The Legendary Crisp Feel That Stands the Test of Time
Some strings become classics because they were first. Others become classics because players simply refuse to stop using them.
Genesis Typhoon belongs to the second category.
Originally developed over 15 years ago, Typhoon was created with one ambitious goal: to reproduce the incredibly crisp, connected response that many competitive players loved in the world's most iconic co-polyester strings. Rather than simply copying a shape or construction, Genesis engineers focused on recreating that unmistakable sensation at ball impact—a clean, precise response that inspires confidence on every swing.
The secret behind Typhoon's unique personality lies in its advanced construction. Manufactured from a premium co-polyester formula, it incorporates aluminum fibers within the string's composition, creating the crisp, lively feedback that has made Typhoon one of the longest-running favorites in the Genesis lineup. Combined with a pentagonal profile and an additional axial twist, Typhoon grips the ball aggressively, producing outstanding spin while maintaining exceptional directional accuracy and feel.
Even by today's standards, Typhoon remains remarkably competitive. Independent testing shows outstanding overall performance, particularly in control, tension maintenance, comfort, and spin generation, proving that great engineering never goes out of style. While many newer strings have entered the market, countless players continue to return to Typhoon because of one characteristic that is difficult to duplicate: its unique crisp response and connected feel.
Typhoon is designed for aggressive baseliners and all-court competitors who enjoy taking full swings while maintaining confidence in every shot. It rewards fast racket-head speed with excellent spin potential, dependable control, lively power, and impressive touch around the net. Unlike many modern stiff polys, Typhoon manages to combine a precise response with a comfortable, predictable feel throughout its life.
The string also benefits from Genesis' specialized manufacturing process, including multiple heating and cooling stages, performance-enhancing additives, and a low-friction coating that helps reduce string movement while maintaining playability and tension over time.
More than a decade after its introduction, Typhoon continues to prove that exceptional performance doesn't have an expiration date. It has earned the loyalty of players around the world who appreciate a string that delivers a rare combination of crisp feel, explosive spin, excellent control, reliable power, and long-lasting playability.
