🎵 String strategy for each frame

These are different rackets — they deserve different string setups.

Clash 100 v3

Very flexible frame (RA 54) — arm-friendly. Pair with a crisp co-poly like Luxilon ALU Power Rough at 54–58 lbs to add control and prevent the string bed feeling too elastic.

VCORE 98+ (2021)

Balanced stiffness (RA 66). A mid-stiffness co-poly like Babolat RPM Team or Wilson Revolve at 52–56 lbs gives a comfortable all-court setup without sacrificing spin or control.

⚖️ Specs Equalizer

Can I make these specs match?

To match the swingweight of the VCORE 98+ (2021) (SW 334), add 20g of lead tape at the 12 o'clock position on the Clash 100 v3. This raises its swingweight from 308 to approximately 334 kg·cm².
