String King Type 3X features Twistex™ twisted yarn technology designed to give players more accuracy, more control, and more speed. By adding twist to the yarn before they are knit String King brings you a more compact construction and a more rigid backbone for greater consistency in your play. The increased elasticity and texture in the yarn gives the Type 3 a great blend of stretch an feel to augment your control. Type 3 Mesh is 15% thinner than Type 2, and maintains durability and a rigid backbone for the pocket. The 3X Mesh provides 100% more elasticity over the 3S.
