Thank you for this video As a stringer and a tennis player and an employee of the industry We need honest reviews from smaller creators who give the honest feedback!

[@TennisASMR]

Love the chill music and atmosphere, I’m a huge PTP fan in tight string beds (anything too open & the tension doesn’t lock (not notch) & Rev in 18x20 has amazing pocketing. Pro has bite/spin, Rev has more feel & less SnapBack

[@AlexTennisChannel]

Great video! I just discovered your channel!! Keep posting🎾

[@Yonex333]

Thanks for your advice!

[@ratedr45]

Rev and PTP are also the two I’ve narrowed down to. I like the strike as well but I’ve had some shoulder issues recently and it’s just not the most injury friendly string. I’ve also dial my tension down from 52 to 48 and both the rev and PTP still feel very good at this tension

[@svlagonda7417]

Drive is a good string when fresh - great blend of spin control and power. Only downer is the tension maintenance but then it's cheap enough to restring every couple of weeks.

[@rucas10]

Thank you so much !

[@juanmanuelromero3316]

Thank you very much. I try poly tour rev and I love the string, super touch, control and excellent for slice, serve and volley. I play on clay, Argentinian polvo ladrillo with humidity and I could generate spin if I focus on it. Best string ever

[@ATELIERDUCORDAGE]

Careful when choosing your string, now the rev comes in that orange colour and that's it as for the Poli tour pro it comes in 4 colours. Now here's the catch, the same string behaves differently depending on the colour, it's all about the pigment used when fabricating the string. You have 4 colours in the poly tour pro the yellow being the softest and the black the stiffest. There is so much of a difference between the yellow and the black that you can basically say that is not the same string. I know an atp ranked player that uses the black poly tour pro because of this reason, I strung his racket myself 😉

[@charlieb3497]

Just strung my vcore pro 100 in poly tour Rev after your review, delighted with it no arm issues whatsoever and played my best tennis this year 👍 Thank you! ps The Vcore Pro is a fantastic stick 🤙

[@BSTennis]

Some ppl say rev is stuff but I think it’s very comfortable, glad to hear! My fav string right now.

[@adamcheung1232]

Awesome technique man

[@jostalking]

Hey thanks so much for making this video. I just switched to the Yonex Zone 100 and used Poly Tour Pro and absolutely loved it. I played a couple sets and was just loving the racket and string, then the 2nd time I played with it, my balls started sailing out. I love the softness of the string so much though, was wondering what you thought about just going higher on tension to compensate for the tension loss? Or I guess I could try Poly Tour Rev as well. Let me know your thoughts

[@armandgallanosa]

Agree.. polytour rev 😊 great video

[@TrueEarth369]

Using PTP now but after 20 years of playing with different strings, I still like natural gut the best.

[@testtestph]

Thanks Man. Try the razor code soft, i think its in you wheel house.

[@rachidbaaira9869]

Great video, do have idea the difference between yonex poly tour pro and solinco hyper g soft?

[@Nessaj87]

You really need to try Head Lynx Tour Orange in 1.25 before you fully switch to PolyTour Rev! Insane tensionmantenance with Lynx Tour. I tried both PolyTour Rev Orange and PTP Yellow, was not amazed by any of the two. I enjoyed the Furi C4 (sadly unavailable / impossible to get for us in EU) and Head Lynx Tour Orange way better. It also looks amazing in orange paired with Ezone/Vcore/PureDrive! Would love to test ReStringZero and get more of Furi C4 here in EU, next on my list is Head Hawk Power/Tecnifibre Razor Soft

[@cdanarch]

I'm in exactly same boat as you. I use the Furi Arma Pro 98 and i string it with Furi c4 17, or head lynx tour 1.25mm orange depending on my mood. Furi c4 gives me such awesome heavy ground strokes and head lynx tour just feels reliable and crispy right off the machine with excellent tension maintenance.

[@PF9O]

I had a terrible time with PolyTour Spin, haven't tried another Yonex string since. Thinking of trying the Pro.

[@thehiddenfamily]

I been using drive because there are reels on eBay for 60-70 and I save a ton of money.

[@carolineh1845]

Spin, Air and Drive are all good strings. Even used on the WTA/ATP Pro tour. Just shows that (1) strings are subjective (2) 3.5 players like yourself have different preferences to stronger players.

[@SilverBloodedOne]

Nice hitting, Wayne! Would you mind doing a video with breaking down your FH/BH?

[@BSTennis]

I will add this to the video list!

[@SilverBloodedOne]

@@BSTennis Thanks, man! Also, any string setups for an EZONE 100 2022? Looking to maximize comfort.

[@BSTennis]

@@SilverBloodedOne if you want to maximize comfort, go with a multifilament. If you want to use a soft polyester, I would absolutely recommend poly tour pro (the yellow). That’s the softest/most comfortable feeling poly I’ve ever used and it’s not even close. The only problem is it doesn’t hold tension well, but that’s a trade off for a softer string.

