Overview
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. Our playtesters reported a more generous power level as compared to the original Tour Bite. Ultimately, though, a full swing is required to get the most out of this string. Big hitters looking to get exceptional spin and precision without a lot of shock are encouraged to take this one out for a spin. This is the thinnest and most spin-friendly version of Tour Bite Soft. Offers slightly less durability than the 1.30 & 1.25 versions.

Comments: I really enjoy the feel of this string when the ball hits the sweetspot. This string is for a player that can generate their own pace with precise groundstrokes. The control, feel and low power of this string make it suitable for 4.5 plus players. I don't think that players below that playing level are consistent enough to hit the sweetspot. It maintains tension well and does not move around in the stringbed. So far, I've hit with this string for probably 3 to 4 hours and although its starting to notch, it plays as if the racquet was freshly strung (strung at 55 pounds in a Hammer H Tour) Again, the string is crisp, powerful and has nice feel if you are consistently hitting the sweetspot. And for the price, it does a fantastic job of meeting the high reviews it has been given. Final note, you need to have the game to reap the rewards of hitting with this string. I'm a 5.5 all-court player

Comments: A very nice combination of spin and feel. Strung it at 48/52 lbs or 46/50 lbs hybrid with both 16 gauge VS Gut and Bi-Phase. Power, nice touch and spin. Zero shoulder issue. Always worked great in a hybrid setup. I'm a 3.5 NTRP player who likes big kick serves and topspin forehands. Playing with a Head Graphene Prestige MP
