Comments: The last two sets I've purchased and strung with seem to have durability issues, as in broken main after two matches. I've been buying VS for several years without this issue, so I'm hoping it's just a questionable batch? The price has also gone up in the last six months which I can live with (assuming supply chain), but I'm disappointed in the durability. Granted, it's the hot and humid time of year and that's likely implicated. I've also just purchased another set so I'll see how that goes. P.S. I love the feel of the strings and how easy it is on my arm, hence the 4 stars.

Comments: Never tried it in a full bed, but hybrid with a smooth poly (I use Wilson Revolve) is a very nice blend of comfort and spin. It can be too powerful at times compared to a poly, but man is it so much more comfortable. Even soft co-poly strings in a full bed are uncomfortable (i.e. Isospeed Cream, Yonex Poly Tour Air). Would highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort/spin. I recommend gut @ 55lbs, smooth poly @ 50lbs. p.s. I string my own racquets and have not had any issues/difficulty with stringing this. I was reluctant to try initially as I've read you have to be very careful with gut, but I'm glad I did.

Comments: Expensive, but in my opinion, the best natural gut on the market!

Comments: I have used only these strings for some time now. I started because of tennis elbow after reading that natural gut was kinder to the arm. I stayed with them when the elbow issue resolved because I love the feel and responsiveness of the strings.

Comments: Hands down the best natural gut string on the market. I have tried others but I always think to myself that it wasn't worth it to save a few bucks. I have been using this string for a decade and nothing else compares. Expensive but worth it!

Comments: Finally caved. I set up mains with Babolat Touch VS 16 at 55 and the crosses with Wilson Revolve 17 at 53 pounds. Absolutely love it! I honestly think it's perfect: comfort, feel, control, depth and spin access.

Comments: Strung my mains with this on my Phantom Prince 93P. Loved the way it felt, offered loads of spin potential with Luxilon ALU Rough on the crosses. Plenty of control and was able to easily reuse other players pace. The cons unfortunately are stronger than the pros. It's not a cheap string.Durability, I'm not even that hard of a hitter. I am approximately a 4.0-4.5 level player. The strings lasted me all of three weeks before a main popped right in the sweetspot. I play three times a week for approximately three hours each. So I'd fashion a guess at just under 40 hours of play. If you want to spend the money and don't have an issue restringing often. Use it, it's good stuff.

Comments: The local tennis sage keeps saying that 70% of a racquet is strings. I've experimented a lot with racquets, lead, leather grips, but never found my tennis nirvana. When I started playing tennis some will dispute this vehemently in 2005, I had this string in my sticks, but wandered off to poly for the spin my coaches expected from me. Now I'll be back. My priority has shifted to preventing never had one. Tennis Elbow, and I gladly pick up the optimal playability of this string as well. The only string which combines touch, control, and power. Spin is just sufficient to place shots. Durability, you can safely play with it until it breaks, holds me for about two to three months, while you should change a poly string at least every four weeks. If you are an extreme topspin player, stay clear of this one. If you are a deft, touch player placing his shots with brain, this one might be the positive surprise that it was for me.

Comments: Okay, so I've been using VS Touch 16 gauge in the mains with Volkl Cyclone 17 gauge in the crosses, in my Prince Phantom Pro 100, with the VS strung at 53 lbs and the Cyclone at 48 lbs. I have played four doubles matches to date (3 sets each) with solid 4.0-4.5 players, so 8+ hours of play time to date. I have a history of tennis elbow so I was a bit hesitant to try the Cyclone even in a hybrid set up. I had previously tried various so-called "softer" co-polys in a number of different hybrid combinations, and frankly, the poly combined with the higher stiffness of previous racquets, even when I strung as a hybrid at low tensions, eventually produced the arm problem. But now, with the VS Touch in the mains of my arm-friendly Prince Phantom Pro 100, I am astonished. The comfort and playability are fantastic. Absolutely love this combo.

Comments: This is for the black colored string. I've used dozens of cheap guts and other brands of guts and I have to say Babolat makes really good quality stuff. This strung up nicely in a tour 90.
From: Don, 12/9/21

Comments: It's great in my Volkl super G mid 330. Main gut at 22 crosses Alu power at 20.By far best combo in every way. Price performance is also great as full poly needs to be restrung every week (for me) but this combo last for over 6 weeks already. I am coaching daily 6+ hours.I will never put nothing else for main string only GUT!!!

Comments: I'm level 4 singles player and play 4 matches (3 sets) a week. I use Babolat Pure Drive+ 2018 racquet. I strung this @55lbs in mains and cross with Lux4G soft @ 52Lbs. Previously I was using RPM Blast 18g @52 lbs full bed, I do more topspin shots and but my depth was lacking. After trying with this hybrid, my topspin remained same and the pace and depth was too good. My opponent who I used to play with him regularly, told me that my shots are too powerful and ball bounces bit high than before, due to topspin and power. Big plus!! Moreover I do not feel any stiffness in my arm or shoulder. Overall my volleys, slices, backhand improved a lot. Only thing I struggled was my server. I do more slice, kick servers. Since this string has more power, I was not able to control the servers to keep it in. Overall very good hybrid string!! Worth for the money!

Comments: Attention Babolat rep! First I want to say that the string is remarkable. It's very durable, holds tension nicely and nothing feels or plays as well. Second I want to report that most all of the sets are short. I use this string in the mains of an 18x20 frame so I really need the package stated lengths of 20' and 40'. I always measure the string with a tape measure before stringing so I know what I have to work with. Especially when I buy the 40' set and intend to cut it directly in the middle for two hybrid string jobs. Many times the 20' set has been 19'-2" and the 40' set has been 39'-2". I hope this can be corrected. We do pay a premium price for your top of the line product. Thanks.
