Monofilament vs. Multifilament Strings: Which is Best for You?
When it comes to choosing the right tennis strings, players often find themselves deciding between monofilament and multifilament options. Each type has unique characteristics that impact power, control, durability, and comfort. At Meehan Tennis Academy, we stock a range of strings to suit different playing styles and preferences. But which do you choose? Here’s a guide to help you decide which string type will help you get the best out of your game.
Monofilament strings are made from a single solid material, usually polyester or co-polyester, which makes them firm and durable. These strings provide excellent control and spin potential, making them a great choice for players who hit with high intensity and need precision in their game. However, monofilament strings tend to be stiffer and may not offer as much comfort as multifilament options.
Best for: Advanced players, heavy hitters, and those looking for durability and control.

Multifilament strings are made from multiple fibers woven together, offering a softer, more elastic feel. These strings provide excellent power and comfort, making them ideal for players who prioritise arm-friendly performance and a responsive touch. They are particularly well-suited for beginners, intermediate players, and those who experience arm discomfort.
Best for: Beginners, club players, and those seeking comfort, power, and easy playability.

If you’re an advanced player who generates a lot of spin and power monofilament strings like HEAD Hawk, HEAD Lynx Tour, or HEAD Hawk Power will provide the control and durability you need.
