www.ersa-stringers.com STRING TEST MSV CO-FOCUS 127 - STRING TEST  The MSV CO-FOCUS is a classic monofilament from the German brand MSV, well known around the world for their monofilaments and multifilaments. This month we tested the 1.27mm gauge, the most competition oriented version of this group of strings. The CO-FOCUS, available in 1.18 - 1.23 - 1.27mm gauges is a round co-polyester monofilament with a smooth and slick finish with a strong disposition to competition; but let's see in detail what are the main features of this string. The static stiffness, measurement of the elongation and rigidity of the string describe a medium-tough string with a constant and regular response throughout the tension range. You can string at the preferred tension range with no surprises varying the tension and obtaining a linear response from the material. The 0.90- 0.95kg/mm value is not an extremely high value and the string tests as a stiff string but not an extremely stiff string good for players with good technique and medium-fast to fast strokes. 23 ERSA PRO STRINGER // ISSUE 5-2019
