Review: The product description says 'Poly string of the year 2014', used by Martina Hingis who has made a remarkable comeback in doubles after years of absence. This polyester string is praised for its durability, control, feel and comfort. Actually all facets of tennis. I would like to test that myself! In my previous review I wrote about the Head Hawk Touch, a flexible string with a lot of feeling and a dampening effect. In my Wilson Juice Pro the Head Hawk Touch felt very soft and flexible, a bit too soft for my taste in combination with the flex of my racket. In my opinion, the Yonex Poly Tour Pro 1.25 is a less elastic polyester string that at first glance looks like my old strings that I played a lot in my Wilson. With the first ball contact you feel like coming home: a wonderfully immediate feeling! As I expect from a poly, the string does little other than transmit the force of the blow directly to the ball. It was also immediately noticeable that the serving was done with a lot of precision and control. I have rarely served so stable. Doubled two sets and only had to hit three second serves. The strokes from the baseline are comfortable and don't feel bad on my arm. The length of my strokes is also perfectly fine. You do have to provide power yourself, the string doesn't really help you with that. By going a pound lighter, you might get a little more free power. The advantage of this string is that you don't hit for too long (overheated) and you can therefore spread it out without holding back. In my opinion, this string works well in a more flexible frame with a lot of weight. On a next test I would have the string strung a little lower. Hitting volleys is nice and direct with this string. On the other hand, the subtler balls jump a little more. But by finishing your shot well, this will quickly resolve itself. Furthermore, slices are also easy to hit and have sufficient length. For players who can generate their own power, the Yonex Poly Tour Pro 1.25 provides a lot of stability and direct ball feeling. Absolutely recommended for the more flexible frames.
