Volkl V-Fuse

The V-Fuse combines the plush, comfortable feel of natural gut with the spin and durability of a ten-sided polyester string. This hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds: the power and touch of gut paired with the bite and control of a shaped poly.

Putting the natural gut in the mains provides a softer, more powerful feel with better touch. If you prioritize spin, placing the polyester in the mains will give you more bite on the ball, while the gut crosses will keep the string bed from feeling too harsh or stiff.

While 17-gauge strings are thinner and offer better feel and spin than 16-gauge, the polyester component in this hybrid adds significant durability. It is a balanced choice for players who want performance without sacrificing longevity, though heavy topspin hitters may still see faster wear.

This string is ideal for intermediate to advanced players who want the comfort of natural gut but find a full bed of gut too powerful or lacking in spin. It is a great all-around choice for anyone looking to upgrade their control and feel without losing durability.

Because you are mixing two very different materials, it is important to communicate your preference for the main and cross strings to your stringer. Additionally, natural gut is sensitive to moisture and tension loss, so ensure your stringer is experienced with handling high-quality gut.
