🎵 String strategy for each frame

These are different rackets — they deserve different string setups.

EZONE 98 (2025)

Balanced stiffness (RA 63). 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.

Percept 100

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?
