Strings for Your Level
Below are our top picks for beginner and intermediate adult players. Every string is installed by our certified stringers using professional equipment.
Diadem Impulse 16g / 17g — Full Bed
$33
Tension
52–56 lbs
String life
35–50 hours
Available colors
Natural · Black
Why we recommend it
“The string I put in 80% of adult beginner/intermediate racquets. Super-soft multifilament, massive power, zero arm pain — feels like natural gut for half the price.”
Diadem SG Ultra 16g — Full Bed
$28
Tension
54–58 lbs
String life
30–45 hours
Available colors
Natural · Black
Why we recommend it
“If you want something a little more affordable or like the classic synthetic gut feel but better — the textured surface gives noticeably more spin and durability than a normal syn gut while staying buttery soft.”
Hybrid: Diadem Solstice Power 17g Mains + Impulse 16g Crosses
$38
Tension
Mains: 48–52 lbs
Crosses: 52–56 lbs
String life
15–25 hours
Available colors
Mains: Teal · Black
Crosses: Natural · Black
Why we recommend it
“For the stronger intermediate (3.5+) who’s ready for spin but still wants arm comfort. You get big spin and control from the shaped poly mains, but the soft Impulse crosses keep it forgiving and powerful.”
