Technology and Composition: The Evolution of the Armour Blend
Armour Soft is an evolution of the renowned Armour blend, with a greater share of Soft polyester that gives it superior resilience and a natural inclination towards power and spin. This formulation removes the harsh impacts typical of traditional polyesters, offering a soft, enveloping playing sensation without giving up competition responsiveness.
The manufacturing processes
Pre-Stretch
Thanks to the "pre-stretch" of the core, the entire string minimises tension loss while at the same time allowing a lower stringing tension.
Double Heating
The "heat treatments" remove internal stresses and even out any irregularities in the string. They also make the strings more flexible and elastic.
Liquid Wax
The string is finished with a layer of wax. This treatment significantly extends its lifespan by reducing wear and making stringing easier.
Low Friction
Reducing the string's friction delivers: reduced string movement, greater spin potential thanks to improved snap-back, and a longer lifespan.
Competition Performance with the Pleasure of Impact
On court, Armour Soft removes the harsh, dry impacts typical of competition polyesters, leaving only the pleasure of contact with the ball. Responsiveness is high, with natural, fluid power and spin generation. It feels like a consistent, reliable string that keeps its characteristics session after session.
Soft, Enveloping Impact
Armour Soft removes harsh impacts, offering comfort (8/10) with Arm Friendly® certification. The greater share of Soft polyester dramatically reduces harmful vibrations transmitted to the arm.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about String Project Armour Soft
What is String Project Armour Soft?
String Project Armour Soft is a competition monofilament tennis string, an evolution of the Armour blend with a greater share of Soft polyester. It offers spin (9/10), control (8.5/10), power (8/10) and Arm Friendly® comfort (8/10), with top-of-the-range tension maintenance (9/10) and resilience (9/10).
What is the difference between Armour and Armour Soft?
Armour Soft has a greater share of Soft polyester than the classic Armour, giving it superior resilience (9/10 vs 8/10), better tension maintenance (9/10 vs 8.5/10) and greater power (8/10 vs 7.5/10). Armour Soft removes the harsh impacts typical of Armour, offering a softer, more enveloping feel.
At what tension should String Project Armour Soft be strung?
The recommended tension range is between 18 and 22 kg. Armour Soft maintains its properties excellently even at lower tensions, thanks to its 9/10 tension maintenance.
Which gauges is String Project Armour Soft available in?
Armour Soft is available in four gauges: 1.20 mm (17) for maximum spin and sensitivity, 1.24 mm (16L) for great balance, 1.29 mm (16) for control and durability, and 1.33 mm (15L) for maximum durability and consistency.
Is String Project Armour Soft suitable for players with arm problems?
Yes, Armour Soft is Arm Friendly® certified with 8/10 comfort. The greater share of Soft polyester dramatically reduces harmful vibrations transmitted to the arm, protecting against discomfort and potential injuries.
How long does String Project Armour Soft last?
Armour Soft has 9/10 tension maintenance and 9/10 resilience, at the top of the String Project range. This means it keeps its playing characteristics consistent for longer than most polyesters.
