solinco tour bite 1.30

Solinco Tour Bite String Review

Solinco has become one of the most popular brands on the string market and their best-seller is the square-shaped spin machine, Solinco Tour Bite. Here is my Solinco Tour Bite string review that deals with both Tour Bite and Tour Bite Soft strings.

For this review, I tested Solinco Tour Bite in both a HEAD pro stock TGT 293.2 (IG Prestige MP mold) and the Wilson Clash Tour . In a more control-oriented string bed, I string it at 22 kg and in the 100 sq inches of the Clash, I went for 25 kg for better control. I have tested Solinco Tour Bite Soft in several different racquets, but prefer it in a slightly tighter string bed. It played great in my HEAD Graphene 360 Radical Pro for example.

Solinco Tour Bite String Review – How does it play?

Solinco Tour Bite is a firm poly for players looking for control and spin. If you struggle to generate your own pace or suffer from some kind of elbow/wrist concern, it is not the string for you. But if you are an advanced player who likes to swing hard but still retain good control, the Solinco Tour Bite is one of the best strings on the market.

Personally, I like firm and controlled strings so the Tour Bite works great for me. I liked it both in the Clash Tour and the HEAD pro stock I was testing it in. The low stiffness of the Clash and the firmness of the Tour Bite string is simply an excellent combo that makes you feel connected on every shot. Also, Tour Bite has above average durability for shaped poly strings and with a string-breaker such as the Clash racquet, it still played okay after the 8-hour mark.

In the more controlled Prestige racquet, you definitely need to string it lower to open up better power and feel. At 22 kg, I felt like I could place the ball on a dime and I could see why the pro player I was hitting with uses it as his go-to setup. Even with the tighter 18×20 pattern, the ball gets some decent spin thanks to the shape of the Tour Bite string.

Durability is slightly above average for a poly string. Stiffer strings tend to last longer and Solinco Tour Bite is definitely crisp enough to remain playable in your racquet for around 10-12 hours. This all depends on how hard you hit, how much spin you put on the ball and how open the string pattern on your racquet is.

Solinco Tour Bite String Review – Solinco Tour Bite Soft

If you think that the regular Solinco Tour Bite might be too firm for you, you can always try Solinco Tour Bite Soft, which is a far more comfortable and slightly more powerful string. It does not have quite the durability of the original Tour Bite, but it gives you good spin and control and a far more comfortable response.

Solinco Tour Bite Soft is a perfect string in a crisper, control-oriented racquet such as the HEAD Graphene 360 Radical Pro I reviewed last week. It gave the racquet some extra pop and comfort that I thought it needed and still retained the control that I really appreciated about the racquet. I could string it low and get a nice arch on the ball with consistent delivery.

I think the Solinco Tour Bite Soft is a great choice for players looking for a control-oriented string that is more gentle on the arm than firmer polys.

The durability depends on the racquet, the conditions, how hard and with how much spin you hit. I would say Solinco Tour Bite Soft is not the most durable and plays kind of like a multifilament string when it comes to tension maintenance.

Solinco Tour Bite String Review – Summary

Solinco create some of my favorite strings. I previously reviewed Solinco Hyper-G very positively and this time I am happy to have written about both Solinco Tour Bite and Solinco Tour Bite Soft. Tour Bite is a great choice for the more advanced player looking for spin and control, while Tour Bite Soft is the more comfortable but less durable option. I would say Tour Bite Soft has a large audience from intermediate to advanced players.

My choice of string depends a lot on the racquet, but in the Wilson Clash Tour I really appreciated the control and spin that Solinco Tour Bite gave me. Simply a top string!

Hi Jonas, between Solinco tour bite soft and Volkl Cyclone tour, would yo say they are similar?

Hi Lucas, I think you get more control with the Tour Bite and that is why I prefer it. But you do get more power with the Cyclone Tour.

