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

Liked 2 sources

Tennis Warehouse's playtesters and a long run of customer reviews describe Focus Hex 17 as a control-first co-poly that bites the ball well without feeling harsh, and several owners single out its tension maintenance as unusually good for a thin poly. Power is rated middle-of-the-road to low, so it suits players who already generate their own pace.

Best for

Control and all-court players
Players who want poly durability without a harsh feel
Players who generate their own pace and spin
Full bed or hybrid main in dense string patterns

Pros

Strong, consistent control reported by both testers and owners
Comfortable and crisp feel for a co-polyester, not overly stiff
Good spin bite from the hexagonal profile
Holds tension and playability longer than many thin-gauge polys, per repeat buyers

Cons

Power is middle-of-the-road to low, not a string for players needing added pop
Spin is good but not rated among the best of the spin-focused polys
A few users noted some tension loss creeping in after two to three weeks of play
