Kilos down! The trend is towards soft strings

In general, the trend is towards softer strings between 20 and 23 kg. Gone are the days when
pros like Thomas Muster put their rackets in the icebox with 30 kg and a small head to create an even grippier feel at impact. However, current extreme examples such as Laura Siegemund or Adrian Mannarino, who string their rackets with around nine to ten kg, are also the exception.

Our experts Dirk and Patrice got to the bottom of this question of faith and present five top recommendations each for soft and hard strings. They used the full range of round, square, soft, roughened multifilament and monofilament strings made of polyester and natural gut.