Hi! Could you do a review of angell hallo 2 string? It would be nice! Hugs

I’ve been using Tour bite in the crosses with HDX Tour in the mains on a Wilson Ultra Tour at about 51Lbs. I have to beg the stringer carefully distribute the crosses so as to avoid notching the mains. If Solinco could engineer a hybrid setup with Tour Bite, that would be great.

There is a Tour Bite + Vanquish Hybrid out there! :)

Hi Jonas, I discovered your blog while I was looking for news on the new Radical Pro. I had the chance to test it for 3 days, and it definitely became my racquet! I came from a Speed ??Pro Graphene 360 ??but with Radical I felt more at ease, and I gained in power with less effort, and without losing anything in control.

Curiosity on the strings that you recommend: the Tour Bite Soft with what caliber? 1.20 or 1.25?

Hi Jonas. Love your content! I play with RS Lyon 1.25 in Blade 98 18×20. If I want same feel but more spin, should I try TB Soft 1.25 or TB in thinner gauge?

Hi, Yes, try it in 1.20 and you will feel a difference! Cheers / J

Hi Jonas, I very much appreciate your reviews ? After reading your review I bought the Wilson Ultra Tour. Would you recommend the Tour Bite Soft for the Wilson Ultra Tour?

Hi Stephan, Thanks! Yes, the Tour Bite Soft would be a good choice for the Ultra Tour!

PS. If you feel like my advice is really useful, please consider becoming a patron for $2 or more at patreon.com/tennisnerd DS.

I tried for the first time the Radical Pro with Head Lynx 1.25 strings: excellent feedback, great power (without too much effort as instead the Speed ??Pro required me) combined with control and a good spin. Then try your setup – Solinco Tour Bite Soft – but at 1.25 and not 1.20 as you suggest now. And compared to the Lynx the racquet seemed to me, as it were, more dull, less reactive and less powerful. They are only subjective sensations that depend on my tennis, or instead to go from 1.25 to 1.20 would fill the differences I felt with the Lynx?

PS: it must be said that with the Lynx I felt a little discomfort in my arm, perhaps it made me feel all the rigidity of my racquet …

I think you will feel a difference with a different gauge of string. You have to experiment a bit and see what works for you. The best way to mute vibrations from a racquet is by using a stiff and heavy racquet with a low string tension.

Thanks for the answer … Following the hypothesis of experimenting, how do you see the Solinco Hyper G? Still on the new Radical Pro of course. And possibly what gauge? I am also tempted to try Head Velocity to gain in power and comfort…

Love Hyper-G. Try it in 1.20 gauge.

Jonas, Love your reviews. Thanks for doing them. Just finished testing the Wilson Clash Tour from TW and believe I am ready to go with it. The demo had Luxilon 4G at 51 lb. When I called them yesterday, they recommended the new Technifibre Ice Code White -16g. Do you know anything about this string and how it might compare to the Tourbite and Tourbite Soft?

Thanks a lot! I have heard good things about Ice Code White and one of my tennis friends are doing a review for Tennisnerd as we speak. I haven’t tested it myself so can’t really comment on the playability, but seems like a good string!

Solinco Tour Bite Review

A subtle grey string that promises real spin on the ball. does it play like heaven or hell.

Solinco was a brand I had only recently heard of, and it was refreshing to try something different apart from the mainstream options of Head, Yonex and Wilson I had become so accustomed to.

Voted “poly of the year” and “number 1 spin” product on StringForum, Solinco’s Tour Bite appears to have good credentials when it comes to spin and power.

It is also used by several ATP Pro’s, including Prajnesh Gunneswaran, a top 150 ATP singles player. Does the string live up to expectations?

Solinco Tour Bite Specification

Utilises an innovative high-powered co-polyester monofilament fibre designed and shaped to generate maximum power while amplifying the spin and intensity of the ball. Solinco’s Tour Bite Sales Pitch

String specs:

• Co-poly monofilament
• Square cross-section
• Gauges – 1.05 mm, 1.10 mm, 1.15 mm, 1.20 mm, 1.25 mm, 1.30 mm, 1.35 mm
• Colour – Light grey

Racquet Setup for Testing

I play with a Head Prestige S from 2018. Prestige racquets are Head’s series for precision and control and typically come with a smaller head size as a result. Mine has a 95 square-inch head with a 295 g unstrung weight.

