Multifilament Synthetic Strings This is a coreless string constructed with multiple synthetic fibres that are twisted in a manner similar to that of natural gut. Fibres vary in thickness and number from only a few to as many as a few thousand micro-fibres. The main advantage is playability, feel and comfort. However, multifilament strings tend to stretch and lose tension more quickly than strings with a center core. Advancements in coating processing have dramatically reduced most fraying, thus increasing durability. This has greatly improved tension maintenance as well. This type of string is an excellent choice for players suffering from elbow, shoulder and wrist pain. It is also much more affordable than natural gut.
