Chosen by the game's greatest players including Serena Williams and Roger Federer, Luxilon Natural Gut offers all of the benefits that natural guts are renowed for, such as power and comfort, but with much more control (something that other natural guts historically lacked). One of the softest strings available, Luxilon Natural Gut is a unique string that offers the closest combination of power, comfort and feel, making it perfect for hybrid combinations.

While not as powerful and comfortable as premium multifilaments and natural guts, synthetic gut strings are much more suitable for intermediate players as they offer more all-round performance at a cheaper price. Babolat Spiraltek is our favourite synthetic gut as it offers a nice blend of comfort and power, but with additional control and durability that premium multifilaments often lack. Perfect for players looking for an all-round string that offers excellent power and comfort with extra spin potential.

Wondering which multifilament doesn’t compromise on control? Look no further. Thanks to increased durability and a tougher construction, Babolat Xcel provides players with the power and comfort that players have always loved, but with increased control that you don’t usually get from multifilaments, in addition to a crisp feel.

Not every multifilament is designed to offer unrelenting power. Players also need to take into account that, while your shots need to powerful, they also need to be accurate. Head RIP Control offers a unique blend of control and comfort, making it the perfect choice for advanced players looking for a softer feel. If you’re an ex-poly player that wants as much control as possible without compromising on comfort, you should take a serious look at this string.

One of the oldest and most iconic strings in tennis history, Wilson Sensation set the standard for power and comfort strings for decades, thanks to its familiar combination of exceptional power and soft, arm-friendly feel. While other multifilaments may have extra technology, choosing Wilson Sensation is almost never a bad choice.