It also has a 16×19 string pattern and is 0.66 points head-light. Tour Bite was strung at 55 lb with a 1.25 mm gauge, on which I also placed Head’s medium-level dampener – Pro Damp.

Solinco Tour Bite Playtest

So how did Tour Bite Rev play? Let’s take a look with a full playtest and review.

Initial Thoughts and How It Felt

I stepped onto the court with a friend to warm up in the service boxes. Even at close range, the ball had a great shape and arc over the net. My wrist relaxed, and my mind steadied as I enjoyed the easy access to topspin, hypnotically watching the gentle rise and fall.

Coincidentally the sports shop in town had run out of the white Head grip I usually bought, only having the grey version to hand, which matched nicely with the string colour.

It didn’t seem as slick as the other strings I had tested and was considerably more matt and grainy in appearance and touch.

However, stepping back onto the baseline, I noticed a lack of power.

At first, I thought it was the balls my opponent had brought. But after testing with my fresher ones, I realised the string was missing speed in a normal rally situation.

As much as I tried to swing faster or hit flatter, the impact on power was limited. The string also felt slightly stiff, and I found it more difficult to pull off delicate strokes like a soft drop-shot or pickups around the net.

It wasn’t uncomfortable, but I noticed a distinct lack in responsiveness, and at times it had the sensation of hitting with a plastic board.

Resultantly with the minimal feedback, I didn’t feel a strong connection between body and racket. The accuracy in my groundstrokes diminished as I couldn’t sense too well which part of the racket the ball had struck.

The topspin remained, though, and I was able to hit with good net clearance behind the baseline, with a satisfyingly high bounce afterwards.

Another thing I was impressed by was the amount of backspin the string generated. The ball dug into the ground and stayed low.

It made for a piercing shot, using the backhand slice to go deep into my opponent’s side of the court, whereas before the stroke would have been used more in a defensive scenario.

How It Played

On the forehand side, the extra topspin was useful in defensive and neutral scenarios. It bided me time if I was fatigued to send a higher shot over the net and gather myself for the next shot.

The taller bounce also made it difficult for my opponent to rally and build momentum. The weaker responses from the high topspin enabled me to come forward and volley the ball away or step inside the baseline and take the ball on the rise for an aggressive play.

I rarely found myself making an error by hitting the ball beyond the baseline, as the spin kept my shots in nicely.

However, if I wanted to hit a flat ball or create a sharper angle with less topspin, the lack of power meant that my opponent could instead come forward and attack.

The extra effort I put in trying to add more speed to the ball sometimes tired me out and made me make unforced errors out-wide, with power overcoming accuracy.

Essentially, I only had one rally speed to play at. It was not impossible to hit a hard, flat shot, but it was nowhere near as fast with other strings and occasionally did not end the point; my opponent had time to make a get and extend the rally.

On the backhand side, it was a similar story, where a topspin shot bounced high and kept me in the rally, but a flatter shot sucked the power out and put me at a disadvantage.

One pleasant surprise was the impact of the extra backhand spin on tactical variation. Whereas before, I had only used the slice for mostly defence, the spin on the backhand side was so aggressive I felt more confident to really go for the shot, landing the ball deep in my opponent’s side and keeping low, making for an attacking play.

This gave me additional opportunities to win the point outright or make further trips to the net and end with a volley.

With volleying itself, I found no significant advantage or disadvantage that noticeably impacted the game. Slice volleys were perhaps slightly more effective than their punch counterparts, again due to the low bounce.

Though there was a problem with accuracy from the baseline, it did not arise at the net because the targets were closer and more open to hit at.

Despite the boost in spin, the lack of feel made drop-shots and softer volleys a risky play – either landing on my side of the net or overshooting and sitting up for my opponent to attack.

