String Recommendations

Primary Recommendation

Hybrid setup (poly in mains, multifilament in crosses) strung at 52 lbs.
Provides excellent all around performance combining comfort, control, and spin access.

For more spin, string a full bed of polyester or reduce string tension.

For more comfort, switch to a full bed of multifilament string.

For more control, increase string tension or switch to a polyester string.

Great racquet!

Great racquet! My son uses it for his high school tennis team. The racquet provides a lot of power on his serve and good touch at the net. He has tried higher priced racquets but always goes back to his Carve.

Love this racket!!! Replaced my prostaff v14.

Love this racket!! I had been playing with the Prostaff 97v14, but found it heavy after an hour and a half of hitting and no help when footwork or strokes weren’t perfect. This Adtouch racket has been exactly what I needed. It does feel like 80% prostaff, 20% blade. It is lighter, but not by much - still feels solid and doesn’t bother my elbow, I get plenty of control, able to get spin when I want it and flatten out shots when I want. Sweet spot feels bigger - able to get depth when hitting defensively but doesn’t feel launchy. Easier to maneuver for volleys. The only small negatives for me are that there’s slightly less power on my flat serves, but I’ve added a couple of grams at noon and that seems to have solved for that - and I don’t love the sound it makes when you hit - just a little “twangy”, but I don’t use a dampener. I use it exclusively now - so worth the price. Fantastic racket!
