Yonex POLYTOUR PRO 16L Blue Tennis String Reel

The Yonex POLYTOUR PRO in Blue is a world-class co-polyester monofilament, widely regarded as one of the most balanced strings in tennis. It is celebrated for its "plush" feel, offering a softer and more dampened response than traditional, stiff polyesters. The 1.25mm (16L) gauge is the most popular choice for competitive players, providing the ideal blend of durability, spin potential, and feel.

Performance Profile

1. Arm-Friendly Comfort: PolyTour Pro is engineered with a unique manufacturing process that reduces the "harshness" typically associated with polyester. It effectively absorbs high-frequency vibrations, making it much more comfortable for the arm during long sessions.
2. Dynamic Power & Control: It offers a slightly more "lively" response than ultra-stiff tour strings. This helps players generate depth more easily while still providing the low-powered, controlled characteristic that allows for aggressive, full swings.
3. Consistent Snapback: The round profile and smooth surface are optimized for string-to-string movement. This ensures excellent "snapback," which translates into the heavy topspin needed to keep powerful shots inside the lines.
4. Predictable Launch Angle: Because it is a round string, the ball exit is extremely consistent and uniform. This predictability is vital for players who rely on precision, timing, and "feel" to dictate points.
5. Balanced Durability (16L): The 1.25mm diameter is considered the "gold standard" gauge. It offers enough thickness to resist premature breakage while remaining thin enough to provide a high degree of playability and "ball bite."

Best Suited For

1. Competitive Tournament Players: Those who need a dependable, high-performance string that remains consistent across various weather conditions and court surfaces.
2. Intermediate to Advanced Baseliners: Players with fast racquet head speeds who want a "plush" sensation without sacrificing the control needed for a heavy ball.
3. Hybrid Enthusiasts: A fantastic choice for a full bed or as the main string in a hybrid setup. When paired with a multifilament cross, it creates an incredibly soft yet spin-friendly stringbed.
4. Aesthetic Coordination: The Blue colorway is a signature match for the Yonex EZONE series, providing a clean and professional appearance.

Why Choose the 200m Reel?

The 200m reel is the most cost-effective way to ensure your racquet performance never dips. Since all polyester strings eventually lose their elasticity (tension drop), having a reel allows you to restring frequently—ensuring that your setup always maintains its signature "snapback" and controlled feel at a fraction of the price of individual sets.