A flat serve was decent, though if there were a slight error in technique, it would result in a short, soft ball that immediately put me on the defensive.

When it came to serving, a slice or a kick out-wide were rewarded again with the extra spin and are probably your best bet when playing with this string.

Durability and Price

The string’s snapback was slightly below average – the absence of slickness meant I had to move the strings back into position at times but not frequently so despite a small diminishment in snapback, the square cross-section appears to have maintained and boosted topspin.

I noticed no loss of tension, and it was consistent in its play over the two days. The cost of the string is $11.99 (£8.95) for a 12 m set which is great value to an advanced player looking for more spin and reasonably affordable for an intermediate or beginner player seeking a hybrid setup.

Beginners or intermediates with a non-hybrid setup may find the string is not worth purchasing unless bought out of curiosity.

Who Is This String For?

The easy access to spin, diminishment in power and loss of accuracy all point to the same conclusion – this string is really meant for professional or advanced players.

While the technology of the string provides extra bite, the deficiencies are made up by the features of an advanced player’s game. Strength and conditioning, heavier racquets and looser tensions supply the speed, while practice, training and raw talent provide the accuracy.

This helps to explain why Tour Bite has been well received in the past but has been found difficult to play with by an intermediate club player like myself.

That is not to say that club players should be afraid of trying out the string. If you are of a big build and play frequently, you may well have the power and accuracy to make this string an effective way to increase spin without limiting other parts of your game.

Intermediate or beginner players might benefit from having a hybrid setup by putting Tour Bite in the crosses and having an all-around string in the mains for balance.

Final Thoughts

Though most string packets have “power” as a feature for marketability, this string does not deliver on that promise.

It is really meant for advanced players as Solinco Tour Bite can add a great amount of spin to your game as long as power and accuracy can be found elsewhere.

This string also looks to be an interesting option when considering hybrid setups for all levels.

• Great spin on both wings, useful for defence and tactical variation
• Price is very reasonable
• Underpowered
• Loss of accuracy
• Feedback is minimal

So it’s rather a warning “don’t buy or you are a brand collector? The article tells much about your player’s competence, so I would rely on your experience and never buy Solinco. I guess, you just bought it out of curiosity and to have a material for an article, right?

Solinco is the brand, they make some great strings. Confidential is one of my favourites.

Tour Bite is a pretty stiff poly so I wouldn’t recommend it for most players in a full bed, tbh I don’t think many players should use polyester, it’s just been a trend.

They do a Tour Bite Soft which is more arm friendly…

@Jonathan Some news about Fed’s surgery? Who will play Fed’s role at RLC? I heard recently, Medvedev will play RLC, but who else? And will Medvedev be the team leader? No Fed. No Rafa. No Thiem. Who will follow the tournament in Europe?

SRF published an article today, he is just rehabbing and says the worst is behind him…

Europe is Medvedev, Ruud, Tsistipas, Zverev, Rublev and Berrettini.

It will be interesting to see if it does well with crowds and tv ratings. It’s a good lineup but none of the big three. Maybe Fed fans will watch out of loyalty/fear of it flopping because he’s not there.

I think I will watch some of it, bit of a time difference which means night sessions are not possible. It is not clashing with anything though.

Who is SRF??? 😉 Sir Roger Federer? Well, just hit the right day to ask 🙂 Re RLC Strong team Europe. The leader in terms in terms of relation with Fed and own carisma should be Zverev, no? If exciting matches are to be expected, depends more on who will play for World. If Fed is just rehabbing, he could somehow appear there to play his usual master role 🙂 Crutches don’t make his appearance impossible. Could even use crutches to hold discipline in the team 😉

Damn! Who is “Jio´nathan”??? Can’t you add the very very small plugin to give the author of the comment to edit his/her crazy spelling errors???

Cheers for the review Alex.

I put Tour Bite on the crosses with a Gamma string on the mains in the Blade 98 v8 I demoed recently .

I think it will work ok in a hybrid setup, not my favourite as Luxilon ALU Power just feels nicer. Maybe I should have put it on the mains though.

