If you’re after comfort, power, and feel, nothing beats a premium multifilament string. Ideal for players with arm sensitivity or anyone seeking a softer, more forgiving string bed, multifilaments have made a huge comeback in 2025. Whether you're recovering from tennis elbow or just prefer a plush feel on contact, the right soft string can transform your game.

At Tennis Ranch Australia, we’ve curated the best multifilament strings from trusted brands like Babolat, Wilson, Tecnifibre, and more—each offering unique benefits for different playing styles.

1. Tecnifibre X-One Biphase – Elite Comfort & Power

Consistently ranked as the best multifilament tennis string on the market, Tecnifibre X-One Biphase offers a gut-like feel with outstanding power and comfort.

  • Superior arm-friendliness thanks to Elastyl fibres and PU400 inside coating
  • Excellent tension maintenance for long-term playability
  • Perfect for intermediate to advanced players seeking both feel and pop
“If you want a soft string that rivals natural gut for comfort and control, X-One Biphase is the gold standard.”

2. Wilson NXT – Classic Feel with a Modern Edge

A long-time favourite, Wilson NXT is crafted for players looking for reliable cushioning and power without compromising touch. Its multi-strand composition mimics natural gut performance at a fraction of the cost.

  • PU-bonded microfibers enhance shock absorption
  • Highly elastic core ideal for players with arm or shoulder issues
  • Reliable in hybrids or as a full bed string

Wilson NXT is especially popular among club players, doubles specialists, and anyone upgrading from synthetic gut or polyester.

3. Babolat Xcel – Soft, Stable & Spin-Friendly

Babolat Xcel blends comfort with performance, offering a soft string that doesn’t feel mushy or overly elastic. It’s a perfect upgrade for recreational and intermediate players looking for longevity and playability.

  • Newer formula adds durability and resistance to notching
  • Excellent shock absorption for sensitive elbows
  • Pairs well with stiffer racquets for added balance

Compared to natural gut, Xcel offers a smooth and consistent response without the price tag or weather sensitivity.

4. Tecnifibre Multifeel – Affordable Comfort with Reliable Performance

Tecnifibre Multifeel is a budget-friendly multifilament option that still delivers excellent comfort and feel. Built with 985 microfilaments and a single monofilament core, it's designed for recreational and performance players alike.

  • PU construction with Silicium treatment for durability and softness
  • Perfect balance of comfort, control, and crisp feedback
  • Ideal as a full bed or hybrid with polyester for added feel

Multifeel is a great choice for intermediate players looking for a more arm-friendly setup without sacrificing responsiveness or control.

5. Head Velocity MLT – Comfort with Control

Head Velocity MLT offers a great value-for-performance ratio. It’s firmer than others on this list, making it ideal for control-oriented players seeking a soft alternative to poly strings.

  • Multifilament core with low-friction coating for enhanced spin
  • Durable yet comfortable construction
  • Ideal for hybrid setups with polyester mains

Velocity MLT is a favourite for all-around players who want something softer but not too springy.

Why Choose Multifilament Strings?

Multifilaments are built by wrapping hundreds or thousands of microfibers together—replicating the feel of natural gut while providing added durability and weather resistance. They're especially beneficial for:

  • Players with tennis elbow or arm soreness
  • Anyone using a stiff frame or string pattern
  • Beginner to intermediate players seeking power and comfort
  • Older players or juniors transitioning away from poly

They may not offer the durability of polyester strings, but the trade-off in feel, control, and arm protection is often well worth it.
