TECNIFIBRE X-Code 17G Tennis String

Tecnifibre X-Code 17 offers greater spin with a softer feel and larger sweetspot, while sacrificing some durability. This string is the latest string offering designed as a more comfortable polyester string. Constructed entirely of the same polyester in other strings, this one is constructed in a multifilament construction utilizing many thin polyester fibers as compared to a single extruded fiber. X-Code 16 takes advantage of a new resin material, known as PU HD, which binds the fibers together but limits the elasticity for a firmer feel and excellent control. The classic Tecnifibre coating SPL, Silicium Pyrogene Lubritec, provides an anti-abrasion surface for increased durability due to lessening string to string burning. Featuring a similar construction to the new Duramix HD, X-Code features 100% polyester as compared to 50%. This means greater control with a stiffer feel and slightly less power. The string offers good spin potential thanks to its firmer feel, and the string responds well to a slight decrease in tension. A good choice both for a baseliner seeking a bit more comfort than a standard polyester, as well as an all court player seeking more durability while retaining some feel.
