There’s a new term going around… co-poly. Meaning they mix so many other things into it, you can no longer call it a polyester. But let’s be real. It’s still polyester and behaves like polyester. Honestly it’s never going to NOT be kind of a jerk on your joints but they are starting to make them less, jerk-like.
HOWEVER, they are FINALLY developing more comfortable polyesters and there is one in particular that was created which has about the same stiffness as a nylon and it maintains its tension (it still looses playability in about 1 match – for me at least). That polyester is white and it’s called CREAM. It is one of the tried and true polyesters which I believe is the OG and the GOAT of “soft” polyesters.
And because polyesters are so popular, they’re now infusing multifilaments with polyester to more closely emulate the characteristics of polyesters. At first I was skeptical but these infused multifilaments are actually pretty darn amazing. Multis are famous for vibration dampening and arm comfort. They’re also known to be too powerful for modern racquets. The infused polyester really tames the power of multis.
So why not make a hybrid of polyester infused multifilament and the OG of soft polyesters?? These two are actually a match made in heaven and work so incredibly well together. I prefer multi mains and polyester crosses but either combination has proven to work really well even for high level players.
- tried and tested in 16×19 98+ sized stiff racquets
- maintains tension extremely well for a multifilament/polyester hybrid
- multifilament thickness options of 16 or 15L
