Multifilament strings have universal appeal for all levels and are typically more comfortable than solid core strings due to the cushioning effect of hundreds or even thousands of microfibers. They have a high level of playability and are especially recommended for players suffering from arm problems.
Typical tension recommended for multifilament strings is 45 lbs (20 kgs) to 60 lbs (27 kgs).
