Their new multifilament string, Babolat Addiction 17 offers more spin and feel, but slightly lower durability compared to its 16 gauge version. This string provides players with a pillow soft feel for a ton of comfort. This string features a combination of 95% polyamide along with 5% PTFE fibers, which are exclusive to Babolat, to create a unique combination of power, comfort, and durability. The PTFE Fibers in Addiction help to reduce friction between strings leading to prolonged durability. The highly elastic polyamide fibers provide the elasticity necessary for a soft and powerful string bed. This is a great string for a player seeking a very soft feel with some added power and durability from a multifilament string construction.

Construction: Multifilament polyamide/PTFE
Color: Natural
Gauge: 1.25mm

These strings came with my new racquet, and I bought them again when it was time to restring. Of course, they wore a bit faster than the thicker Sensation string Ive used before, but seemed to bite better for spin and had a livelier feel.

Not Recoil

User: Jim, Florida

I am currently looking for a string to replace recoil in a hybrid set up with RPM. This was not the string. It is soft but RPM does not rebound back in place after hitting as well recoil.

Good for elbow less controll overall comparable to some wilsons string

So, So

I purchased this string to use it as a hybrid with Babolat RPM 17g. I used it on the cross, while using the RPM on the main. The string did not give me the spin, feel, or pop that I was looking for. It is a bit dull as a hybrid. I tried both the 17 and the 16g, but could not really say there was much difference between the two.

I really like these strings! They give a great pop to the ball and give me enough power without sacrificing too much comfort. I think these strings are perfect for someone who likes to put topspin on their shots, not for the person who tries to kill the ball down the line every shot.

While I love my new Overdrive racquet, I do not like the Addiction strings I had put in it. For me the strings have a dead feel to them. Ill try something else when I have to restring it.

These strings are great for someone that plays all the time, strikes the ball hard, and values durability. The string bed doesnt move and tension is maintained for a good period of time. I play 4-6 times a week and these strings easily last me two weeks.

Not for everyone

User: Debby, Missouri

This string might be good in the hands of someone else, but when I used it, all control was lost. I had to extremely exaggerate my topspin to get the ball in play. This string is more likely to be used for someone with a high amount of topspin, that isn't getting the ball very deep. Examine your game before trying this string
