Overview
Introducing Triax! With its multifilament construction, this string does not skimp on comfort. What separates this very arm-friendly string from the competition is thatit also hashigher levels of control, making it suitable to bigger hitters. Tecnifibre achieves this control partly through an innovative construction that integrates firm polyester filaments with softer polyamide (nylon) filaments. Triax also gives you the benefit a Silicon Pyrogene Lubritec (SPL) coating, a feature that not only helps it snap back for extra spin but also gives it some protection against the frictional wear that leads to breakage.On the court, our team found it to play firmer and crisper than a typical multifilament but it still managed to deliver arm-friendly comfort with impressive pocketing. You'll also appreciate the fact that it does not require constant straightening (like the majority of traditional multifilaments). In addition to being a solid option for the multifilament player who wants more control, spin-potential and durability, Triax will also tempt the big hitting poly player who wants a more tendon-friendly option.

Durability BadStrings broke in hybrid setup on 16x19 racquet in under three hours of recreational hitting at a 4.5 level.
Perfect stringI've tried many string set ups over the years but in my humble opinion Triax gives the best balance between comfort, durability, feel and power while still providing good snap back/spin. If you don't want to use a full bed of poly definitely give Triax a try I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Best hybrid string so farSwitching from multi to poly just did not work for me. It was too much of a change. Worse was the lack of touch and feel in pure poly. But I liked using multi and poly set up on my racquet. To simplify things I moved to “hybrid” type strings (poly being part of the multi). They are easy on the arm, last long and play true. I just tried the Triax and like them even better than the already great Tecnifibre HDMX or Hybrid. The Triax provides more control with equal power. In the long run I save money and time not playing with traditional multi strings and I believe the partial poly has made me strike the ball better. Last, I have never broken a hybrid string while with traditional multi I’d break strings every 20 hours or so.

Disappointing alternative to poly stringsI was excited to try this and had high expectations after reading reviews online. I was considering it as an alternative to polys that still retains spin generation qualities. Strung a Pure Aero at mid-50s. Control: fast swings that would produce nice heavy balls with polys were going long. Same with volleys that would go longer/wider than what I’m used to. Power: it’s there but mostly on flat shots. I might have experienced a bit more power during serve. Spin: definitely not effortless like polys and not as good as tennis reviewers tend to advertise, using the same technique. Comfort: after the first two hitting sessions I experienced a weird shoulder pain that I haven’t had before. My technique was the same. At the third session it didn’t appear again but it left me with a bad taste. Feel: clean and crisp on flat shots. Felt disconnected during topspin shots, wasn’t sure how the ball will perform. Overall I was disappointed, and considering the high price I won’t be buying the Triax again. It might be good for flat hitters or players graduating from synthetic, but even then there are likely better options.

My favorite, spinny multiI often use a full bed of Solinco Confidential and play with softer frames. In my stiffer frames (Pure Drive) or racquets with a smaller sweet spot (Pro Staff) this string helps a lot. It warms up the feel with little sacrifice of spin. I hit a heavier ball and serve with a lot of spin. This is one of my go-to strings and think it plays best as a full bed.

From Gut to MultiAlways used gut. Thought I'd give the multi Triax a try. Yes. Good feel without the issues gut has

Great middle ground between multi and polyDemoed dozens of strings over the last year, and Triax is the one that I've found to be the most comfortable while still providing good snap back/spin AND some durability. While there are other multi's I tried in a full bed, (or hybrid) that played well, I couldn't get more than four to six hours of hitting time before I'd break them. 16 gauge Triax usually gets me 10-12 hours before I break them, remaining consistent and providing good feel and spin the entire time.

Triax 16 gaugeI'm always in search for a string that is easy on my elbow but plays like a poly so I gave this string a shot. Not bad at all, similar to Wilson NXT Control, but the strings don't snap back into place very well.

Great string!This is a great string. It does seem to do what they advertise it is supposed to do. It does play more like a poly but with the comfort of a multi. I used multifilaments for a few years because of arm issues I was having, but the past few months I switched to poly. I liked the performance of the poly, but the tension loss was evident early on, and I was getting tired of trying to keep track of how many hours of play I have been using the poly to know when to restring. I’m a 4.0 Rec player and I don’t really break polys. Triax gives me the tension maintenance and comfort of a multi but also more spin similar to a poly. I love how it plays and I can’t see any negatives other than durability perhaps which was to be expected. I’m breaking the Triax after about 10 to 12 hours of play so I’m gonna switch to the slightly thicker one- the 15L and see how I like that one.
Otherwise, I absolutely love Triax. I like it better than the Head Velocity MLT, which seems to be one of the most popular multis out there. Triax performs better than velocity MLT.

Controlled MultiGood option to try for someone looking for a controlled multifilament. Comfort is pretty good. Only thing I found lacking was spin, you can still shape the ball some, but don’t expect this string to help with that.

