Tecnifibre TGV
Elastyl Polyurethane bundles with 45% PU400 and SPL coating
Performance ratings
Overview
Tecnifibre TGV is described as the softest string on the market. Unlike NRG2 which focuses on power, TGV prioritizes control and comfort. The composite micro fiber bundles give dynamic properties while 45% Polyurethane 400 can stretch up to 400% of its length, providing comfort by reducing shock and vibration. Coated with SPL to reduce notching and wear. Excellent tension hold over time. Recommended for young players seeking quality multifilament with maximum control and comfort, and for players prone to forearm tendinitis.
