Babolat Addiction


Nice choice for the player looking for power, comfort, and feel. However, it plays slightly firmer than its counterpart XCel, offering less power and a bit more control. This would be a great choice for the all-court player looking for the soft feel of a multifilament, but wanting a little more control and durability.

Notes:

Stiffness index is a measure of how firm a string feels upon installation.  The lower the number, the softer the string; a higher number represents a stiffer feeling string.  Additionally, a lower value indicates a stringbed that supplies more power, while a higher stiffness index means the player must supply the power.

Tension loss represents the total amount of string relaxation both over a defined amount of time and impact in a test environment.  Values are measured in pounds, with higher values indicating a greater tension loss, and lower values represent less tension loss.

Data for Stiffness Index and Tension Loss taken from USRSA test results.
