Overview

Yonex Rexis Comfort is Yonex's softest high-end multifilament, built with FORTIMO - a highly elastic polyurethane developed by Mitsui Chemicals. The resin is plasma-bonded to nylon filaments at the molecular level for improved repulsion and durability. "Best String for Tennis Elbow" - many report it's the only string that let them continue playing after months of pain. Plush, smooth and connected feel that pockets the ball beautifully. Touch shots, lobs and drop shots are especially easy. Limited durability (some report 2.5 hours) - better suited for up to 4.0 level players.
