Grapplesnake Solider features outrageous tension maintenance, a generous playability duration and massive grip on the ball. This string is 7-sided (heptagonal) and is treated with Grapplesnake’s bespoke “abrasive surface,” giving it a sand-paper texture for improved ball-bite and auditory feedback.
Our first ever product collab! Beckett co-developed this string with the mad scientists at Toroline for the snappiest and most responsive combo possible. The softer main string (O-Toro Pink) snaps aggressively against the firmer cross string (O-Toro Snap Tour Flex), offering reduced ball pocketing compared to a soft-cross-setup for a crisper, more responsive and control oriented setup. Expect big power and big spin on every shot!
Toroline’s best string for flat hitters, Caviar delivers easy depth with superior directional control. This string plays awesome in tighter patterned racquets!
Tour Sniper’s twin sister who’s also a better cook and less controlling of how often you play video games with your friend Simon. Here, you’ll get a softer feel, more ball-pocketing, easier power while retaining tour-level directional control.

Developed in collaboration with Jonas Eriksson of Tennisnerd, VAMOS is a shaped evolution of A5 — engineered for players who want more bite and a higher launch without sacrificing the connected response that made A5 a favorite among advanced players.