Great performance stringThis string is great on its own or in a hybrid. I use it in the mains with Luxilon ALU Power Rough (17/1.25) crosses at 53/50 pounds and there are no durability concerns. For reference, I am using the Wilson Blade V8 98 16x19. I also strung the Triax 17/1.28 in my sister’s oversized racket and she couldn’t be happier with the usability there.
Best String I've Ever UsedTriax has the perfect balance of what I need out of a string. I no longer need to worry about durability as I'm a flat ball-striker and only play once or twice a week (5.0 level) with a lot of net play involved. I get great arm comfort while the string still gives me control and spin potential. The one thing I had to do was go up a little in tension from my normal poly. Holds tension great!
A solid stringMy serve returns improved greatly with this string. It is not a dead string, so it gives you a little juice to get the ball over the net with the pesky low-slow shots. Very comfortable feeling. Was moving from Prince Premier Control in order to improve my depth control. In two sessions I can report it has succeeded.
DisappointedI was really looking forward to trying this string as an alternative to poly, but while playing ok this string is terrible for durability. I strung it is a main with a smooth poly cross and both string jobs broke in 40 minutes or less. Strung another set, full bed and broke in 30 minutes. If you are a string breaker stay far away.
Great multifilamentI’ve played a lot of multi’s but this new one from Tecnifibre is one of the best. I use a Pure Aero plus at 55# and these strings have very little string movement, great ball pocketing and feel. Stiffer than XOne Biphase, NRG2 and NXT (I played with all of these for over 40yrs). Better durability than the others too. Although it will fray if you’re a big hitter, it still takes a beating. I’m a 3.75-4.0 all court player but only play twice a week so durability isn’t an issue for me. I play both 16g and 17g. Only complaint would be its price. Wait til it goes on sale for about $14.65 which is better than the full price $22.
Give it a try.
Good low powered multiI was hoping to get a poly substitute, but this isn't even close. This really plays like a lower powered multi with much less spin than most polys. I tried it as a main with poly crosses, and it lasted 90 minutes both times in an 18X20 pattern, so I wouldn't suggest doing that to anyone else. A similar substitute for this string is the Gosen AK Pro CX, which costs half as much.
Yes, but.So, all that you are reading is true. Great control, medium power and "somewhat" comfortable. Spin is ok, without being earth-shattering. So basically one gets a bit of everything, almost a good starting point. Where I am very unhappy though, the strings begin fraying after a couple of sets. After a couple of matches, I'm not exaggerating, it's all fraying apart. I have 16 and 17 gauge at 51 lbs. Very expensive.

Comments: I have been using Wilson NXT Control and liked the string for numerous reasons. I skeptically tried this string at the suggestion of a friend. Much more spin than the NXT Control. Power is ever so slightly less than the NXT, which is a good thing for me as I was over hitting. The string movement and tension loss are significantly less than the NXT Control. Bottom line? This arm-friendly string in my opinion is a better choice than the NXT Control.

Comments: Great set of string for those who are thinking about transitioning from polyester due to arm or elbow issues. Compared to polyester, it's super soft, but not too lively. It definitely requires some adjustment time, as my forehand was going long and launching too high in the beginning. I typically use a full bed of Hyper-G, but due to elbow issues, I'm transitioning to a full bed of multifilament. I strung my first set at 53 pounds on my 2020 Yonex 98+. Next time, I'll put it at 55 pounds for bit more control. Overall, I would recommend these strings for power, comfort, control, and durability.

Comments: Luxilon ALU Power 16 in the mains at 46 pounds, Triax 16 in the crosses at 49 pounds. According to my 15 year old tournament player son, by far the best setup he tried. However, the strings broke in six hours.

Comments: My 10 year old girl broken in 10 hours. Tension at 50 pounds.
From: Alinova, 12/30/20
Comments: I loved this string. I used this string in my Head Graphene 360+ Speed Pro 18x20 as the main string and a co-polyester string at the crosses. I strung it with a tension of 57 pounds on the mains and 53 pounds on the crosses. What I really liked about this string is the durability, comfort, and it is an arm-friendly string, and the livelier feel that can generate ball pocketing is what I loved most in my serve and groundstrokes. Hands down, this string is a game changer once you've used it, you'll loved it!

Comments: An excellent string. I have developed a shoulder injury, so I wanted to have something that is safe and yet gives me a desired performance with Blade v7. The Blade needs a bit more free power, it is a tad stiff for shoulder and arm injuries, but it is also comfortable and precise. I did not want to sacrifice the precision and the feel of Blade, but I wanted a touch more power, spin, and comfort. That is exactly what Triax gives. It is an elastic, yet firm string. It offers good spin, good control, excellent control, and controllable power. I used to use Hyper-G 16L, and still love it, but for my circumstances I am moving to Triax across all of my frames.

Comments: Strung a full bed in a Pro Staff Six.One Classic 95 16x18 at 57 pounds. It lasted approximately six hours before it broke. It began to fray just like X-One Biphase or NRG2 if you hit with moderate to heavy topspin. I also used Triax 16 gauge in the mains and Luxilon ALU Power in the crosses at 57 pounds and 55 pounds respectively, and this has lasted 6 hours so far without much fraying. The feel of this string is definitely stiffer than X-One Biphase, NRG2, or Wilson NXT Comfort, but plays very comfortably. In the full bed I noticed that it became more elastic feeling at about four hours of play, but still kept its playability until it broke.

Comments: This string is a game changer! Polyester player my whole life and I am seriously considering making this my go-to string. Wow!
