Solinco Tour Bite 16 (1.30) String Reel Customer feedback
Comments: I am a 17 year old high school player, going to state the last 3 years of playing.
I first started using Luxilon Savage and I loved it....I didn't think I'd find a better string.
Someone suggested that I use Tour Bite's and ever since I changed, I haven't looked back.
Tour Bite's give me that excellent pop, but also great control due to the excessive ball bite. I
can get my twist serve to kick about 7' high. I recommend Tour Bite to anyone who is looking
for a string with good power and spin. This string truly has "out of this world" spin.
Ridiculous.
Comments: I'm an average baseline player with heavy forehand spin and slice/flattish backhand.. Strung
Tour Bite 16 on Babolat Aero GT Lite at 38/36 pounds mains/crosses. Amazing power and spin. Perfect for my game.
Serves has tonnes of kick and I actually swerve the ball mid air. Thats how much spin/power u can generate with these.
I tried the 18s(lasted 1 set) and 17s(4hrs) and yes, I'm a serial string breaker even at 38 pounds. So 16s are the only
option for me. I honestly give this string a 9/10. Doesn't get full marks coz somehow I just hate the color.
Comments: I tried this after been using RPM blast which I found to be too expensive. This is a nice
clean crisp feel, great power and spin comes off well. I would highly recommend trying a pack. I bought a reel now!
Comments: I switched to this string from a hybrid of Tecnifibre synthetic gut and Babolat RPM Blast
because I was breaking them in about 5 hours of play. This string gets tons of bite and spin. It really does bite. It is
slowly growing on me, and it lasts. Only problem is because the strings are so square it lacks touch. Overall, great
strings!
Comments: This is a good string. I came from the Babolat RPM Blast (because it's too pricey) to this
string from a recommendation. When I tried it I loved it's spin. Power felt a little low with me but I think that's from
stringing it too tightly for my taste. I crossed it with some synthetic gut.
Comments: This string has a really nice balance between power, control, and spin, with nothing really
dominating the overall behavior. I have it strung at 55 lbs and it's perfect out of the gates. It's standout advantage
compared to other textured polyesters is its playability for a long time, it seems to maintain the roughness/edge of the
strings a bit better too. I thought Barbed Wire (16 gauge and 55 lbs as well) had amazingly good slice but was a bit
lower powered compared to Bite on topspin and serve. Bite is my favorite string at the moment compared to Black
Code, RPM Blast, Hurricane Pro Tour, Hurricane, Spiky Shark, Pro Tornado, Alu Rough (all very good) mainly for the
extended and consistent playability that I've been noticing. I've never served and hit my groundstrokes more
confidently than with this string.
Comments: This string is terrific! These strings allow me to get SO much spin. I recommend them to
anybody. If you're a home stringer, you may find it a little difficult to string with these. Just be patient and you'll
eventually finish stringing.
Comments: Amazing string. It is a bit powerful and takes a bit longer to adjust. I'd say it's better than
ALU Power Rough. It's softer, has more spin, is MORE DURABLE, and a tad bit more power. I had doubts at first but boy,
I can rip the ball with this string. I could already tell that this string would rip the fur off the ball when I was stringing it.
It had to be one of the spikiest strings I had strung in a while. Anyway, A MUST HAVE IN A SERIOUS TENNIS PLAYER'S
GAME.
Comments: I play with a Prince Exo3 Rebel and I have very top spin heavy strokes on both sides. I hit
the ball pretty hard as well. The first time I strung this string I put the Tour Bite in the mains at 53 and Gosen OG Micro
17 in the crosses at 55lbs. This really wasn't very good at all. Although I had great access to spin and control I really
didn't have the power and the pocketing that I look for in a poly. I cut it out after 2 matches because I hated it and
decided to really drop the tension. I strung the Solinco in the mains at 47 and Gosen at 49lbs. I thought I was playing
with a different string. I still had everything I did with the higher tension but with a much better pocketing feeling and
loads more pop. I was able to put the ball in easily because of the extreme spin that I could get with these strings, but
what amazed me the most is the ability to flatten out shots for winners. It almost felt like PL2 but with a little bit of a
crisper feel. Serves were also great. If I missed my flat serve then I felt very comfortable with really hitting a heavy spin
second serve. I really recommend these strings, but I wouldn't try them if you have a very sensitive arm. They are
pretty stiff, but I mean that is the reason why people who play with poly's so that really isn't that big of a deal. I also
recommend stringing up two jobs with this string. One at a normal poly tension and then one 3-6lbs less depending
on how daring you are.
Comments: This is a really good spin string, has very good bite on the ball and when strung in a hybrid
with a regular syn. string it had a nice crisp feel.
Comments: The spin is great, like any other topspin string, and the power level is very impressive even
strung at a higher tension. Balls also come off the string with a very nice solid pop feel. As for durability, I usually go
through synthetic gut about every 9 sets. This string is durable enough to last twice that, but it loses its texture after
about 6 sets making the spin less effective.
Comments: I like this string. It has a crisp feel. It plays predictable with plenty of power and control.
And best of all it hasn't loosened up like many of the others. I did string it down 3 or 4 lbs. I crossed it with the
vanquish at 3 lbs tighter. Perfect.
Babolat areo pro gt. 56/59lbs 5.0
Comments: I'm not a fan of this string! It's so weird because of its square shape. I would suggest the
outlast over this, which gives you more bite and control and is more cost efficient.
Comments: The Tour Bite is an awesome all around poly. I have never seen any other string come close
to the tour bite in terms of spin production
Comments: I think this string is bad. I tried it and thought it gave no feel or spin. I think big banger is
much better!
Comments: I used this on my Dunlop racquet and this string made a huge difference. Tons of power and
spin. Like it says. This string is good but I think Solinco Revolution is better.
Comments: I really like this stuff. In my opinion it plays a lot like Pro Hurricane (the yellow stuff) but
doesn't lose tension nearly as fast. I usually use a synthetic in the crosses (Sensation or Prince Topspin) to get feel.
Overall, one of the best strings I've used.
Comments: I thought this string had good power and control. As far as spin I think Pro Hurricane Tour
and Alu Rough have more spin. The string didn't move which I liked. I used this in the mains at 60lbs and Wilson
Sensation in the crosses at 58lbs.
