Yonex POLYTOUR PRO 16G Blue Tennis String Reel

The Yonex POLYTOUR PRO in Blue is one of the most popular and versatile co-polyester strings on the professional tour and at the club level. Known for its remarkable balance of comfort and control, it provides a "plush" feel that is rare for a monofilament string. The 1.30mm (16G) gauge is the most durable version, offering a rock-solid, stable hitting surface.

Performance Profile

1. "Plush" Co-Poly Feel: PolyTour Pro is world-renowned for being one of the most comfortable polyesters on the market. It is specifically designed to be less stiff than traditional polyesters, offering a dampened sensation that absorbs harsh vibrations.
2. Controlled Power: It strikes a perfect middle ground—providing enough "pop" to help with depth while maintaining the low-powered, predictable response that allows big hitters to swing with 100% confidence.
3. Excellent Snapback: The string features a very smooth surface and consistent round profile, facilitating efficient string-to-string movement. This results in reliable "snapback" for generating heavy topspin and a "heavy" ball.
4. Total Predictability: Because of its round shape, the launch angle is incredibly consistent. Unlike shaped strings that can sometimes produce erratic bounces, PolyTour Pro offers a uniform response every time the ball leaves the racquet.
5. High Durability (16G): The 1.30mm diameter provides maximum resistance to shearing and breaking, making it the ideal choice for heavy hitters who frequently snap thinner strings.

Best Suited For

1. Intermediate to Advanced Players: Those who want the control and spin of a polyester but find "tour-stiff" strings too punishing on the arm.
2. Big Hitters Seeking Stability: Players with fast racquet head speeds who want a thicker, durable string that won't "bag out" or become springy too quickly.
3. Players Transitioning to Poly: If you are moving from a synthetic gut to your first polyester, this is the industry-standard starting point.
4. The "EZONE" Look: The Blue colorway is a perfect aesthetic match for the Yonex EZONE racquet series, creating a sleek, unified professional setup.

Why Choose the 16G Reel?

The 200m reel is the most economical way to maintain your equipment. For players using the 16G (1.30mm) version, the focus is usually on durability and consistency. Having a reel allows you to restring as soon as the tension begins to drop, ensuring your racquet always feels exactly the same every time you step onto the court.
