Axon Multi 16L

Nylon/Polyolefin Gauge 16L 1.29 mm In production

Lab measurements for IsoSpeed Axon Multi 16L, ranked against all 789 strings in the database. Every figure below is a testing-machine result at a fixed reference tension, not a playtest opinion.

Measured values

Stiffness

126lb/in

lower = softer, kinder on the arm

Tension loss

29%

lower = stays where you strung it

Energy return

91%

higher = livelier, more free power

Spin potential

3.0

higher = more spin off the string bed

Ball bite

0.432COF

higher = grabs the ball harder

Snapback

0.146COF

lower = strings slide and snap back

How it ranks against all 789 strings

Stiffness 126 lb/in · 3rd pct

Stiffer than 3% of strings tested — exceptionally soft and forgiving.

Tension loss 29 % · 46th pct

Sheds more tension than 46% of strings tested.

Energy return 91 % · 68th pct

Livelier than 68% of strings tested.

Spin potential 3.0 · 9th pct

More spin potential than 9% of strings tested — minimal spin generation.

Ball bite 0.432 COF · 46th pct

Grips the ball harder than 46% of strings tested.

Snapback 0.146 COF · 92nd pct

More string-on-string friction than 92% of strings tested — notches badly and stays put.

More from IsoSpeed

What these numbers mean

Stiffness · lb/in

How much the string bed resists deflection. Higher plays firmer and more controlled; lower plays softer and easier on the arm.

Tension loss · %

Share of the reference tension the string sheds under a fixed test protocol. Lower means the bed stays where you strung it for longer.

Energy return · %

Share of impact energy handed back to the ball. Higher plays livelier and more powerful.

Spin potential

Ball friction divided by string-on-string friction. Higher means better bite with a cleaner snapback, so more spin.

Ball bite · COF

String-on-ball friction. Higher grabs the ball harder through the brush.

Snapback · COF

String-on-string friction. Lower lets the mains slide and snap back into place after impact.
