MSV Focus Hex 17L/1.18 String
Line: MSV Focus Hex
$8.90
Featuring a hexagonal profile for increased ball bite and spin production, Focus Hex is a great choice for today's power player. Provides a high level of control and a softer feel than traditional polyester strings, this string is hexagonal version of Co-Focus. We found excellent access to spin when testing this string. Comfort was also impressive for a co-poly and the thin gauge offers some useful pop.

What players say
MSV Focus Hex is a hexagonal co-polyester that players rate well for control and spin bite when fresh, at a low price. Opinions split on comfort and on how long the spin and feel hold up, with some stringers reporting a stiff, arm-sore bed and others calling it one of the softer polys they've tried.
