Multifilament Synthetic. HEAD's Rip Control is as close as you can get to natural gut with a synthetic string. A unique ribbon construction is woven around a Multifilament Polyamid fiber core with a textured surface for increased spin potential.

HEAD Rip Control is a great middle ground between a stiff, durability string and a soft, playability string. If you need the best of both worlds, Rip Control provides a decent blend of durability and playability at a very affordable price. As a bonus, it comes in multiple colors and has a unique, braided look.

  • Multifilament Polyamid Fiber core provides a high resistance to movement and durability.
  • Unique Twisted Polyolefine Ribbon outer wrap provides an extraordinary feel and soft touch with increased spin potential and control.
  • Overall this string provides precision, control and maximum playability with great topspin and extra durability.

        Comments about HEAD RIP Control 17:

        I string my own raquets, otherwise I would use the 16 gauge version of Head Rip Control. The 16 gauge holds tension and lasts ten times longer, but does not have quite the snap or feel of the 17 gauge version. As advertised, this is as close to gut as a synthetic string gets. Good power with excellent placement and precision, its my #1 favorite string.

            this string has excellent feel, touch, control and power. would be perfect if it lasted a little longer. The 16 gauge version lasts 5 times longer than the 17 gauge, but you give up some snap and touch with the heavier gauge. Both hold tension very well. Best string I have ever used.
