MSV Focus Hex Soft 17/1.20 String
Line: MSV Focus Hex Soft
$8.99
MSV Focus Hex Soft is a comfortably firm monofilament with exceptional playability and feel for a control string. The response is slightly softer than the original Focus Hex, with a little more power and comfort off-center. The sharp edges deliver exceptional bite. Best suited to big hitters in search of heavy spin and control along with above average comfort.

What players say
Customer reviews on Tennis Warehouse and an independent test from Racketpedia agree this co-poly delivers strong spin and control with good tension maintenance. Opinions split on power and comfort: some buyers call it soft and surprisingly powerful, while Racketpedia's bench test rates it low on comfort and fairly stiff, and one buyer found power very low and needed high racquet speed to get the most from it.
Best for
- Players who want heavy spin and control from a co-poly
- Big hitters with fast racquet speed
- Hybrid setups paired with a softer cross or main
- Players who restring often rather than needing long durability
Pros
- Strong, immediate access to spin thanks to the hexagonal profile
- Control praised by multiple reviewers, with good bite on the ball
- Several buyers report good tension maintenance over the string's life
- Some reviewers find it comfortable even at higher tensions
Cons
- Racketpedia's bench test rates comfort low and stiffness fairly high
- One Tennis Warehouse reviewer found power very low and said it needed a lot of racquet speed to perform
- Durability views vary; one reviewer who liked it was still waiting to see if it would hold up as a main string
- Little independent video or forum coverage exists for this exact 17/1.20 gauge
