Overview
Introducing REXIS SPEED! Although designed by Yonex to be the firmest member of the Rexis family, our lab results place it at the soft end of the spectrum. Made from an army of nylon and polyester filaments, REXIS SPEED offers a comfortable and dampened feel at impact, with excellent pocketing and above average control for a soft string. In addition to giving you an arm-friendly hitting experience, this string retains its comfort, feel and touch when strung tighter for control. It will also add a little extra comfort, feel and power to any hybrid.

Worth every centI have been playing this string for a little over a year and find it to be perfect for me. It, unlike a bunch of other multis I've tried, has great control and staying power. It plays great for an extended period. The mains stay in place longer than other multis. It has excellent characteristics, as mentioned control, power, and sublime comfort. Even when notched half way through it delivers on all fronts. I am through my third reel and still loving it. I could not recommend it more.
Very Comfortable and (too) Powerful?I strung the Yonex Rexis Speed 16 (1.25) at 67 pounds in my Dunlop CX 200 Tour (16x19) and have been hitting for over 10 hours with it. TW University gives these strings the following specs:
Stiffness (lb/in): 126 (i.e. very soft feeling on impact)
Tension Loss (%): 29 percent (i.e. tension loss after first few hits)
Energy Return (%): 92 percent
Spin Potential: 5.6
After 10 hours, it remains still a very "soft" feeling on impact - even when not in the sweet spot. For my tennis elbow, this was very nice. The power with these strings is truly MASSIVE. Initially, at 67 pounds, it was fine and very controllable. However, after the strings settled in a bit (see the 29% drop in tension after the first few hits), you really have to make sure you're using spin to keep the ball from sailing long. I do have a more loopy string so this tension drop really forced me to develop a more compact swing - not always a bad thing to have happen to you.
If you're a BIG hitter, you probably don't need these unless you have developed a sensitive wrist or elbow. I still have another set of these so I'll have to string this even tighter next time!

Yonex Rexis Speed 16LIf you have tennis elbow this string is a good choice. Nice and soft but I still got a good amount of spin. The string is pretty lively so for big hitters it may have too much power.
