What is the difference between synthetic gut and multifilament tennis strings?

Asked a year ago
Synthetic gut and multifilament tennis strings have key differences in terms of construction and performance. Synthetic gut strings are typically made of a solid core with a single layer of monofilament or multifilament wraps. They offer durability, control, and are often more affordable. On the other hand, multifilament strings feature numerous thin fibers twisted together. This construction increases playability, comfort, and provides better shock absorption, making them a popular choice for players seeking more arm-friendly options. Multifilaments tend to provide better tension maintenance, a softer feel, and enhanced power, but they are generally less durable compared to synthetic guts. Selecting the appropriate string depends on players' preferences, playing style, and budget.
