Yonex Poly Tour Strike

This string is ideal for aggressive baseliners who prioritize control and durability over raw power. Its firm feel allows players to take big swings at the ball with confidence, knowing the string will hold up to heavy topspin.

The Poly Tour Strike features a medium stiffness level. It offers a crisp, responsive feel that isn't overly harsh, making it a great middle-ground choice if you want the precision of a polyester string without excessive rigidity.

Yes, it works very well in hybrid configurations. Because of its durable, firm nature, many players pair it with a softer multifilament string in the crosses to add comfort and power while maintaining control in the mains.

The 17 gauge (1.20mm) offers the most feel and spin potential but will break faster. The 16 gauge (1.30mm) provides maximum durability and tension maintenance, while the 16L (1.25mm) serves as a balanced compromise between the two.

The Poly Tour Strike is designed with medium tension retention. While all polyester strings lose tension over time, this string is engineered to maintain its playing characteristics consistently throughout its lifespan, preventing that 'dead' feeling too early.