Absolutely – I think for the price, if a player was looking for a bit more spin, Tour Bite would be a no-brainer in a hybrid.

And my pleasure! 🙂

@PRF – https://twitter.com/ThiemDomi/status/1441402070188367872

What does Thiem mean about the media here?

One thing is official. Alex Stober does not work for Thiem anymore. I’m rather cautious with news coming from media known from publishing gossips. One of such gossips was just published of late, allegedly coming from interview given by Stober to tennis.com about unfair way of splitting. But … I could not find this interview on tennis.com. So actually only secondary information about the issue. What I can guess only is, there was something weird during Thiem’s recovery, as he was allowed to take off the splint and start to hit. In few days after next news was, he felt pain and after consultation with doctors it was decided to wear splint over many weeks more , surgery not excluded. This was a huge setback, making him end the season. And this could eventually be a matter of conflict with Stober, because probably he was just expected to decide, if Thiem can start hitting or not. Right now only insiders could tell, what’s going on, but you know how many call themselves “insiders”, while only speculating. I can may speculate but would never present myself as an insider. I don’t have a source for such information. As this resulted in secondary comments even in rather serious Austrian media, Thiem decided, he will explain the whole thing to the media (after wanting to keep the thing private), so maybe we will get this explanation. It was similar with Bresnik split. Lots of speculative comments, presented like they had a hard background. But nobody knows, maybe even Bresnik and Thiem, what actually happened. Thiem is a strong family man. And Bresnik wrote in his book himself, the main factor of Thiem’s starting pro career, were just parents, not him. Thiem’s family seems to be a good one and in case of doubts Thiem would always stay with the family. We will never know deepest details, because Thiem is not eager for the world to know his privacy. IMO Thiem has outstanding integrity, but nobody i perfect. That’s all I know so far and m only trouble is, who will replace Stober. Because it seemed to be a very good and deep relation and Stober is meant to be one of the best physios worldwide. In the meantime Thiem also replaced Mike Reinprecht by Jez Green as a fitness conditioner. It’s all additionally complicated by pandemic travelling restrictions, because actually Thiem’s favorite fitness coach is Duglas Cordero (friend of Massú). That’s quite all I can speculate. I’m not very excited about the thing. More important is, if and when he would have the surgery, but I hope, this is in the hands of independent doctors 🙂

As I expected, Federer came to Boston and makes the atmosphere in Team Europe. Not sure it still using crutches, probably no more 🙂 So a kind of good news! Do you know who streams RLC in Europe?

Well, just found, it’s available on Eurosport. So I will watch later a bit from replies to see Federer there 🙂

Product Description

Solinco Tour Bite Soft lives up to its name. This very impressive control string is definitely on the softer side of the polyester spectrum. Given the overall playability, we think this gentler version of Tour Bite will work well not only for advanced players but also big swinging intermediates. Like the original version, Tour Bite Soft is shaped for massive grip on the ball. The result is huge spin potential.

Solinco Tour Bite tension

• Thread starter flo52

I tried and liked the Solinco Tour Bite 1.30 at 50.7 lbs on my Head Speed MP. The problem is that my balls are 15cm out of the base line. I'm wondering of how much I should raise the tension ?  

vamos_rafa0113

I'm also using tour bite with youtek speed pro in 52/50 and it's perfectly well. IMHO this string is pretty low-powered so the problem should be in your stroke technique. Try to hit the ball early and in front then this setup will give you perfect placement.  

I've played during 12 years and stopped during 5-6 years and now coming back. During these years I only trained on hard surfaces and my new club has only clay courts so that's probably the issue. I'm too used to quick surfaces so I think I hit too late. You think I should not increase the tension ?  

Hall of Fame

I would try a different string just to compare. I actually think you should go down with tour bite. I've been down to 35lbs.  

