Dude, stop looking to the left, it’s really distracting, like when you’re talking to someone but they keep looking away
Thanks you just gave me a good idea for my next video!
@@MarkSansait try to put ur script on the top of your camera and step a bit further away. this will look much more natural
Fantástico insights Professor Mark !!
woooow!! the sound. very impressed 👌🏻
👌👌👌👌🏿👌🏿
Cant wait to see the last part of your match at essential tennis! Really fun to watch
Did u enjoi?
I've never mentioned this before but i always count how many time i want to hit the like button on each of your videos. This one was 4 times.
Was really hoping for the "string explosion" at the end lol. Great video Mark.
So I was i
I strung up my Babolat Pure Strike 3rd Gen 18x20 with the Fire @ 17 gauge 46lbs. It retained the control and feel, but gave added power and depth of shot that my previous string (RPM Blast) could not. The Pure Strike is not the easiest racquet to use, but with this string, it becomes almost like a current-gen Ezone 100. Effortless swinging but with controlled power and good feel. Slices, especially on the forehand, were razor sharp and the ball barely bounced.
I've read that this string is widely used only for crosses in hybrids due to it being so slick, but I really enjoyed hitting with a full bed. It transformed my racquet into a point-and-shoot, put it where you want it stick, where previously I had to swing really fast to get good depth. My stringer warned me that this string could cause elbow problems due to its stiffness, but it felt plush and comfortable with no pain in the arm. The best part is that it matches the colour of the Pure Strike so well. It's become my go-to string for this racquet.
Thanks for your review that introduced me to this string! Much appreciated. There are agonisingly few reviews of this string on the internet.
Try putting Yonex PolyTour Pro on mains and Yonex PolyTour Fire on the crosses!
@@MarkSansait Will do! But I think I gotta try full bed PolyTour Pro first so that I can get a feel of what the hybrid middle ground might be like.
How does this compare with Rpm Blast in terms of spin. Is it similar?
Hey Mark. Would you think this would be good in a hybrid with a shaped poly main? I’m using Ghost Wire atm and enjoying it but thought I’d try some other round poly crosses. Am after something slick to encourage spin and to just soften the feel and give ball pocketing.
Great vid, dude! I'm trying to find my go-to poly and will give this one a shot :)
Let me know how it goes!
Great review Mark. Would you prefer this one instead of Poloytour pro?
I’m a big fan of this string! Think the new rev string is along this line with the silicone oil infusement as well as being slightly shaped so would be interested to hear your thoughts on that one too if you get a chance to test!
so you think rev is better than fire ?
Do you have a review on the PolyTour Rev?
So, is this now your "string of record"? Trying to remember if you mentioned on the ET match videos what string you were using (I seem to remember that the racquet you were using and the tension were listed?)
How does this compare to Solinco Outlast? Which one is more comfortable? Whick one offers more spin?
Hi Mark! Great review! i've used this string, and its awesome! My racquet is a Yonex Duel g97 330g. i'm a one handed backhand player, and i thought that the ezone can be too powerful for me to switch. and here in my country is almost impossible to test a racquet. What you think about this? Thanks!
Thanks for the review!
*shoutout
!
Can you please compare with Yonex Poly Tour Pro? especially comfort & durability/longevity
how about spin potential compared to alu power ? is it about the same or more ?
How stiff is this string compared to solinco cnfidential?
I feel like I'm in a history lesson😂🎾 great video btw Mark
ALIENS!
The blaze it in the honda civic made me lol so hard i had to sub
420!
Been using this in a hybrid at 52 lbs in cross with xcel in the mains at 56 in head radical S. Feels awesome and no arm issues as well. Will be my go to set up from now on…
How have you liked it since your comment? I was thinking of something similar with maybe Velocity MLT in the mains and Fire in the crosses. Was hoping to get some good spin with that combo.
