Comments: Great string. I love that it's a soft poly because it feels good on the arm and wrist; and it allows you to get great spin, power, and touch at the same time. I'm a 5.5 player that plays four times per week and durability seems great so far. Highly recommend for intermediate to advanced players.

Comments: Trying out this string from using regular Cyclone 16 Black, recovering from tennis elbow. Neither causes pain, but being cautious by using a softer string. Generally both versions are more springy than your average pure poly (used Gamma Poly Z in the past). Definitely more pocketing and spin than plain poly. Biggest knock on both Cyclones is tension drop/maintenance, even when giving 30 seconds pulling tension on a stringer so tension weight stabilizes. Having a final target tension of 52 lbs, I decided to string initially at 60 lbs. After my first 2 hour session, the tension dropped to 55 lbs. After my second 2 hour session, the tension dropped to 52 lbs. After my third 2 hour session, the tension stayed the same at 52 lbs. I used the Racquet Tune app to check tensions. I made sure to get my first reading right after a fresh stringing for accuracy. Hopefully this info is valuable for those who want to get more longevity and tension maintenance from this string and others without cutting them out prematurely. Overall, I'm happy with this string. Need to accentuate the loop on forehand to keep the ball in at 52 lbs, so will work on my technique. At 55 lbs, the ball landed 2-3 ft from the baseline. At 60 lbs, the ball was landing at the service line.

Comments: This is my first adventure into poly strings. Usually I use a multifilament. Not quite the power loss that I was expecting but my confidence grew after about 20 minutes of hitting. My accuracy was much better and net play was more crisp. Biggest difference is to make sure that you follow through with your swing to get the depth and control I was accustomed to with the multifilament. Not a bad way to enter the poly universe!

Comments: I have a Yonex Ezone AI98 and have put Cyclone 16 at 54 lbs and Yonex Poly Pro16L at 56 lbs in the two racquets. Initially i gravitated towards the Poly Pro as it had a better feel and softer, similar control levels, but the Cyclone was hard on the wrist and the elbow but better spin. I have a habit to switch the racquets mid session to confirm the feedback and the feel, after around 4-5 sessions i completely stopped using Poly Pro and stuck to Cyclone. I like it when it goes dead, it gives me better control on depth. Cyclone was unplayable for the first session but once it lost some tension it was the better one. But I would suggest it for people who can generate their own power and you will be rewarded with better control and spin. The Poly Pro changed more consistently -- might be able to produce better results but I don't change that often. I have used the Cyclone for at least 10-12 sessions and it has been exceptional performance but hard on the body initially. Next time i am going to try Cyclone 17 at 52-53 lbs and Cyclone 16 at 51 lbs to check which works better for me.

Comments: Unbelievably comfortable, spin-friendly, reasonably priced, and a durable poly. I strung it in my Babolat Pure Strike at 52 lbs and played 7 matches in a doubles tournament (12 sets) and it felt great! Had massive bite on the ball, didn't change in feel, and was surprisingly comfortable. I've officially found my favorite poly. I can see why the Tennis Warehouse playtesters love this string. Thanks Volkl!

Comments: I have played with two racquets with it, using a multi as the cross. Really good feel. Spin was fine but for me it just worked great. A less stiff poly with good control and more power than others I have used. Try the sample pack, it is a good mix. This probably is my fave.

Comments: I think playing with normal Cyclone ruined me for this but, I found the string to not be very spin friendly as the original Cyclone. It also had less feel.

Comments: This tour version of the Volkl Cyclone string is overall very good. The new twisting pattern doesn't do much for spin potential, seeing as the original Cyclone provided more access to spin when I played them side by side. However, these strings offer more pop and comfort, as they're noticeably softer, almost plush, and the power level has gone up a notch or two. I was actually bothered by the increase in power because I was hoping for a low-powered string like the original Cyclone. But with my expectations aside, I found the Volkl Cyclone Tour 16g to have ample spin potential, increased power, softer feel, and the same other qualities of control and bite. I wouldn't say it's an improvement or a step-down from the original version. It's simply an alternative for those seeking more forgiving strings.
