Gosen G Tour 1 16/1.30 String Black

5.0

Overview

Introducing Gosen G Tour 1, a medium firm co-polyester that rewards big swings with exceptional control. The low power level will enable you to swing bigger when adding pace and spin to your shots. Gosen has designed G Tour 1 with silicone oil coating so that strings snapback during contact in order to increase the ball's rotation. A great option for intermediate and advanced players looking for a comfortably firm control string that will keep the biggest strokes on target.

Offers a slightly firmer feel and a tad more control than the G Tour 3 string.

Gauge: 16/1.30mm
Length: 40ft/12.2m
Composition: Co-polyester Monofilament

Comfortable and great spin, power controlThis is the best string on the market for the modern player looking for great spin, and a nice combination of power and control. I'm been a stringer for 20 years, and I like to experiment with different combinations of string. My go-to is RPM Blast 16L at 56 lbs. When it's warmer during the summer and when my arm is loose, I will sometimes use a full-bed of RPM. Over the years, RPM has given me arm problems. Even if you don't hit with much spin topspin, you should still give G Tour 1 a try. It pockets the ball nicely, but still has the spin potential of RPM without the ultra-dead feeling. The comfort factor with these strings is also way better than RPM. I can use a full-bed of G Tour 1 with zero arm discomfort.

Comments: Just tried it in a Wilson Ultra 100 at 50 lbs. Incredible string! Loads of spin and control. I'm making less errors and the extra spin and control helps my groundstrokes. I've played with RPM Blast for the past 8 years, but I am now going to switch to this string. Vamos, Gosen!

Comments: It's a string that's coated with silicon and elastic, but the coating is alive until the end! It's soft, powerful, spins well, maintains its energy for a long time, and is so strong. Thank you Gosen!

Comments: I'm a Division 1 player and I've played with many strings throughout my career. Was a bit hesitant at first to try Gosen strings as I haven't heard of them before. But wow, these strings are fantastic. After 2 hours of hitting, these strings open up and somehow get better. Spin potential is great and what impresses even more is the tension maintenance and durability.

Comments: Strung this in a Yonex Vcore 98 at 52lbs. I'm honestly very impressed! Almost like a livelier, yet controllable version of RPM Blast, and way softer on the arm. Has been in the string bed for over a week and no noticeable tension drops so far. Well done, Gosen.

Comments: This string is horrible. I bought a set, and used it as 2 crosses in a hybrid. Both snapped in the stringing process.
