A really versatile string. As advertised, it's durable, adds power, and has helped me avoid elbow injuries which have been a chronic problem in the past. I play a minimum of 8 hours a week and get 10 weeks of use between restringing, at 60 lbs.

As a beginner, I appreciate the control over a ball these strings allow me to have. I believe I asked to use 16 lbs when TE strung them for me, and that just works for me perfectly - I really ought to swing fully to set the ball at the speed I want, so it helps tremendously.
Thanks a lot to the TE experts who suggested them!!!

Sounds like they strung my strings similar and they are fine so far. I had some wrist pain in the fall and had my racket restrung with natural gut.

My son Tyler decided to join the tennis team his sophomore year. He played about a half year with old racquets and I finally bought him a new Wilson racquet. Now let me tell you he was very particular when he was shopping for this new racquet everything had to perfect about it.
He got better and better the more he played. He singles a lot during the first semester then played doubles. Tyler and his friend made it to regionals and I was a super proud mom!
We got home from regionals and he would still practice at the courts until his racquet broke. You talk about upset. His tennis coach told him she thought he needed a better racquet this time and said I can order some off line and you can try them out and see if you like one f them. Well of course he chose the babalot.

After trying six different rackets I bought a Bobolat. had
it strung at 60 lbs, which my neighbor thought was too tight. Sure enough, it took me a few games to get used to the
tension. The racket is as good as the domo was - of course!
The best part is, I can play two or three sets without getting
a sore elbow because the racket only weighs 9.6 ounces, yet
it is steady, vibrationless, and I have good control with it.

To be honest it was for free when i purchased my new racquet Volkl organix v1. I am cheap, I know...So, the tension I used was 50lbs. For the first 15 min the string felt like a wire. No touch, rigid, no power. Then it started to work, it felt much better with decent power, better touch...Then it broke by the end of the first hour!!! I am not addicted to it!

Ive been playing with Babolats Addiction strings ever since I switched to the Aero Pro Drive racket. These are great strings for medium strength players, as they have some pop to them but have great feel. Also they last forever! I hardly every break them before they begin to show natural wear and tear.
Caveat: If youre really strong, youd probably prefer playing with deader strings that may last longer and allow you to swing through.

I used those unforgiving, polyester, hexagonal strings for about 18 months. My elbow was suffering greatly for it. So, my pro recommended low string tension and super soft, comfort oriented strings. Babolat delivers. I sacrifice no power or spin and they are easy on my elbow. I play 2-3 times per week. 4.0 Doubles and Singles. Prince O3 White, strung at the bottom of the range ~50lbs.