@@TheTOShow1 Forgot I mentioned this. Been so long ago. lol. I don’t play with the radical S anymore but used a similar combo with gut main and fire crosses in my gravity mp. A multi or gut main and fire cross would give great spin and control. Use my Percept 100 these days and hybrid with technifibre multi feel and Polytour air cross. Awesome combination
@@bmanbusee3812 Thanks for the advice. I've been experimenting with the 2023 VCore 98. I think I might go back to full bed of polytour pro. Not the most interesting but I like the feel and spin I get with it but the tension maintenance isn't the greatest.
Mark at it again with a fire 🔥 intro
BLAZE IT!
I'm still waiting to try Isospeed Baseline Control! After you mentioned it Tennis Warehouse ran out. Should be in this week.
Apparently it sold out after I released the video.
Sorry not sorry hahaha
same thing for me
i’m waiting for it
Yo Mark question. When you measure the stringtension, do you only use your machine as reference to the start tension, or do you measure with the tourna as well? I find it somewhat hard to believe that strings increase in tension. But if that is the case, maybe it's a good idea to show the tension before and after by using the tourna tension meter.
While I certainly appreciate his content, it’s hard to understand how a string can possibly increase in tension. That would seem to defy any law of physics. He must be measuring inconsistently in some way shape or form.
@@curttheboywonder This actually happens to me with the hyper g. (The regular, not soft version) After 3 to 4 matches it has 2-3 lbs more tension that i stringed it.
That's very odd..
The string tension increased after you play? How does that work? Can anyone explain this happening?
I will investigate!!!
Why is it better than PTP?
Hi Mark, I am new to your channel and I like what I see... Keep the good work going... Good review of the Yonex Poly Tour..
Have you ever tried Volkl V-Torque Tour 1.25? It would be interesting to hear your comment about that string. I switched from Volkl Cyclon since it has much more grip and a bit crispier feeling than the Cyclon. I have it on my new YONEX EZONE 98 TOUR and my old YONEX VCORE PRO 97 330G.
Thanks for stopping by!
I have never tried the V-Torque :(.
How do you like it?
@@MarkSansait should be high on your list according to me.. I will try the Iso.. baseline Control (something) and get bat to you if I still think the same about V-Torgue... :-)
first let’s go mark!!!
legooooo
Nice vid broski
COME AT ME BROSEPH
@@MarkSansait woah Jamal don’t pull out the 9 ahahahahahahha
He said “four oh my ass” lmao 3:20
Hehehehe
Wondered why no one has ever done a review on this string before, TW hasn’t even ever done one.
Kerber uses it in the crosses and Elena Rybakina uses it as a full bed.
Ive tried it as a cross string with Nat Gut mains and its a very slippery string so great for the gut to be able to move across it with very low friction.
Ive just complete moved away from Poly’s now
Probably because TW doesn't make enough money of this string
This is in my top 3 strings. poly Tour Fire great string...bit of a hidden gem as not too many people I know use it
How does it compare to rev
@@Bambotb never tried rev
Does plush equate to a softer feeling?
Might try a pack just for the sick sound!👍
Yes it does! :)
@@MarkSansait Thanks Mark.
Thinking about improve the top spin into my VCore, what string do you recommend? The fire or the Pro? Or still other better string for spin?
I would do a shaped string for extra spin potential and bite!
@@MarkSansait do you have any model x brand to recommend?
@@motivacao_sa Solinco Hyper-G or Solinco Confidential
@@MarkSansait many thanks. Will try one of these on my Yonex VCore 95 Si
Lmk how it goes, fam
How would you compare it to Confidential? I am using it in my Pure Strike at 50 and 52 16x19 and enjoying it very much. Now, I'm seeking a tad more power, so I might get the 17, or try another string. Thoughts?
I just did the comparison last night. Fire is way more power and much better feel. Totally worth trying.
@@petesamuelsongsmw6751 would you consider yourself a herd hitter? I am one my self and wondering about this string. I use confidential in the mains currently with a soft poly in the crosses
@@conorbergan4843 I'd say I take full cuts. This string is way more spin and power. I also felt more connected when volleying
@@petesamuelsongsmw6751 thanks for responding so quickly, ill have to try this out in my Ezone 98
@conor bergan no problem! Also, I really liked Poly Tour Spin. Maybe a little more. Very close for me though.
Nice review. Sometime, how about Yonex Rexis?
