What is “Soft”?
For many years, we have been testing string for elongation and subsequent power potential.
There is a new batch of strings that include the term “soft” in the promotional language, seemingly in an effort to mitigate the injuries associated with very stiff strings.
At some point, we can go into detail about how the soft version of a string compares to the non-soft version; however, for now, I want to reintroduce you to a post we did in 2016… almost ten (10) years ago!

Thank you for reading this again. It is important “Play Harder not Hurter™”
A Golden (actually gloss black) Opportunity!
We have four (4) Head Auxetic Radical MP SMUs (351.1), but this is the only one in gloss black! All of them can be gloss black, but this is the only one that is currently available.
The racquet is totally “raw,” no weight, no grip, no swing weight, and no length, yet!
Head 351.1
This racquet will be set up to your specifications.
Your racquet will come with a complete specification document.
You can choose either a leather or a synthetic base grip.
Your racquet will be strung with Ashaway MonoGut ZX Pro (17-gauge), either black or natural, to introduce you to the benefits of PEEK.
The cost of this opportunity is $525.00, including tax and shipping in the United States.
Please contact us if you have any questions about this or any of our other SMU racquets.
The Consumer and SBS
Sting Bed Stiffness (SBS) could be considered alongside performance cars. In the simplest of terms, a high-performance car requires some understanding of what it is going to do; otherwise, you will end up in the trees or worse!
The same with String Bed Stiffness (SBS). If you don’t know what it is going to do, you may end up in the fence!
Play Comfortably
Normally, when we think “comfort” we think string. However, in this case, we are talking about the tennis racquet!
Recently, some brands have introduced the “fun/comfort” genre.
The Yonex Muse series is one of the few Yonex models made in China rather than Japan.
