm.

Ratings

String notes

WILSON Revolve Spin

A shaped spin poly built for grab, sitting at a friendlier price than the tour-level options. Expect solid bite and reasonable control with a firm feel. A practical everyday spin string rather than a precision instrument — good value for a player who restrings often.

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.
