I actually really like this string, probably more than you did, especially for the price. Living in the US, excited to try the 1.20 since the 1.25 is somewhat heavier than other 1.25s, but I find that everything is pretty good with this string - decent spin, above average power, good control, and the feel is somewhat more solid and crisp given that it isn't the stiffest string out there (though it is somewhat stiff, which makes me semi nervous about arm issues)
I’ll add that Confidential is a bit stiffer and deader feel but absolutely more spin. To me, you can really feel that Confidential is a shaped string whereas Lynx Tour I didn’t feel that so much, I’m changing to Lynx Tour though as it’s more comfortable on my arm
Your review is spot on and I should have seen this before I change my strengths from Solynco hyper g to Head. I find it very muted and the spin it’s not that good.. I will move back to hyper g .
I like this string but prefered the cyclone in orange (didn t like the othe colours). Maybe you ll review it (but beware, take the orange 😉 and know it s better After one session)
You can't mesure the tension maintenance after only 1h of hitting... Lynx Tour has a great tension maintenance... You can't do a review after only 1h of hitting... This string is pretty stiff after the first hitting... except in 1.20 gauge (too powerful) and black color (softer and muted). I like the grey color the best. Like many shaped strings, it plays better with a round cross poly.
You nailed it. Lynx Tour settles after about an hour or 2 and stays very playable for a long time. Made in America strings of the highest quality. I say you play again with it and get back to us.
I understand that. But it’s a fact that tension goes from 47 lbs to 43 lbs after one session. I just measure the Tour Hex on my PS97 probably 6 months after and it goes from like 50 lbs to like 47 lbs (didn’t play with it often). But that’s a high bar there lol.
@@tantennis tannner; I tried Tour Bite Soft 17 @48/46 for the first time. Omg. Done with lynx tour. Swing weight became more manageable, easier power, spin, depth and control. What an absolute gem of a string. Perfect in the blade noir. Thanks!
Me neither. I read from many places that people find it firm. Some say should string low 40s. I agree it’s a firm poly but it’s way softer and pocketing than what I thought. Probably spent too much time with Solinco lol.

Thanks
Thank you!
I’ve added this string in my gravity pro and it’s an absolute game changer. Awesome string in grey at 17g, just wow!
thanks for your thoughtful reviews!

Did you try Lynx Tour 18L 1.20mm?
Can you try Head hawk touch and compare these two strings?🙏🏼
Hi Tan, how does head lynx tour compare to solinco confidential?
Lynx tour has alu feel, while confidential has dead plastic feel. Both are control oriented poly. I think lynx tour has more power.
I’ll add that Confidential is a bit stiffer and deader feel but absolutely more spin. To me, you can really feel that Confidential is a shaped string whereas Lynx Tour I didn’t feel that so much, I’m changing to Lynx Tour though as it’s more comfortable on my arm
Can you review luxilon 4g 1.25 please? Cheers
Will put on the list
what would you say are similar strings comfort-wise to lynx tour?
How u compare to msv focus hex soft?
is there any chance you've try head hawk touch and compare it to lynx tour?
So blade with tour byte soft is still your main stick and combo ?
Yea. One thing is I can easily use a 1.20 tour bite soft. Pretty balance and it doesn’t make the racket heavy.
@@tantennis have you tried Tour byte ?
@@TheodorosKolokotronis799 Yes. Too stiff for my arm. I even tried strung it at 40 lbs and I still think tour bite soft is softer lol.
@@tantennis I didn’t like normal tour byte. Stiff and kinda low powered. I am gonna try soft next.
Your review is spot on and I should have seen this before I change my strengths from Solynco hyper g to Head. I find it very muted and the spin it’s not that good.. I will move back to hyper g .
Which blade is that
Night session Blade 98 v8
@ where do you buy ight session blades
I like this string but prefered the cyclone in orange (didn t like the othe colours). Maybe you ll review it (but beware, take the orange 😉 and know it s better After one session)
I like this string. V core 95 48 # 17 ga
พี่ครับลองHead speed pro อันใหม่ยังครับ
ได้ลองผ่านๆครับ ยังไม่ได้ลองจริงจัง
I love Tan Tennis!
Thanks!
Thank you! I would love a luxilon eco power review from you… thank you for your quality content
Other reviews say tension maintenance is great
It's not bad. Just not impressive tension maintenance. Playability is still there.
@@tantennis what's your top picks for tension maintenance and string being good to play with
@@Bambotb mayami tour hex and restring zero. Never had issues with tension drops.
lol I play a the head speed mp 2022 with this string, 1.3 at 30lbs :)
Is that the Speed MP ?
Keep meaning to try a super low tension one day so that might be the combo.
@@rich.e yes. Dink deep waiting for a short ball to blast. I'm still getting use to it.
IMO it's too stiff and demanding. Using it full bed feels like it shrinks the sweetspot. I found it uncomfortable in a dense pattern at times... ;)
Thanks!
I love this string but unfortunately it’s heavy and adds lots of SW in the head.
Yea it’s really heavy
Used in a lighter racquet (Extreme Tour, Gravity Tour) it adds a surprising amount of stability and forgiveness, probably because of that weight.
akin to adding lead evenly through out the head. Which I find really nice. @@vanodne
You are absolutely right, it added 5 SW points to my Pure Aero
Don’t try the 1.20 gauge. It plays so different from the 1.25 and don’t try it at other colors. It’s very different. Brown is the most balanced.
Best looking!

@@amirjon Right! It’s one of the best no-brainer string when you don’t know what to choose
never expected anyone to say lynx tour is soft.
Me neither. I read from many places that people find it firm. Some say should string low 40s. I agree it’s a firm poly but it’s way softer and pocketing than what I thought. Probably spent too much time with Solinco lol.
@@tantennisI agree, I’ve been using Confidential and just tried Lynx Tour and I find it soft
You’re welcome everyone. My nagging finally paid off!
Lolll
It's strung too low and that's why you're losing control. Anything below 48lb is hard to control unless your Adrian Mannarino. Good Vid btw 👍
That’s not true at all. Stringing in the 50’s with full poly isn’t the norm anymore
