Player Review
On court, Addixion+ delivers a noticeably soft and comfortable response, making it especially appealing for players who prioritise arm care. Groundstrokes feel easy to accelerate, with the string providing natural depth without requiring heavy swing effort. At the net, touch and control are reliable, allowing for confident volleys and drop shots. While it does not offer the aggressive spin or crisp response of polyester strings, it compensates with comfort, forgiveness, and consistent feel across all shot types.
