NRG2 16
Tecnifibre NRG2 16 is widely regarded as the most comfortable multifilament string available, and a top recommendation from tennis coaches for players with arm injuries or elbow sensitivity. The elastomer-treated fibers deliver exceptional shock absorption that significantly reduces vibration transmission — a meaningful difference for players who struggle with elbow discomfort from polyester strings. Power at 8.8/10 is higher than any polyester in this database, making NRG2 an excellent choice for recreational and intermediate players who want to generate pace without requiring aggressive swing speeds. Tecnifibre''s expertise in comfort-first strings, developed for its flagship Pro Red Code multifilaments, is on full display.