I'm trying the MSV Focus Hex 1.27 at the same tension. I've only played 1.5 hours with it but I think it is too stiff for my arm. I'm a baseline player and my racket is quite powerful, so I'm looking for spin and control. I've checked the string finder ( http://twu.tennis-warehouse.com/learning_center/stringfinder/stringfinder.php ) website to try to find the best string. Previously, I tried an other poly with a 1.25 gauge and I broke it in 6 hours so I decided to go with 1.30 gauge. The Tour Bite seems to offer the best spin according to the String Finder (for a 1.30 gauge). For example, the Head Lynx seems to be a good choice regarding to spin but it is less stiffer than the Tour Bite (according to the website) with the same energy return, so more powerful, which is not what I'm looking for. Knowing the MSV is too stiff for my arm (~230 lb/inch of stiffness) and the Tour Bite feels great (~205 lb/inch), I could probably try one at ~215 lb/inch. I could probably try these ones: - Solinco Revolution 16 - Luxilon Big Banger Original 130/16 but they offer much less spin than the Tour Bite 16 according to the specs.  

Well actually the Solinco Revolution has a good spin too but I don't like the color :?

Lukhas said: The point of using Tour Bite is to increase your spin potential. It's already stiff, low powered and very spin friendly. If you're launching long, don't raise your tension. Just hit more from low to high and use spin to your advantage. Don't aim for the baseline; instead, aim inside the court, between the baseline and the service line.

During these years I only trained on hard surfaces and my new club has only clay courts so that's probably the issue. I'm too used to quick surfaces so I think I hit too late. You think I should not increase the tension ? Click to expand...

If you're mostly hitting long, try what Lukas said, alter your swingpath and lower your net clearance. Some guys can use TB at 30 lbs., and the ADDED spin keeps the ball IN. Get used to anything new. I use TB16 at 47 lbs on some rackets, 40 on others. As for DRough, one bud of mine says it lasts less time than regular TB, but he's an erratic lefty, like me. Not sure about rough in shape AND in sliding. Reg TB is shaped, but very smooth allowing sliding with ease.  

If you like Tour Bite but your racquet is too powerful, maybe you could lower the swing weight by using 17 or 17L Tour Bite. I would keep your tension the same though, as the thinner gauge and the lower momentum should offset.

Thanks for your replies. I played a lot this week and I don't have the issue anymore.

What are some of you guys stringing this at? 16L. I was told by Solinco that that range is 48-52.

I want a compromise from low and high tensions, I'm thinking either 52/50 or 51/49. I know it's probably going to end up feeling the same, but I'm trying to pick one over the other.

Tour bite is very low powered and super stiff. It should be strung between 44 and 50 tops. My advice is to lower your tention and work on your strokes. If this doesn't work, look for a new string. Or look for a new frame to use this string in.  

Since my last post, I've gotten a 35 lbs'er on a Aero500 and a 40 lbs'er on a Red0S, in addition to my 38 lbs'er on my Bio300T's. 35 is approaching too low. All the tensions keep the ball IN by adding a bit of spin. I rotate with twin rackets strung traditional 50's with BBanger, Ice, and other strings, and there is very little swing path difference.

Seeing how 49/47 reacts in the 16L.

The Solinco Tour Bite 1.30 tennis string is a monofilament, with a pentagonal section to give maximum spin and precision to each shot. Solinco was the first to produce co-polyester strings with addition of alpha-olefin-based additives with the use of heating and cooling processes to stabilize the characteristics. This allows you to obtain an high static rigidity string but which, once strung, manages to be softer and more performing compared to other polyester monofilaments. This special innovative construction allows to significantly reduce the voltage without loss control to the advantage of power. Ideal for competitive player looking for a complete string with exceptional performance for power, spin without losing control. Caliber: 1.30 Color: Grey 200 meter Reel

Solinco Confidential String Review

• Playability duration
• Not recommended for beginners

Although it was officially launched in early 2020, Confidential , a shaped co-polyester string from Solinco, has lived in the shadows for a few years. Much of the information surrounding this co-poly, like the proprietary ingredients used to make it and the names of the players who helped develop it, is confidential. What isn't confidential is the nearly off-the-charts control score our team gave this string. The control comes from a familiar Solinco formula consisting of a stiff monofilament construction punctuated by four grippy edges (think Hyper-G and Tour Bite). The result, according to our team, is the kind of spin-friendly precision that brings the ball down on a dime. Although our crew reported no downsides, Confidential is likely too underpowered for beginners, and it may not win over players who require the plush feel of a natural gut or multifilament nylon. However, for the experienced ball striker who wants a durable co-poly that rewards full swings with pinpoint accuracy, Confidential is hard to resist.

