Overview
Tecnifibre Multifeel gets a sleek black makeover! Like the original version, this string has a monofilament core surrounded by bundles of arm-friendly filaments. The result is a string that is easy on your arm while also delivering impressive control. Our playtesters found it to play with slightly more precision and predictability than the original Multifeel. We also found the feel to be more crisp. In addition to providing comfort seekers with more control, this string's abrasion resistant coating gives it an impressive level of durability for a soft string.
Try this 16 gauge option for slightly more control and durability than the 17 gauge version.
- Gauge: 16/1.30mm
- Length: 40ft/12.2m
- Composition: Solid Core (985 Composite multifilaments (60% of the total volume of the string) surround one Central Monofilament (20%) and string is immersed in Polyurethane (20%). Features an Anti-Abrasion Coating of Silicone Pyrogene Lubritec)
- Color: Black

Great valueBest multifilament for the price! Compared to other multi strings it plays firmer bc of the solid core and that makes it more controllable, yet there is still a good pop and good feedback. Try it for yourself you won’t regret it! I sting mine at 55 on Tecnifibre TF40 (16x19)
MultifeelComfortable strings, less springy than other multis I’ve tried. 52lbs in a black ace pro. About 10 hours of play so far and strings are still in place. Would recommend.
Great all-around string … Great price!Multi-feel is a string that does everything well … good feel … good pop … good spin … good playability … good durability. It is not "the best" in any single measure; however, it is a very good and adaptable string. Also, it has excellent snap back for a multfilament. I get a solid 15 - 18 hours of combined singles and doubles play before the string starts to notch and "stick." I am a competitive 65+ player with a one hand BH (slice / flat), flat / top spin FH, and slice / kick serve. Strung at 45 (mains) / 42 (crosses) in colder temperatures and 48 (mains) / 45 (crosses) in warmer temperatures. All numbers represent pounds of tension.

Predictable ResponseI was looking to see if there was anything better then Prince Premier Control in a very low powered multifilament. From the written description they sound similar. Both are excellent in this category. I would say its a draw between the two. Multifeel is somewhat more predictable with groundstrokes. PPC has more feel and feedback, and is easier to generate topspin. Multifeel is quite dead. Both are great on serves and volleys. The PPC has slightly more power. I was going for low power, and this string delivers on that. The PPC was excellent with tension maintenance. It's too early for me to tell with Multifeel. For a low powered string you won't go wrong with either.

Multifeel is SOLIDMultifeel is a great multifilament string to use in fullbed. It holds tension incredibly well, spin potential is entirely sufficient, the strings always settle back in place providing a consistent string bed without having to adjust the strings between points, and it is durable for a multifilament. It is slightly lower power than NRG2 or NXT, so it is excellent in stiffer/power frames. I have used it in everything from the Pure Aero Rafa 290 to a CX 200 OS with excellent results. It punches above its price point.

tecnifibre multifeel 16/1.30 string natural sBy far the best string I have used for pace and control. The natural color is better than the black which feels too powerful thus less control. I only play doubles so control is very important.
Hit the Holy Grail-Highly recommendedI am recommending this string for the following features:
-Good ball pocketing and ability to keep the ball in court with decent spin (Control).
-Easy with arms
- Relative tension maintenance for longer time
I consider myself a 3.0-3.5 intermediate recreational player with compact fast swings.
Racquets:
Wilson (k) endure | Dulop Biomemtic, both with 16*20, 55-58lbs, HH5pts| Balanced, 300+gms
These racquets are stiff and offer lot of head swing. So, I needed a sting that focusses more on control aspect.
I had 2 main issues ball often sails out of baseline/Service box and tennis elbow with incorrect swing pattern (Short fast swing). hence, I ended up moving from Semi Western to slower drive shots with Eastern Forehand and hitting ball on top for topspin's which resulted in easy picking topspin shots.
At Sports Chek -Brampton Canada they give a florescent green poly string as base string (5$ I think). I cheaped out and ended up suffering with Tennis elbow and all my shots broke down and need to be adjusted.
After some iterations with poly/multis I settled with TFMF16 for Excellent control and good enough spin at economical price range ($11-13).
This gentleman (Ludwig) in Brampton- Canada (http://www.vipracquets.com/) recommended these strings and helped me get my racquets strung and I never looked back.
After all these days, now when I hit a topspin with SW grip without compromising swing speed and yet to see the ball curve inside service box for serve / inside baseline for groundstrokes is just amazing.
Over I think I hit the Holy grail and I am one Happy camper with these strings.
Note: As with any MF's these strings will fray and eventually break (for me they last 3-4 months with 3 times a week play). But I feel it is better durability then Wilson Sensation Control and Head rip control at the same price range)
Sharing experience for someone who is on the same boat.

