Babolat AddiXion + 12M Tennis String , Natural

The Babolat AddiXion 12M (Natural) is a high-performance multifilament string designed for players who seek a perfect balance between comfort, power, and enhanced durability. While it belongs to the same comfort family as Babolat Xcel, AddiXion is engineered to be slightly more resilient, making it an excellent "workhorse" string for club players.

The Natural colorway provides a classic, clean look that mimics the appearance of natural gut.

Performance Profile

1. Arm-Friendly Comfort: AddiXion is composed of highly elastic polyamide fibers immersed in a polyurethane (PU) matrix. This construction effectively absorbs shock and dampens harsh vibrations, making it a "soft" string that is gentle on the elbow and shoulder.
2. Dynamic Power: Due to its multifilament construction, the string bed acts like a trampoline, providing easy depth and ball speed. It is particularly helpful for players with shorter or more compact swings who need the string to do more of the work.
3. Enhanced Durability: What sets AddiXion apart from standard multifilaments is the inclusion of Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) fibers. These low-friction fibers are integrated into the string to reduce heat buildup and friction between the strings, which helps prevent premature snapping and extends the string's life.
4. Supple Feel: It offers a very "connected" and plush sensation at impact, giving the player great confidence on touch shots, lobs, and volleys.

Best Suited For

1. Frequent String Breakers (Multifilament Users): Ideal for players who love the feel of a soft string but find that standard multifilaments wear out or "notch" too quickly.
2. Club & Recreational Players: Those looking for a high-quality, all-around string that provides a premium feel without the high price tag of natural gut.
3. Intermediate Players: Great for those who want a bit more "pop" on their shots and a larger, more forgiving sweet spot.
4. Hybrid Setups: Works exceptionally well as a cross string when paired with a polyester main to create a durable, spin-friendly, yet comfortable hybrid.

Usage Tips

1. Fraying: Similar to other premium multifilaments, AddiXion will begin to fray (look "hairy") as you play. This is normal and is a sign that the fibers are absorbing impact as intended.
2. Tension: To maintain a good balance of control and power, most players string AddiXion in the 53–58 lbs range. If you are seeking maximum comfort, aim for the lower end of that scale.