Solinco Confidential String Scores

Control - Score: 93 / Power - Score: 42

With its firm construction, Confidential is not designed for the player who wants easy or "free" power. It is designed to give experienced players the control they need to take massive cuts at the ball. In other words, it is ideal for Michelle's big strokes. She explained, "Confidential's stiff and low-powered response was perfect for my game. It had the characteristic I look for from strings, which is the confidence to hit out and play without fear of overhitting. Because I tend to lean toward more powerful, stiffer racquets, and I know I can hit out at times, I really rely on my string setup to help with control and keep my balls landing inside the baseline."

Although he found increased power over time, Troy gave Confidential high marks for control. He said, "My impressions on control and power changed somewhat over time. Initially, this string felt very control-oriented, somewhat dead and low powered. I adjusted tension a couple of times, and I finally settled on 47 pounds with a lock-out machine. I thought that the firm low-powered feel had to do with me stringing too tightly, but even when I dropped the tension, the initial hitting sessions felt somewhat firm and very control-oriented. I noticed that the string settled in tension-wise after about 3 to 4 hours of hitting, and I started to find a nice pocketing feel. There was also some added pop to this string as time went on."

Spin - Score: 90

With its grippy shape and high level of control on explosive upward cuts, Confidential is built for spin. Needless to say, Troy was impressed with this string's spin potential. He said, "Spin was great throughout the playtest, much like I find with Solinco Hyper-G. I could feel the edges on my fingertips while stringing it in my racquet, but it wasn't overly sharp. I noticed on court that I was getting plenty of grip on the ball, and the main strings snapped back into place with relative ease. Overall, Confidential gave me what I look for in a shaped co-poly, and that was easy access to spin from all areas of the court. When I needed to hit passing shots or cross-court dippers, this string gave me the confidence to keep the ball inside the lines."

Although she doesn't play with a lot of spin, Michelle was impressed by Confidential's bite. She said, "Although I have flatter mechanics, I do access spin at times, especially off my backhand wing. I was definitely satisfied with the grab Confidential offered. I could get the ball dipping down reliably, and I felt like I could change up the pace of a rally by adding a good amount of arc. I often access more spin when I'm on defense and trying to get myself back in the point."

Comfort - Score: 63 / Feel - Score: 83

Given its high stiffness level, Confidential is not meant to deliver the plush comfort of a natural gut or multifilament string. In fact, it is precisely this string's firm construction that gives it the connected feel and control that big hitters like Michelle crave. She explained, "I liked this string's firm feel and predictable response on big swings. I felt very connected to the ball, which helped with control. I'm known to string in the high 50s and low 60s, and there are a handful of strings I can name that definitely inflame my arms and leave me a bit sore. I have never had soreness with Hyper-G, and I haven't given Tour Bite the chance I should, so I can't comment on the comfort from that string, but Confidential didn't cause me any problems. I definitely wouldn't recommend this string for someone with arm issues or anyone looking for a soft poly. However, it was a comfortable option in terms of low-powered, deader polys."

As a longtime poly player and big fan of Solinco polys, Troy predictably appreciated the feel of Confidential. He described, "I liked this string's direct feedback and overall responsiveness. I found it to have a medium comfort level compared to other co-poly strings. I know that Solinco may have been targeting a slightly more comfortable feel with this string, but it is still definitely firmer and crisper in nature. I think that Solinco did a great job giving this co-poly a bit more pocketing and elasticity without making it feel soft or mushy. I wouldn't put Confidential in my top picks for comfort-oriented co-polys, such as Volkl Cyclone Tour, ISOSPEED Cream or Solinco Tour Bite Soft. I also wouldn't say it's as firm as Tourna Poly Big Hitter Silver 7 Tour, Luxilon 4G or Solinco Tour Bite.

