How it plays — our read

On the numbers, the TR160 is built around maneuverability and forgiveness. Its control is the softest spot, so weigh that against what you prioritise. It is easy to swing and quick to maneuver, which suits developing strokes, doubles reflexes, and longer sessions. Arm comfort is middle-of-the-road: fine for most players, worth softer strings if you are sensitive.

String and tension recommender

Setup
Multifilament/poly hybrid
Tension
48-54 lbs / 22-24.5 kg
A slightly firmer setup can sharpen directional control. Do not chase control with high tension if comfort drops. Pre-strung or cheap multi.
