Tecnifibre Razor Soft
High Modulus Polyester with melted polyurethane additive core
Performance ratings
Overview
Developed for Daniil Medvedev, who wanted more power and pocketing than Razor Code. Constructed with the same high-modulus polyester but with a unique polyurethane additive melted into the core. Despite the name "Razor SOFT," this is not a soft string - it offers more pocketing than Razor Code while maintaining excellent control. A firm but not harsh string with excellent control on full swings. Outstanding playability duration - a well-known weakness of co-poly monofilaments. Medvedev has had his best seasons since switching to Razor Soft.

- Intermediate to advanced players wanting control with pocketing
- Players who find Razor Code too firm
- Those who like Yonex Poly Tour Pro or Head Lynx Tour