Playability Duration - Score: 88

All strings lose tension over time, resulting in changes to the feel and playability. Typically, those changes create control problems, but sometimes a little tension loss can be a good thing. Troy explained, "I actually preferred this string after it lost a little tension. It played a little softer and had slightly better pocketing. Like most of the Solinco co-polys I've tested, Confidential settled in nicely and maintained a consistent feel and response for the majority of the playtest. It never got mushy or erratic. I am going on 10 to 12 hours with the 16L (1.25) in my Yonex EZONE 98+, and it is still playing great."

"I was happy with the playability duration," said Michelle . "It felt great for two weeks for sure, and the stringbed played consistently through the playtest. At one point I noticed a tinnier feel, and that may have subsided as soon as the string went dead, but it really didn't affect the playability. Thankfully, the string did not get mushy or trampoline-like, since I hate when that happens. I would say Confidential was above average in terms of playability duration."

Overall - Score: 89

What type of player would you recommend this to.

Michelle - "Big hitters looking for control from their strings. "

Troy - "I think Solinco Confidential is best for the advanced intermediate and higher level player who knows what to expect from a co-poly. This string could be an option for a first-time poly player if they are ready to tinker around with tensions to dial it in. When it comes to a crisp and responsive feel for a poly string, I would put this one up there with some of the best of them, including Luxilon ALU Power."

Troy - "The crisp and responsive feel for a co-poly, easy access to spin and better-than-average playability duration."

Michelle - "I love that I'm able to hit out with confidence and can rely on this string to help control my power. I also appreciated the string's consistent playability throughout the playtest. I think Confidential is going in my top three."

Michelle - "None to report."

Troy - "Not much to dislike for me. I am still a huge fan of Hyper-G, but Confidential is definitely growing on me. "

Comparing the string to others they've tried, our testers said:

Troy - "If you are a fan of Hyper-G and Tour Bite, Confidential is definitely worth a try. It combines a couple of characteristics from each to make a very high performing co-poly. It's a bit more feel oriented and responsive than Hyper-G, but it also feels slightly firmer. It's not quite as crisp as Tour Bite. I would also compare it to Luxilon 4G Soft, Tecnifibre Black Code 4S and Tourna Poly Big Hitter Silver 7 Tour."

Michelle - " Confidential feels a bit more controlled than Hyper-G, which I like because I don't have to string it as high and can still maintain good control. It has great access to spin as well. I think an obvious comparison would be to Luxilon ALU Power, but I personally felt Confidential had better durability and the drop off wasn't as noticeable."

Excellent String

This string has great feel, spin and control. Tension maintenance so far has been great. I only have about 7 hours on it and I strung it at 55lbs and it really hasn't changed. This string is crisp and feels amazing. This string is so good I'm buying a reel of it. Definitely recommend this string .

String for the serious player

TB Soft provides advanced players with the precision and tremendous spin potential of poly while not being as stiff and hard on the arm as a regular poly string. As a poly, it is also very durable, allowing use of 17/18G without frequent breakage

Great Product, Great Price, Great Shipping

Purchased Solinco Tour Bite Soft 18 Gauge from Holabird Sports (by the way NO OTHER online merchant even listed this), and while it was not available when the online store stated that it was, a representative called me and advised that it was out of stock, but that stock was coming in the next week, and whether I would like to wait or to cancel the order. This kind of customer service is exceptional and I greatly appreciated the call to ask of my intentions. The reel arrived a little longer than expected, as it was shipped by USPS, but other than that, I was extremely happy with my purchase.

Alternative to Luxilon ALU Powee

It is cheaper alternative to ALU Power. Good ball pocketing spin and power

Best string I've tried so far..
