Unlike standard smooth multifilaments, HEAD RIP Control features a composite construction of nylon microfilament core fibers wrapped with flexible \u003cb\u003epolyolefin ribbons\u003c\/b\u003e. This unique Ribbon Technology produces a slightly textured outer surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a string that plays noticeably firmer and lower-powered than classic \"springy\" multifilaments like Wilson NXT or HEAD Velocity MLT. It provides a muted, deadened impact feel with exceptional control and enhanced ball drag, making it one of the closest non-polyester alternatives to a co-poly. The \u003cb\u003eBlack\u003c\/b\u003e colorway adds a dark, low-profile look to your frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eControl \u0026amp; Precision: 9.5 \/ 10: \u003c\/b\u003eOutstanding directional control.
