The thin Hyper-G Soft: more pocketing, more snapback and better feel on touch shots, with clearly shorter life, so heavy topspin hitters will notch through it quickly. It feels lively fresh but loses tension faster than the 17; restring on a schedule. Use the 17's tension or go 1 to 2 lb lower. Built for compact, fast swings and players who restring often. If you are breaking it too fast, go to Hyper-G Soft 17.
Best for: Soft bite, more snap. Feel: Soft, lively. Gauge: 18. Look at the gauge on the pack before it goes in the racket.

Where our take comes from
Tennis Warehouse's Hyper-G review, and how the Soft version plays next to it. The thinner gauge wears out sooner.
Also on: Polyester.
Our Diadem pick for a soft co-poly with bite. Best for: spin with feel.
