Gauge Recommendation

16L (1.25mm) for best spin potential.

Overview

Yonex Poly Tour Rev features an octagonal shape for extra bite plus SIF (Silicone-Infused Filament) technology to increase string snapback and spin potential. The stiffest in the Yonex Polytour range - a bit stiffer, crisper and more control-oriented than Poly Tour Pro. "Definitely more control oriented, which is exactly what I need for attacking tennis." Firm but muted, which helps comfort. Above-average tension maintenance in lab testing. A big string for high-performance players - not for beginners. Good for players with arm pain wanting comfort without power loss.

  • ✓ Spin seekers wanting control
