Head RIP Control 16 is a multifilament tennis string designed for players who want a comfortable hitting experience without excessive power. Its distinctive ribbon-based construction combines multifilament fibers with textured outer layers to deliver controlled ball response, useful spin potential, and a muted feel at impact. Unlike many lively multifilaments, RIP Control emphasizes precision and predictability, making it a practical option for players who want to swing confidently while retaining the comfort of a non-polyester string.
Intermediate to advanced recreational players seeking comfort and control without the stiffness of polyester. Particularly suitable for players who find traditional multifilaments too powerful or want a controlled string bed with good ball feel.