Instant FrayThis wore through the soft polyurethane layer within maybe three or four sets of usage, then started showing fibers at the intersection points. By 15 hours of usage the bed was completely locked up with major fraying at all central intersections. On the other hand, it was very comfortable and decent power, but essentially no durability and I wouldn't trust it not to break on a hard shot after a few days of usage.
DisappointingI’m a 4.0 level player with past state high school and college level experience. Getting back into tournaments at my age level. I play 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 level players at my local club and this string didn’t last three matches before begging to fray. I cut it out after a week in my racket. I string my rackets at 57 lbs for the mains and 54 lbs for the crosses as my racket has a 115 size head. These strings play great soft impact on contacting the ball and great pocketing, good feel with touch shots, angles, drop-shots and spins. Excellent power when you want it. After just a few games hitting with this string I loved it but they simply do NOT last and not worth the time to string them in your racquet.
Favorite MltifilamentStrung @ 54 lbs in Pro Tour 2.0. Had a great blend of power, spin and control. No strings movement and lasted about a month. Held tension well. Way better for touch shots than any poly without losing too much spin at least for my relatively flat strokes.
love it!Awesome!

Comments: 3.5 self-ranked. I put this into my Babolat Pure Drive at 55lbs and after 3 hours of play, noticed severe fraying already. Definitely not that durable and it did take some time to jive with. Might be good for players that don't have a heavy swing or topspin. Felt good to play with, a little mushy, but not bad. Going back to poly's while I still have some youth left in me!

Comments: I string this one on my customized Head Microgel Radical MP at 53 pounds on the mains and 51 pounds on the crosses as part of my three multifilament experiment. It has low power compare to other multifilaments. I think high 40s could be better on this. It's quite soft. I can say that this is a controlled multifilament rather than power. The feel is average. The spin potential is far better compare to Volkl Power Fiber Pro and Head Velocity MLT. It doesn't move too much compare to most multifilament strings. It feels soft on the arm as well as some multifilaments do. It lasts eight hours to me before it breaks. For sure I will purchase this again.

Comments: I have two, go-to strings, strings that in my experience play predictably no matter what frame I put them in and thus represent tremendous value based on their cost. One is Volkl Cyclone, the other is Tecnifibre Multifeel. Multifeel feels amazing as a full bed, or softens up any stiff poly as a hybrid. I typically install it as a full bed at the top of the tension range in my 16x19 frames, or 3 pounds below the top of the tension range in my 18x20 frames. Even at these high tensions, the string plays comfortable, supplies controllable power, and after a break-in period it maintains tension pretty well. This strings feels great in stiff frames, and spectacular in softer frames. It provides great ball pocketing, great touch at the net, and surprisingly good spin potential for a non-poly string for those of you who camp out at the baseline. It also doesn't move around a lot at high tensions. I prefer the playability of the natural version over the black version, but for those of you who prefer a crisper feel, the black version is probably what you try. I'm a pure heavy spin hitter. Think, Thiem off the forehand and Shapo on the backhand. Those of you who hit a similar style should note that Multifeel will fray after a couple of hours of heavy hitting, if used in a 16x19 or 16x18 frame. For those of you who string at a lower tension, the fraying might start even sooner. However, unlike some multi's, Multifeel will not break just because it starts to fray. In fact, it lasts quite awhile longer than you would normally expect a frayed string to last. I also note that the fraying doesn't really affect string performance either. However, because of this fraying behavior, I tend to install Multifeel as a full bed in my match frames, and place a poly with Multifeel as the cross in my practice and training session frames just to maximize the strings performance. I'll acknowledge that there are higher priced multifilaments out there and I have used them from time to time, but for its cost, Multifeel is a tremendous value that plays consistently well in a whole variety of frames and should play nicely for all-court style players as a full bed or as a hybrid. In fact, don't be afraid to install it as the main with a slippery poly as the cross.

Comments: Used Multifeel 16 gauge in a Gravity Pro at 51 pounds, held up for about 8 hours of play. Good playability, power, and spin. Very comfortable on the arm and pretty good feel as well, not too muted. Had to give up polyester strings due to severe tennis elbow so I was surprised at the power and spin I got out of this string based on what I'm normally used to. It will start fraying, but didn't break. I cut it out after 8 hours because I felt the tension was too low at that point and I was starting get some flyers as the spin and snap back of the string kind of fell off at the end. I'm pretty sure I would've broken them the next time out anyway.

Comments: I'm a 24 year old, former NSTA Australia Division 1 player with a flat serve and volley playstyle. I am not a stringbreaker. Based on durability I picked these strings in pink over the natural color for my Wilson KFactor and BLX Prostaff 90. Prior to this string, I mostly played with monofilaments like Luxilon ALU Power and Tecnifibre Red Code. Recently, with issues accessing power and arm issues I've been experimenting with multifilaments such as Tecnifibre NRG2 and X-One Biphase. I find that while the comfort and access to power is far superior with these multifilaments, ball pocketing, control, and access to spin suffer greatly. Inspired by the reputation of Multifeel, I set out to see if this better balanced string. For me, the Multifeel 16 pink really balances the benefits of multifilaments and monofilaments while being cheaper than multifilaments like NRG2 or Biphase. Multifeel is a very crisp string with excellent snapback. While I tend to hit a short flat ball, I appreciate the slick pink coating of the string because it does provide me with better access to occasional spin on volleys than the natural colored NRG2 and Biphase I've tried. String movement is much lower than NRG2, as ball fluff accumulates much slower on Multifeel. However, the strings move more than ALU Power or Red Code. After about 15 or more sets, I do notice a bit of fraying, but to reach this point for NRG2 for me takes about 10 sets or more. Initially I noticed that Multifeel provides a lot of pop for the first two sets
