🎵 String strategy for each frame

These are different rackets — they deserve different string setups.

Clash 100L v3

Very flexible frame (RA 54) — arm-friendly. Pair with a crisp co-poly like Luxilon ALU Power Rough at 54–58 lbs to add control and prevent the string bed feeling too elastic.

Black Ace (315)

Very flexible frame (RA 56) — arm-friendly. Pair with a crisp co-poly like Luxilon ALU Power Rough at 54–58 lbs to add control and prevent the string bed feeling too elastic.
