Overview

Hyper-G Soft is a softer high-performance co-polyester string designed to offer playability and control while generating extreme power and intense spin. It utilizes a newly developed softening chemical formula with improved tension maintenance. All the spin benefits of original Hyper-G with a more forgiving, arm-friendly response. The improved tension maintenance means the string stays playable longer.

  • Juniors transitioning to polyester
