Our Babolat tennis strings

Discover our range of strings for your tennis racquets.

The Monofilament tennis string

Monofilament tennis strings are made of a single strand. These strings offer durability, spin potential, and ball control.

The Multifilament Tennis String

Multifilament tennis strings are composed of multiple filaments braided together. They are more flexible, enhancing the trampoline effect in the racquet, giving you more power and comfort.

The Natural Gut tennis string

Natural gut tennis strings are our specialty; we have been crafting this type of premium string for over 145 years. Thanks to its elasticity, natural gut provides excellent feel, power, unmatched comfort, and ball touch. For a unique playing experience, we recommend the Touch VS natural gut string.

The Hybrid tennis string

Hybrid tennis strings combines two different strings for the mains and crosses, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of both string types.

How to choose your tennis string?

Based on your playing style

If you are looking for comfort in your tennis game, flexible strings that absorb vibrations are ideal, such as multifilament or natural gut. A thicker gauge will provide durability, while a thinner gauge will offer more comfort.

• For players seeking better feel to experience the impact more precisely, the Touch VS natural gut string is perfect.
• For players aiming for spin, refer to our RPM range. If you want maximum spin, the RPM Rough is ideal. For better control, the RPM Blast suits your game best.
• For advanced players seeking power, we recommend RPM Power, while intermediate players should go for Xcel.

Tips for better string durability

External temperature

To ensure your tennis strings last, avoid leaving your racquet in direct sunlight or in very hot areas, and prevent drastic temperature changes. To better protect your racquet and its strings, our Babolat tennis bags feature a dedicated compartment to shield against heat, temperature variations, and shocks.

Regularly changing your tennis strings

We recommend changing your strings at least every 3 months to prevent tension loss and maintain performance during your strokes (e.g., ball control or spin potential). Old strings can also increase the risk of muscular or joint injuries. This frequency can vary depending on your playing level and hours of play per week.

Adjusting string tension

The quality of your game depends on your tennis racquet, but primarily on the string and its tension. Adjusting string tension is essential to maintain your racquet's condition and shot quality. Lower tension provides better feel and power, while higher tension offers better precision and control during play.
