Polyfibre TCS Rough 200m Reel

POLYFIBRE TCS

Polyfibre TCS (Tin Coated String) is the brand's flagship and one of the most comfortable control polys made. A tin coating gives it a long, soft dwell time and a plush, connected feel that plays gentler than almost any co-polyester. It comes in yellow, with a textured Rough version for spin.

It is the comfort benchmark among control polys — the string to reach for when every other poly feels too stiff, and a longtime favourite among stringers for exactly that reason.

On-Court Performance

The stringbed is soft and connected, with a long pocket that makes it feel closer to a firm multifilament than a control poly.

Control is very good despite the comfort — the ball tracks where you aim, with a moderate trajectory.

Power is low and tension slides at the normal co-poly rate, so it plays best in the first few sessions.

Who Should Use It

• Players who want control-poly precision with real comfort

• Poly users with mild arm sensitivity

• Intermediates trying their first co-polyester

• Hybrid users who want a soft, forgiving poly component

• Stringers who need a comfortable house control string

Who Should Not Use It

• Advanced players who want a firm, low, ultra-precise bed

• Heavy topspin players who need sharp bite (choose TCS Rough)

• Players with serious arm injuries who need a true soft string

• Players who want free depth and power

Hybrid Setups & Performance Adjustments

Power
String low, or pair with a multifilament in the mains, for depth.

Control
A full bed at mid-to-high tension keeps the launch low.

Spin
Choose the Rough version, or pair with a shaped poly, for more bite.

Comfort
Already one of the softer polys — drop 1–2 kg for maximum relief.

Tension Stability
Normal co-poly slide — restring every 15–20 hours.

Durability
Use a thicker gauge if you break it quickly.
