| PAIRING MATRIX // ALL_STRINGS

STRING DATABASE

Numbers here are shifts, not scores — how much a string moves a racquet's base rating, so +12 spin means noticeably more bite than that frame gives on its own. They are our own estimates, not lab data. Gauges shown are the most common retail diameter; most of these strings come in several. How these scores work
