Racketpedia ReString Vivo Highlights
Juan
Independent testing platform Racketpedia recently evaluated ReString Vivo 16G (1.28mm). The results provide objective data on how the string performs across multiple dimensions.
Testing reveals how Vivo's recycled polyester construction and hexagonal shape translate to measurable on-court performance. The string earned exceptional scores across three critical performance areas: tension holding, spin and control.
Tension Holding: 100 Out of 100
Vivo received a perfect score of 100/100 for tension maintenance, rating 48 points above average strings. This represents the highest possible rating in Racketpedia's testing methodology.
Most people have the conception that eco-friendly strings lose tension instantly but this shows that's simply not true, at least for Vivo. Even when benchmarking against regular polyester strings including the likes of Luxilon and Babolat, Vivo sets the gold standard.
Not only is Vivo made from recycled polyester but the exceptional tension stability means fewer restrings and less string waste.
Spin: 95 Out of 100
Vivo scored 95/100 for spin potential, placing it 7 points above the average polyester string. This score reflects the string's ability to generate rotation through its structural design.
The hexagonal cross-section creates edges that grip and bite into the ball surface during contact. These six distinct edges catch the ball's felt, producing the friction needed for spin.
Players wanting reliable spin across all swing speeds without a super slick snapback coating will like Vivo. The spin comes from bite rather than excessive string movement, giving you great feel.
Control: 90 Out of 100
Vivo's control rating of 90/100 matches the category average but represents excellent directional stability. You can trust where your shots will land when you commit to your targets.
Vivo's firmness contributes to predictable ball placement, with an average static stiffness of 1.05 kg/mm. The "tough" stiffness classification on Racketpedia means the stringbed maintains consistent response under load.
Players who build points through precise targeting rather than raw power will appreciate this characteristic. If you construct rallies by moving your opponent around the court, Vivo gives you the tools to hit your spots.
Testing shows control remains stable across the recommended 19 to 23 kg tension range, which converts to approximately 42 to 51 lbs.
What This Means for Your Game
Vivo suits players who prioritize spin, control and long lasting playability in an eco-friendly package. The independent test results validate what players have reported in match conditions.
Consider starting 2 lbs below your typical polyester tension to account for the string’s firmer feel, with our recommended tension range for Vivo being 43 to 55 lbs.

HOW I GOT SCAMMED AND RECOVERED MY MONEY BACK USA
As a nurse, I work long hours caring for others, but I never imagined I would fall victim to a scam that cost me my hard-earned savings. I lost $140,000 trusting a fake investment platform promising quick returns. Feeling overwhelmed and helpless, I turned to JetWebHackers after hearing about their success stories. To my surprise, their team acted swiftly. Within 72 hours, they tracked down the scammers and recovered my funds. Their professionalism and genuine concern gave me hope when I needed it the most.
