MSV Focus HEX SOFT Black 200m Reel

Msv Focus Hex Soft reel

Msv Focus Hex Soft is a black, hexagonal monofilament. As with the Msv Focus Hex, the Soft uses the same structure to maintain its excellent spin performance. However, it has greater elasticity to provide a greater reserve of power. It's still predominantly controllable, but the softer feel on striking greatly enhances playing comfort and its tolerance to off-center play. All in all, less vibration and more playability for this version.

Our test of the Msv Focus Hex Soft string

Power and control

The Msv Focus Hex Soft string, with its hexagonal structure and firm feel on strike, offers players a good dose of control. We've found that this doesn't come at the expense of power, which is still greater than with the classic version.

Spin

Our first hits showed us that this is a reference that stands out for its above-average ball grip. The hexagonal structure generates a very high spin rate when lift is required.

Comfort and forgiveness

The MSV Focus Hex SOFT string emits less vibration than the Focus Hex version. The string is slightly less rigid, making it softer to hit and therefore more comfortable. This evolution makes it more pleasant to play.

This string isn't the best in terms of forgiveness, as off-center errors are rarely forgiven.

Service life and tension hold

Yields tend to drop over time, but remain acceptable for a semi-rigid monofilament. Durability is within the norm.

Sensation / feel / stiffness

The string is rather stiff, so the feel when you hit it is straightforward and ball touch is not the predominant factor.

Who should use it?

The Msv Focus Hex Soft is ideal for players who prefer structured strings and have found the classic version a little too firm.

What type of playing is the Focus Hex Soft designed for?

Msv Focus Hex Soft is the perfect string for baseline players who like to play with pace. Its extremely versatile performance will delight this type of profile. It will also appeal to those who love to hit and want to preserve their arms.

Where does Msv Focus Hex Soft fit into the Msv range?

Quite simply, it is the most complete monofilament in the range. Excellent in the spin register, it is logically situated between an Msv Focus Hex with more comfort, and an Msv Focus Hex Plus 38 with more control.

Advantages:

• Spin
• Power-control compromise
