Babolat Xcel 17

The Babolat Xcel 17 is a premium multifilament tennis string designed primarily for comfort and playability. Here are the key specifications and features:

• Gauge: 17 (1.25 mm), which typically offers more spin potential and feel compared to thicker gauges.
• Construction: Made from highly elastic polyamide fibers, this string features a dual coating of polyurethane, enhancing both comfort and durability.
• Tension Maintenance: Offers above-average tension maintenance, providing reliable control during play.
• Durability: While it provides good durability, it is slightly less durable than the 16-gauge version. It's excellent for players who prioritize comfort, akin to natural gut strings, making it a popular choice for hybrid setups.
• Color: Typically available in a natural (clear) color.

The Babolat Xcel 17 is particularly recommended for players looking for a blend of power and comfort without sacrificing too much in terms of durability
