Polyester
- For full swings and spin, with a firmer feel
- Can be harder on the arm
- Often goes dead before it breaks
Multifilament
- Softer, more pocket, easier on the arm
- Breaks sooner than poly for many hitters
- Our first pick for most rec adults and developing juniors
Natural gut
- Best feel and tension hold
- Costs more, and humidity care matters
- Ask us how to care for it
Hybrid
- Usually poly mains with a softer cross
- Spin plus comfort
- Buy two sealed sets and label mains vs crosses
