Tecnifibre tennis strings compared
Every Tecnifibre string bed on the bench — 14 setups rated across eight axes, including arm friendliness, which is the axis most string charts leave out.
How the range scores
Across these 14 beds the range averages 7.2 for spin and 6.5 for arm friendliness. Its strongest axes are spin (7.2) and power (7.1); its weakest is longevity (6.0). That makes it middling on arm friendliness — neither a comfort range nor a punishing one. 3 of the 14 are named hybrids rather than full beds. Gauges represented: 1.24 · 1.25 · 1.28 · 1.30 · 1.32 mm.

Matching a string to your racket
A string only makes sense in a frame. A stiff polyester in an already stiff, powerful racket is the most common cause of arm trouble in club tennis, and the same string in a flexible control frame can be excellent. The finder scores the pairing rather than the string alone.
