Yonex Poly Tour Spin
Pentagonal co-polyester monofilament
Performance ratings
Overview
Yonex Poly Tour Spin features a pentagonal shape for extra bite on every stroke. The most comfortable string in the Yonex Polytour range - soft on the arm while still providing spin and control. "If you're looking for control first and spin second, the Polytour Spin would be ideal." Shots leave the racquet with direct response and heavy spin, though may land shorter - drop tension 3 lbs for more loop and depth. Tension maintenance is excellent (12-16 hours) but some report dramatic drop-off when it dies. Good for defensive players setting up points with spin.
Best for
- Spin seekers wanting comfort
- Players needing help generating RPMs
- Defensive players valuing control + spin
- Those wanting shaped poly without harshness
Not ideal for
- Power seekers
- Players wanting long playability window
- Flat hitters
