Yonex Poly Tour Pro Tennis String Yonex Poly Tour Pro is a control-oriented co-polyester string with a distinctive flat-octagonal profile that balances precise directional control with enough spin potential and comfort to suit a wide range of competitive players. Slightly softer in feel than Poly Tour Strike or Poly Tour Fire, it occupies the versatile middle ground of the Poly Tour family — a high-performance string that rewards aggressive, complete play without the uncompromising firmness that limits some control polys to advanced-only use. Flat-Octagonal Profile for Control with Spin Capability — Unlike purely round strings optimized for feel or sharply-edged strings tuned exclusively for spin, Poly Tour Pro's flat-octagonal cross-section provides a hybrid character: the broader flat surfaces deliver consistent, predictable ball contact and excellent directional feedback, while the subtle edges create enough ball bite to support meaningful topspin production on full cuts and kick serves. Slightly Softer Feel Than Firmest Control Polys — Poly Tour Pro is formulated with a compound that sits a meaningful step softer than Poly Tour Strike or Fire, reducing the shock transmission and arm fatigue risk that comes with maximum-stiffness polyesters. Players who need the control of a performance poly but have experienced discomfort from very firm strings will find Poly Tour Pro a more playable, sustainable choice for regular competitive hitting schedules. Excellent for Modern All-Court Baseline Play — The combination of firm directional control, adequate spin capability, and a softer-than-expected feel makes Poly Tour Pro one of Yonex's most versatile polyesters. It suits players who rely on a complete baseline game — flat driving, topspin looping, heavy serves, and slice approaches — rather than specialists who sacrifice everything for maximum spin or maximum pace in isolation. Good Tension Retention and Playability Window — Poly Tour Pro maintains its characteristic tension and feel for a solid number of playing hours, with the flat-octagonal profile retaining its shape and spin-generating edges reasonably well as the string wears. Competitive players hitting 3–5 times per week typically restring every 3–5 weeks to maintain optimal performance, but recreational players hitting once or twice weekly will find the string remains consistent for longer intervals. Widely Used on Tour as a Spin-and-Control Hybrid — Poly Tour Pro has developed a following among tournament players who want the performance credibility and proven formula of a genuine competition-level string without the very specific, demanding feel of the stiffest control polys. Its versatility makes it one of Yonex's most-recommended strings across a broad range of player profiles. Specifications — Available in 17g (1.25mm) and 16g (1.30mm) gauges. Recommended tension 44–56 lbs. Approximately 40 ft (12.2 m) per set. String at lower tensions (44–50 lbs) for maximum spin and comfort; mid-range (50–54 lbs) for balanced all-court performance. Poly Tour Pro is the most frequently recommended Yonex poly for intermediate-to-advanced players who want a single string that handles baseline power, net game feel, and serve control with equal competence — an excellent default choice for players who don't want to compromise in any single area of their game.
