It’s hard to exaggerate the impact Babolat VS Touch has had on the game of tennis. It was launched in 1925, and if you consider the list of iconic tennis players who have used it or the number of historic matches that it has graced, Babolat VS Touch is literally the stuff of legend. The defining features of this string come from its composition. Made of extremely elastic natural fibers, VS Touch is the most comfortable and powerful string we’ve playtested to date. But it’s not just soft and powerful. What truly separates VS Touch is the feel. Unlike strings made from synthetic fibers, VS Touch not only feels wonderfully crisp, but it also somehow manages to stay comfortable and responsive at very high tensions. In addition to its hefty price and the typical fraying common with natural gut, our biggest knock on VS Touch was that it lacked the spin and control we get from a full bed of stiff polyester. This problem can be mitigated by using higher tensions or installing VS Touch in a hybrid, which is the chosen configuration on the pro tour. Ultimately, though, if you’re looking for a string with maximum comfort, maximum power and maximum tension maintenance, we think Babolat VS Touch is as good as it gets. Did we mention the feel?
