Who it is for
Advancing and competitive players looking for polyester with a firm response.
Why it works
Babolat Origin is a co-polyester string in 1.25 mm and 1.30 mm; the round profile gives it a predictable, even string bed.
Watch-outs
Polyester loses tension quickly and is harsh on sensitive arms — restring regularly and drop tension rather than pushing it.
