Technifibre has the process of multi’s down, now they need their breakout poly imo.

multi with co-poly fiber insinde?...
WeissCannon 6StarString..for a few years already .. i like it a lot! exists in purple, natural and white. underrated, and a great string.

but at tecnifibre HDX, HDMX and element are not already on this concept? with the use of poly fibers organized in multifilament?

TRIAX will be a more firm sibling to HDMX in the Fusion/3D line (HDX Tour is now retired/OOP, btw).
@Tecnifibre Official discusses it in the mainline thread here. (Which carried over as a tangent from the Tecnifibre racquets thread, confusingly.)

I find that HDMX is quite close to 6SS, but, perhaps a little more mushy (HDMX), it has everything in the average. I find, a dynamic bone, a very good control, a feeling on certain phases of play close to or reminiscent of the poy soft, but very comfortable, as its name suggests it is a true hybrid two in one. like the weiss 6ss, but the latter is very dry, and provides a pleasant game. for those who come from poly. (it replaces at home a hybrid mantis synth power / black force).
for me, HDMX and 6SS play in the same category, but where there is a big difference is that 6SS costs half as much as HDMX. and since these strings break instead of being dead, the price of HDMX is not justified.
I had obtained two sets of HDMX in test (my brother gave them to me, he cannot play multi), and I used in parallel with 6SS. I think HDMX was a bit better everywhere, and when 6SS breaks after 5:30, HDMX holds up to 7 hours easily. but at this price, it is unthinkable. a hybrid like Mantis Synth Power / black magic which will play just as well, and which will last 20 hours, the two hybrids will cost even less (mantis € 6, blac magic € 8.5, when HDMX € 17!)
for me, tecnifibre displays its overpriced strings, which directly compete with natural guts. without providing the benefits of natural gut.
When I was 15, I had a box of turbo tecnifibre for Christmas ... I don't know if some people remember it, blue that whitened under the pressure of the pliers. I found this superb string, but at the price or it was, it was not worth the cost compared to many other strings. the fragility and the price of this fragility is interesting only for people who never break; for me that therefore defines a string either for leisure players who never break, or for wealthy players.

Sorry about that. I asked the questions in the Racquet Thread from my iPhone.
@Tecnifibre Official was kind to answer me, and steer me to the right thread. Perhaps Triax will feel more like HDX Tour than HDMX.

HDMX has polyester monofilament while Triax is the first one with co-poly fibers, perhaps?

Is this similar to Duramix? I also have another string I am using called Yonex Multi Sensa that has this mix of poly and arm protection fibers.

My question would be that as the string notches and those fibers are exposed, how does the inter-string friction change? One of the issues I've experienced in previous string testing of non-uniform, multi-material, or coated strings is that when wear occurs at the string intersections, the playing characteristics change significantly as the various materials have different coefficients of friction.

I liked HDMX during the TW Playtest and add a +1 to @Injured Again's post #18 request for information.

Maybe a comparison with a string like luxilon M1 and how fast it breaks compared to regular poly and regular multi?

A comparison between this one and Head Velocity MLT would be nice.

Hi Michelle, I am a recent convert to HDMX and really like it - I am a traditional multi user (x-one biphase at 57 pounds) - I have HDMX strung at 56 pounds in my low RA Blade V7 18x20. My question is: would triax be more aimed at the existing poly user and if so, what tension recommendations (in general) would be for triax strings? i.e. should we consider it more of a poly in relation to tension? many thanks!

Interesting. My only experience with Technifibre is the black Multifeel, which was solid and spinny for a multi. I look forward to trying this string and see if the advertised numbers are somewhat accurate. I doubt it will replace my gut/poly go-to but it’s always worth a shot and testing new strings is usually fun.

Haha, true that my guy.since tecnifibre is concerned in regard to our arm health, it would be nice if they would also release some soft frames for a change

Hi Michelle, another question - intrigued to see that the Triax strings appear to be being released as 1.28mm, 1.33mm and 1.38mm - seem quite a heavy gauge range rather than the thinner trend right now - what's the thinking with regard to gauge? Many thanks!

Take a look at the first post in this thread and you'll see the construction in the pic.

On the official Tecnifibre website I also saw polyamide in the composition such as traditional multi but this one looks very close to co-poly string according to professional players members of the Tecnifibre team (look at the recent videos on Tecnifibre official chanel). All pros compared it to co-poly, not classical multifilaments (polyamide) strings.
It looks much more firmer than traditional multi, much more control oriented and the feel looks like co-poly string with a bit more pop and arm protection.

Classic multis are nylon not polyamide.

Hi Michelle, I'm a long time Duramix user (16g and 15L), definitely multi user (currently trying Velocity) looking for more control and spin but keeping comfort and recently tried the new HDMX which was nice, crispier, with more control and spin but less durable than Duramix which doesn't last long also. I preferred the comfort of Duramix 16g compared to HDMX 16g. This last one is firmer at same tension.
I broke HDMX 16g after less than 10 hours when Duramix 16g or 15L lasts me at least 10 hours.
I would like to know if this new Triax notches such as HDMX and Duramix or other traditional multis and breaks easily or if you end up cutting your string such as monofilament for a non string breaker?
Also how this Triax compare to HDMX or even Duramix (Hybrid 3D Tecnifibre's strings) please?
And who is the target of this string: long time poly user looking for more arm protection with conserving good control and spin or multi user looking for more control, spin and durability?
I am also concerned about the comfort of this string, if it can suit someone who is susceptible to arm issues.
Thanks

If it's any consolation you could only order 2 at most and the amount was very limited to begin with.

Hmm.
"Polyamide" is a generic term for a class of polymers. Nylon is a member this class.

NXT Control is a firmer and more control oriented multi but it doesn't play like a poly. And it doesn't have a lot of spin, same for almost every multis. HDMX has better spin.
IMO NXT Control is a good multi but it's expensive (in Europe, US I don't know) even if it has a good durability for a multi. It notches such as other multifilaments strings.
Triax looks completely different playing like a poly and providing more spin and durability compared to a traditional multifilament. Firmer and more control oriented string according to playtesters.
Wait and see [emoji106]

@TW Staff @Tecnifibre Official one question I have is: typically with poly, you need to cut it after 8-12 hours because it goes "dead", since there is some poly in Triax, does it still need to be cut after a certain amount of time / does it go dead?
