Overview
NXT Control brings the crisp precision of polyester to the comfortable NXT line. Constructed with alternating bundles of firm polyester filaments and soft nylon fibers, it gives playtesters excellent control on their biggest swings while maintaining multifilament comfort. A great middle ground for players who want more control than standard NXT but can't handle pure polyester.
Best for
- Players wanting multifilament comfort with poly control
- Intermediate juniors with developing swings
- Those transitioning from multi to poly
- All-court players seeking balance
Not ideal for
- Maximum comfort seekers (standard NXT better)
- Heavy topspin players
