Description
Yonex Poly Tour Spin has become a go-to choice for tennis players who rely on spin to control rallies and push opponents behind the baseline. This 12m string set comes in 1.25mm gauge and Black color – ready for your next restring. If you’ve been searching for a spin-focused polyester string that delivers consistent bite on every shot, this is it.
WHY YONEX POLY TOUR SPIN DOMINATES THE SPIN GAME
Pentagonal String Profile
Unlike round strings that slide across the ball, Yonex Poly Tour Spin features a five-sided pentagonal shape. These edges grip the ball at contact, creating more friction and generating heavier topspin. The shaped profile also helps the string snap back quickly after ball contact, adding extra rotation to your shots.
Giga Spin Technology
Yonex’s proprietary Giga Spin structure maximizes the string’s ability to grab and release the ball. This technology works alongside the pentagonal shape to deliver spin levels that compete with top strings like Babolat RPM Blast and Solinco Hyper-G. Players who brush up on the ball will notice a significant difference in topspin RPM compared to standard round polyesters.
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Spin Potential
This is where Yonex Poly Tour Spin truly shines. The pentagonal profile creates exceptional ball bite, allowing players to generate heavy topspin on groundstrokes and kick serves. Sharp angles and dipping shots become easier to execute consistently.
Control and Feel
As a low-powered polyester string, Poly Tour Spin gives aggressive hitters the control they need. You can swing hard without worrying about balls flying long. The firm response provides direct feedback on every shot, letting you know exactly where the ball is going.
Durability
Made from high-quality polyester monofilament, this Yonex tennis string resists breakage well. Players with fast swing speeds who typically break strings quickly will appreciate the longevity. The string also maintains playable tension longer than many competing polyesters.
WHO SHOULD USE THIS STRING
This polyester tennis string is built for intermediate to advanced players with aggressive swing speeds. If you generate your own power and want a string that maximizes spin while maintaining control, Yonex Poly Tour Spin fits perfectly.
Ideal for:
• Aggressive baseliners who hit with heavy topspin
– Players with fast, full swings
– Anyone looking to add more spin to their game
– Tournament players who need consistent spin performance
Not recommended for:
• Beginners with slower swing speeds
– Players seeking maximum power from their strings
– Those with arm sensitivity
STRINGING RECOMMENDATIONS
For optimal performance with Yonex Poly Tour Spin, we recommend stringing at 48-52 lbs for most players. Going lower (45-48 lbs) adds comfort and dwell time, while higher tensions (52-55 lbs) increase control but reduce playability duration.
This string works well as a full bed setup for pure spin and control. For added comfort and power, consider a hybrid setup with Poly Tour Spin in the mains and a softer multifilament or natural gut in the crosses.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1. What makes Yonex Poly Tour Spin different from round strings?
Ans. Yonex Poly Tour Spin features a pentagonal (five-sided) shape that grips the ball better than round strings. This creates more friction at contact, generating heavier topspin and better ball control.
Q2. Is this string good for beginners?
Ans. This string suits intermediate to advanced players with fast swing speeds. Beginners may find it too firm and low-powered. A multifilament or softer polyester would be better for learning players.
Q3. How long does Yonex Poly Tour Spin last?
Ans. Durability depends on playing frequency and swing style. Most players get 10-20 hours of play before tension drops significantly. The string resists breakage well but should be replaced when it feels dead.
Q4. What tension should I use for this string?
Ans. We recommend 48-52 lbs for most players. String polyesters lower than you would string multifilaments – around 10% lower tension works well for comfort and spin.
Q5. Is 12m enough for one racket?
Ans. Yes, 12 meters is sufficient for one full racket stringing with standard 16×19 or 18×20 string patterns.
Q6. Can I use Yonex Poly Tour Spin in a hybrid setup?
Ans. Absolutely. Yonex Poly Tour Spin works excellently in the mains paired with a softer cross string like natural gut or multifilament for added comfort and power while retaining spin benefits.
Q7. How does this compare to Babolat RPM Blast?
Ans. Both are excellent spin strings. Poly Tour Spin offers similar spin potential with slightly better tension maintenance. RPM Blast may feel slightly softer. Both are used by professional players.
