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.

Best for

  • High-performance players confident in their strokes
  • Spin seekers wanting control
  • Players who generate their own power
  • Those wanting muted, comfortable poly feel

Not ideal for

  • Beginners (too underpowered)
  • Players with arm issues (stiffest Yonex poly)
  • Those wanting crisp, direct feedback
  • Power seekers

Pros

  • Outstanding spin from octagonal shape + SIF
  • Excellent control for aggressive tennis
  • Good tension maintenance
  • Muted feel aids comfort despite stiffness
  • Great for attacking baseliners

Cons

  • Stiffest in Yonex poly range - arm concerns
  • Very underpowered for beginners
  • Premium price
  • Muted feel disappoints some
  • Some find it "slippery" feeling
