Yonex POLYTOUR PRO 16G Tennis String Reel Yellow

The Yonex POLYTOUR PRO in 1.30mm (16G) Yellow is the most durable and stable version of the brand's most popular co-polyester string. While the PolyTour Pro series is famous for its "plush" and dampened feel, the 16G variant provides a solid, beefy hitting surface that is engineered to withstand the heavy impact of hard-hitting baseline play.

Performance Profile

1. Maximum Durability: The 1.30mm diameter is the thickest gauge in the lineup, making it highly resistant to premature breakage and shearing. It is the ideal choice for heavy hitters who find themselves snapping 17G or 16L strings too quickly.
2. Plush, Dampened Feel: Despite being a durable polyester, it maintains the signature comfort of the PolyTour Pro line. It effectively absorbs harsh shock and high-frequency vibrations, offering a more cushioned impact than traditional, stiff "tour" strings.
3. Rock-Solid Stability: The thicker gauge provides a more stable and robust stringbed. This results in a very predictable launch angle and a consistent response, even when dealing with high-velocity incoming balls.
4. Controlled Power: This string is designed for the "big hitter." It offers a low-powered response that allows you to take massive cuts at the ball with 100% confidence, knowing the stringbed will "tame" the power and keep the ball deep in the court.
5. Signature Yellow Aesthetic: The vibrant Yellow colorway is the classic look for this string, matching perfectly with the Yonex VCORE and EZONE series for a professional, cohesive setup.

Best Suited For

1. Frequent String Breakers: Aggressive players who need a long-lasting string that won't compromise their arm health.
2. Intermediate to Advanced Baseliners: Those who swing with high racquet head speed and require a stable, predictable stringbed to dictate points.
3. Heavy Flat Hitters: Players who hit a very "direct" ball will appreciate the solid feel and lack of string movement that the 16G gauge provides.
4. Value-Conscious Players: In a 200m reel, the 16G provides the longest lifespan per stringing job, making it the most economical way to maintain a high-performance setup.

Why Choose the 16G (1.30mm) Reel?

The 200m reel is the ultimate tool for the competitive player. Because all polyesters eventually "go dead" (lose their elasticity), having a reel allows you to maintain peak playability. For the 16G user, the focus is on consistency and longevity—ensuring that the racquet feels the same during the final set of a tournament as it did during the first practice session.
