All string prices include installation and NYS Sales Tax!
The strings shown on this page are nylons. I have divided them into two groups...center core nylons and coreless multifilaments. Center core nylons have a large central core. Coreless multifilaments are bundles of microfibers (sometimes over 1000) and they don't have a center core.

Center core nylons
| String | Desc | Price |
|---|---|---|
 | Prince Tournament Nylon is a very basic string for the economy minded player. It's a 1.38mm string so durability is better than average. Tension maintenance is not as good as strings that get referred to as "synthetic guts" because they are blends of nylon and polyamide and this is straight nylon 66. | $16.00 |
 | Gearbox Mono Premium is a racquetball string and OEM for Gearbox racquets. I am carrying it in 17 ga black only. | $17.00 |
 | Babolat Synthetic Gut 16 is a general purpose string for the economy minded player. Clear only. | $17.00 |
 | Head Synthetic Gut 16. This new version is somewhat more elastic than the previous version. A basic general purpose nylon composite in White or Black. | $18.00 |
 | Gosen Micro is an inexpensive nylon made in Japan by the same folks who make Prince strings. A quality string with a very basic construction. Available in 16, 17 and 18 ga. Former world #1 Jim Courier played his entire career with a version of Gosen Micro. | $18.00 |
 | Toa Gold. Most folks are unfamilar with the name, but TOA is one of the largest manufacturers of synthetic strings in the world, if not THE largest, and they make strings for many of the name brands that you do know. Toa Gold is a really nice inexpensive synthetic gut. Available in 15L only. | $19.00 |
 | Yonex Dynawire is a relatively soft general purpose nylon built around a center core that's very similar to Prince Lightning. Like Lightning, Dynawire has a metallic foil spiral which gives it a sparkling appearance. Best looking blue string I've ever seen. | $20.00 |
 | Toalson Asterista is a rainbow colored string with a metallic foil spiraling through it that sparkles. | $20.00 |
 | Still the best selling string in the world. Prince Synthetic Gut in my opinion is the stiffest of the synthetic guts and not vastly different from Wilson's, Gamma's or Head's or anybody else's synthetic gut for that matter. Good playability, good durability, good price and in an array of colors. In 16 ga: Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Purple, Silver, Gold, Blue and White. In 17 ga: White only. | $20.00 |
 | Prince Lightning XX 16. Hey! This stuff is pretty! It has shiny spirals in it! Prince calls them Powerfoils and the even better news is they actually work! This string has some real pop! In clear, red, yellow, blue and black. Also available in clear and black in 17 gauge. Highly recommended for racquetball too! | $22.00 |
Coreless multifilaments
| String | Desc | Price |
|---|---|---|
 | Babolat Addixion 16. Not quite as soft as the more expensive Babolat Xcel but still pretty easy on the arm and with a crisper playability. | $25.00 |
 | Tecnifibre RPX . Tecnifibre introduced this at roughly the same time as Triax and the 2 strings are very similar in terms of their compostion (50% polyester, 50% polyamide). RPX is several dollars cheaper than Triax, no doubt due to a difference in processing time. This type of string is intended to provide players with the comfort of a nylon based string and the control and spin of a poly based string. | $26.00 |
 | Prince Premier Power 16 is a coreless multifilament string with plenty of power and excellent comfort. | $29.00 |
 | Babolat Xcel replaces what was previously called Xcel Premium. In this updated version Babolat uses a new bonding agent that is intended to maintain the soft feel of the original while improving durability. One of the softest strings out there, so not a bad choice for sore arms. I am carrying this string in both 16 and 17 gauges. | $30.00 |
 | Triax is Tecnifibre's latest effort to supply the comfort and feel of a premium multifilament with the control of a polyester in one string. If you are currently using a polyester hybrid Tecnifibre is aiming to supply you with this as an alternative. It's a 50/50 mix of polyamide and polyester fibers and available in 16 gauge (1.33mm) | $31.00 |
 | Tecnifibre HDMX is a control oriented coreless multifilament for someone who likes the arm friendliness of that type of construction but usually finds them too lively. They've reduced the liveliness by making 33% of the fibers in the string polyester. | $31.00 |
 | Tecnifibre NRG. French made multifilament. Available in both 16 and 17.gauge. One of the best synthetics out there. If you want performance, definitely worth a try. | $31.00 |
 | Tecnifibre TGV is the softest multifilament string in the Tecnifibre line and an excellent choice for someone with wrist or elbow issues. | $33.00 |
 | Tecnifibre X-One Biphase: I am carrying this in 15L, 16, 17 and 18 ga. If you are looking for performance and comfort this is one of the best playing arm-friendly strings out there. | $33.00 |
 | Head Reflex MLT 16 is a very arm friendly string with plenty of feel and power. One of the nicest multifilaments out there. | $34.00 |
