MultifilamentFrayingWear
Must You Replace a Fraying Multifilament String Immediately?
Exposed fibers can be normal wear, but their depth and location matter.
Player overview
A multifilament can fuzz as its many fibers wear, creating a visible sign that the string is gradually approaching failure.
Measurement guide
- Photograph the frayed area near the center of the string bed and the notching at intersections.
- Consider whether ball response and comfort remain stable and whether an important match is approaching.
- Restring with time to spare if the wear quickly deepens or several fibers break.
Latest measurement
Fraying is not an immediate discard order; it is a wear signal that helps you plan the remaining life.
