Who it is for

Advancing and competitive players looking for multifilament with a medium response.

Why it works

HEAD RIP Control is a multifilament with polyolefin wrap string in 1.25 mm and 1.30 mm; the round profile gives it a predictable, even string bed.

Watch-outs

Softer strings move and fray sooner than polyester; expect more frequent restrings.

Strengths

Comfortable response
Predictable string bed

Trade-offs

Less durable than polyester
Gauge changes feel; try one step either way
