Like its predecessors (M2 Pro and M2 Plus), Element features Multi-Mono Technology, giving it a slightly more flexible feel than other Luxilon monofilaments. Although this string still works best for players with long, fast strokes, this string has a surprising amount of touch and feel. A great string for those players looking for the spin benefits of a polyester with a slightly softer feel. This is a 16L gauge string and should provide slightly more spin performance than the thicker version (16).
