On this page you can purchase Velvet in reels (one reel is enough string
for 9 to 10 racquets). Velvet is a very soft and forgiving
multi-filament tennis string. For a premium multi-filament, its
durability is above average while its price is well below that of
comparable strings. Velvet performs great on its own but is also a very
popular choice as the cross string in hybrid setups (usually with a
polyester
string in the mains).

Specifications
CONSTRUCTION: Multi-filament core, multi-filament wrap, with a
polyester ribbon inserted between (multi-filament core, nylon based).
DESCRIPTION: A soft and very responsive string. This multi-filament string's surprising durability is owed to a polyester ribbon inserted between its multi-filament core and outer wrap.

What is the 'gauge' of a string and why does it matter?
-1- Thinner gauges will yield higher elasticity
and greater spin potential
-2- Thicker gauges are more durable and retain
tension longer
-3- Lower gauges are thicker than higher gauges
(16 gauge is thicker than 17 gauge)

Beyond aesthetics, does the color of a tennis string matter?
Theoretically, the mechanical properties of a tennis string could be
affected by the dye used to color it. However, these effects are
generally not significant enough to be noticed. For the vast majority of
players, beyond aesthetic considerations, tennis string color does not
matter.

Sets versus Reels
A 40ft/12.2m set of tennis string is an adequate length to restring
almost any tennis racquet. 660ft/200m reels contain a length adequate to
restring approximately 18 racquets.
It costs less to package, handle and transport reels and therefore, per
unit length, reels are more cost effective than sets. As well, when
restringing from sets, usually a couple of feet of string are left over
(waste) since most racquets do not require an entire 40ft/12.2m. When
restringing from reels, waste can be minimized by accurately measuring
the required string lengths before removal.
From an ease of restringing standpoint, since it is not coiled as
tightly, string taken from a reel tends to be easier to handle during
installation.
