The Yonex POLYTOUR PRO in Blue is a world-class co-polyester monofilament that has gained a massive following on the professional tour (used by stars like Nick Kyrgios and Belinda Bencic). While it shares the same core DNA as the iconic Flash Yellow version, the Blue variant is often chosen by players looking for a specific blend of "slick" performance and a more controlled, muted feel.
Performance Profile
- Controlled Power: It is a low-powered string designed for big hitters. It allows you to swing at 100% capacity with the confidence that the ball will stay in the court, providing a "dead" but predictable response.
- Enhanced Snapback: Many players find the Blue version to be the "slickest" in the PolyTour Pro lineup. This lower surface friction allows the strings to slide and snap back more effectively, helping to generate heavy topspin despite its round profile.
- "Plush" Comfort: It remains one of the most arm-friendly polyesters available. It features a dampened, soft feel that absorbs harsh vibrations better than traditional "stiff" polys.
- Muted Feel: Compared to the lively Flash Yellow, the Blue version is often described as feeling slightly more "solid" and "muted." It provides excellent pocketing (the sensation of the ball sinking into the stringbed).
- Tension Stability: Like all strings in the Pro series, it is manufactured under a controlled temperature process to ensure it holds its playability and tension longer than standard co-polys.
Best Suited For
- Aggressive Baseliners: Players with fast swing speeds who need the stringbed to act as a "governor" for their power.
- Players Seeking Comfort: Anyone who wants the control and spin of a polyester but has a history of arm sensitivity or simply prefers a softer impact.
- Hybrid Setups: Because it is exceptionally slick, it makes an outstanding cross-string when paired with a shaped poly or natural gut, as it allows the main strings to move freely.
- EZONE & VCORE Pro Users: The deep Blue color is a perfect aesthetic match for many modern Yonex frames, offering a cohesive and professional look.