[@SaberShirou]

Recreational player here, but my experience with the four strings is largely similar to your review. The Strike is far too stiff and harsh. Can't feel the ball. I prefer the Fire to the Pro though, it's more responsive and holds tension better. The Pro becomes a damp squib after a few sessions, and as you said it requires frequent restrings that only makes sense for pros hence the Pro moniker. The Rev offers by far the best feel for the ball, and is still very much playable after considerable tension loss. Stringing it at low to mid 40s really unlocks the liveliness of the string.

[@BSTennis]

Agreed, love pro but I’m not restringing my racket 4 times a week! Rev is a great string, I really really like it. Fire isn’t bad, just not amazing. I could use it.

[@farood5]

@@BSTennispoly tour pro has more pocketing and very playable for weeks

[@arturonava9725]

Do you know how much PTP 1.30 weighs?

[@ethankrafft9386]

did you use polytour rev in 16 or 16L?

[@alejandrogandolfid]

Concuerdo en que la Rev es una buena cuerda, pero tratar de basura a la Spin y a la Drive, que son excelente, me parece un poco desbalanceado...

[@Turbulencemode]

Could anyone help me with racket choice. I’m a pretty flat hitting aggressive player that will try cause problems from baseline before finishing point at the net. I have a powerful serve with a bit of spin, and a pretty flat two handed backhand. I’ve seen a lot of good things about the Ezone 98/100 And the Babolat Pure Drive/Aero. Which would you recommend, or maybe others I haven’t listed. Thanks for the help 😁

[@johnb23433]

sounds a lot like me, I went with the ezone 100 with PTP Yellow strings and its perfect for me

[@alastairtheduke]

ezone for flat strokes , pure aero if you are more of a spin player, pure drive for outright power. ezone and pure drive are similar but i think drive is more powerful. go demo them

[@macbook1999]

What is the gauge for yhe poly tour rev you evaluated?

[@BSTennis]

16L

[@Gamertaaag]

Try Solinco Tour Bite in the Mains and PTP in the crosses. Thank me later 😘

[@djsteep7463]

Very interesting comment. What would be your tension recommendation for that? I’ll happily try that combo out.

[@Gamertaaag]

@@djsteep7463 I actually play them currently at 23/23kgs but depends on the environment you are playing in. When it is super hot I also play 24/23 Additional Info: I am playing a tuned 2022 Ezone98

[@TG-tennis-nature]

Hi, what level are you? Do you go with the 25 or 30mm string?

[@Gamertaaag]

@@TG-tennis-nature Hi I am from Germany so it is hard to tell, but from looking at a rank translation table I would be ranked a low to mid 5.5 in the US. I use 1.25. 1.30 would last longer but the Ezones string bed is relatively tight and the strings last long enough.

[@simonhurtermusiccom]

Hi gamertaag, danke für den Tipp und deinem Setup. Muss meine ptp/tourbite nur noch aufziehen auf einem head extreme Tour. Empfiehlst du nach wie vor 23/23 kg auch bei +-15 grad draussen!? Danke Dir 👌

[@revio000]

Are any of them very muted? Or ones that give a lot of feedback?

[@nakmuay5034]

All japanese strings are too muted

[@bmanbusee3812]

Rev is muted but still provides some feedback in my ezone 100. Air is a good string despite what is said here too. Great spin and control. Tension loss is considerable though

[@yuchen2136]

Do you like PTR better than Hyper G?

[@BSTennis]

Yes

[@bojack3827]

Poly Tour Strike is a pro players string. Used by the winner of the Dallas ATP open. Not for amateurs like yourself.

[@BSTennis]

😂😂😂

[@born_hard9705]

And used by Shelton Strike in mains and Pro in the crosses

[@bojack3827]

Yep, harsh but true. Pro players have so much racquet head speed and just put so much action on the ball compared to amateurs. What works for them, won't work for a amateur 99% of the time. This is why these sort of string 1st-5th place roundups aren't very useful.

[@rouxbix9494]

@@bojack3827 That is exactly why they are useful. I play more like this dude than I do Shelton. Makes sense to listen to him more than a pro that creates racquet head speed that I couldn't create at 22. Shouldn't have been hard to figure out that he was reviewing based on his skills and attributes. He showed you the video.

[@goldencalf5144]

Huh. I thought poly tour spin was pretty good.

[@ommpaloomplak53]

Casper ruud does too

[@ferdinandbautista984]

Too many opinion. Sometimes . I try to follow with same level as myself

[@blakebrothers3984]

Terrible review The spin is an amazing string

[@BSTennis]

Terrible review because we disagree? Got it 😂😂
