Overview

Gosen G-Tour 3 is a co-poly made from a high-purity polymer with a silicone oil coating for snapback and longevity. Tennis Warehouse calls it one of the more comfortable co-polys on the market, slightly softer than G-Tour 1 while still giving excellent control. The low-powered response lets players swing hard for pace and spin, and reviewers praise its comfort, spin and durability.

Best for

  • Juniors with fast swings who want control
  • Players moving up to a comfortable poly
  • Spin-oriented baseliners

Not ideal for

  • Players who need free power
  • Young beginners
  • Juniors with arm pain

Cons

  • Low power
  • No reel at Tennis Warehouse
  • Still too stiff for young or sore arms

Stringer notes

Coated co-poly. Smooth to string.

Break-in period

Short.

Every 10-15 hours of play.

Hybrid setup ideas

  • G-Tour 3 mains with a synthetic gut cross
