Yonex Poly Tour Rev
Octagonal co-polyester monofilament with SIF (Silicone-Infused Filament) technology
Performance ratings
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.

- High-performance players confident in their strokes
- Spin seekers wanting control
- Players who generate their own power

Not ideal for

- Those wanting crisp, direct feedback
