Multifilament Tennis String FAQ's

What are multifilament tennis strings?

Multifilament strings are made by weaving thousands of microfibres together, usually coated with a resin, to replicate the soft feel of natural gut strings. They offer exceptional comfort, power, and feel, making them a popular choice for players seeking arm-friendly strings.

Who are multifilament strings best suited for?

Multifilament strings are ideal for players suffering from tennis elbow or other arm discomfort, as they absorb vibrations effectively. They are also great for those who prioritise power and comfort over spin and durability.

How do multifilament strings compare to polyester strings?

Multifilament strings are softer and more elastic than polyester, providing more comfort and power but less durability and spin potential. Polyester strings, by contrast, offer better control and spin but are stiffer and less forgiving on the arm.

Do multifilament strings lose tension quickly?

No, multifilament strings maintain tension better than polyester or hybrid setups. Their performance remains consistent for players who restring regularly or are not heavy string breakers.

Are multifilament strings durable?

While softer and less durable than polyester, multifilament strings are more durable than natural gut. Players who don’t hit with excessive spin or power often find them sufficiently long-lasting.

What are the advantages of using multifilament strings?

Multifilament strings offer:

  • Exceptional comfort for reduced risk of arm injuries.
  • Powerful response with easy depth on shots.
  • Great touch and feel, making them ideal for finesse players.

What are the downsides of multifilament strings?

The main downsides are lower durability and reduced spin potential compared to polyester strings. They also tend to fray over time, which can lead to breakage.

Can multifilament strings be used in a hybrid setup?

Yes, multifilament strings are commonly used in hybrid string setups. Pairing them with polyester in the mains provides comfort and power while retaining spin and durability.

What string tension works best with multifilament strings?

A tension range of 22-26 kg (48-58 lbs) is typically recommended for multifilaments to optimise their comfort and power. Higher tensions may reduce their elasticity, while lower tensions maximise power and feel.

Which players use multifilament strings?

Players of all levels, from recreational to advanced, can benefit from multifilaments. They’re particularly popular among older players, junior players, and those recovering from arm injuries.
