Babolat VS Touch Tennis String

As a natural gut string, VS Touch offers a level of elasticity and ball pocketing that synthetic materials cannot replicate. It provides a distinct, plush feel at impact that is significantly more arm-friendly and responsive than standard multifilament or polyester strings.

While natural gut is naturally softer, the VS Touch features BT7 coating and Thermogut technology, which improve its durability by 25% over traditional gut. It is suitable for a full bed if you prioritize comfort and power, though heavy topspin players often prefer it in a hybrid setup to extend its lifespan.

Yes, the Thermogut technology provides a 60% improvement in humidity resistance compared to older gut strings. While it is still a natural material and should be protected from extreme moisture, this coating prevents the string from fraying or losing playability as quickly in humid conditions.

Many players pair VS Touch with a stiffer polyester string in a hybrid setup. By placing the VS Touch in the mains, you retain the signature power and comfort, while the polyester cross strings add control and significantly increase the overall durability of the string bed.

The 1.35mm (15L) gauge offers maximum durability and a slightly firmer feel, making it a reliable choice for those who break strings often. The 1.30mm (16g) gauge is thinner, providing a more responsive feel and superior ball bite, though it will wear down slightly faster.
