HEAD RIP Control is a multifilament tennis string with a textured ribbon construction designed for players who want comfort, control and feel without the harsher response of a traditional polyester string.
Its construction gives the string a softer, more dampened feel on impact, while the textured surface helps improve ball bite and control. It suits players who want dependable all-round performance, particularly those who value touch, comfort and consistency over outright power.