Very nice multi and plays as well as the pricier options imo. Not too powerful in 16 gauge as well
How does this compare to Yonex Polytour Pro?
Stiffer! But still a damn good string!
Been using Fire 🔥 (mostly) for roughly 18 months...seems to be sort of a hidden gem in the Yonex line up. Also with all the big name strings, Yonex often gets overlooked beyond Poly Tour Pro.
Cheers!
BLAZE IT!
How is it better than PTP
Can you review Casper Ruud's string setup? It's hybrid of yonex poly tour spin on the mains and yonex poly tour pro on the crosses!!!
I agree @Mark Sansait
Can you do a review of a Dyreex string, preferably Cube Max?🙏🙂🎾
Nice channel btw👌
🔥🔥🔥
You need to test the yonex poly tour pro. New best strings on the market. Just got myns from tennis warehouse
I reviewed it already 🤓🤣
@@MarkSansait haha mybad
Why is this better than REV?
Ptpro is round as well iirc
Would you recommend this string for the new vcore 95 coming out now in January? I hit with topspin.
I think this string could blend well with the spinny vcore. Am I right or not?
You can definitely try but I guess it could be a little bit demanding setup with 95inch head and stiff poly. Maybe try it with like 20kg tension.
And then test something like tour bite soft at 21kg in that 95 vcore and see what you like better.
Hi..i really like your channel:) How does it compares to RPM Blast that i'm currently using? I'm using an EZONE 98 305g, as well!
Good racket choice.
This is MUCH MUCH better than the Babolat RPM Blast in terms of performance.
DO NOT LIGHT ANYTHING ON FIRE PLEASE
@@MarkSansait Perfect, thank you!!! I’m really considering this string as well as the Solinco Hyper G. How the Polytour Fire compares to Hyper G? 🟥 Vs 🟩
Solinco Hyper G gives more spin potential but MUCH MUCH less comfort/finesse
@@MarkSansait Thanks Mark! Really appreciate your reply!!!
I liked RPM blast better personally...
Hey Mark just wanted to give a video idea . . I am 21 years old and have recently switched to co poly strings since they provide great control that I need . The thing is I have heard from many that polys can be dangerous for your arms long term so I 'd like your opinion on the matter 😃
Will do! :)
Are you using ezone98 tour?
I am using the non-tour version
@@MarkSansait do you customize it? how much lead?
Leather grip, but no lead tape
Noob Q - what are the benefits of round polys over shaped?
Better snap back and everything that comes along with it.. power, spin, etc.. though not gripping the ball as much will cancel the spin increase effects.. lol. So you give and take for everything...
It’s YO-nex. Long O sound. I’ve been saying it wrong for over 20 years, apparently.
Opposed to yawn ex? I always said yo nex.. figured they were both fine..
"I will actually attempt to light this tennis string on fire."
that was the last thing I expected to hear today.

updated! Thanks so much for calling it out!
@@MarkSansait no problem. joining now
haha awesome, I wont be on tonight because im on youtubelive. stop on by!
@@MarkSansait i’ve been looking on discord. i think u need a general chat channel to just chit chat lol
first like and comment!!!!
of my egggossss
hair looks better
Thank you!
I’m starting to think that the tension measurer is wrong
Possible! I gotta read through the documentation to see on proper calibration!
@@MarkSansait yep
please review DUNLOP BLACK WIDOW
It's on the list!
it has horrible durability, didn´t even last 4 hours for me
I have this string and even though i had strung it 49 on mains and 46 on cross it was still way too stiff for my Yonex Vcore 95 as this is a stiff racket. I have sore arm now so I'll guess I'll go to the Poly Tour Pro a softer string or Solinco Hyper G Soft. This string would be great as a cross string but not for a full bed, as you said its a substitute for Alu Power which is used as a cross string with natural gut regularly by the pros
This string made my arm sore as well...
Most people do ALU full bed...natural gut is for rich people
Try Kirschbaum Pro Line Evolution, and you will not need any other 🎾
I tried the Kirschbaum Pro Line Evolution 2, i loved it except it provided NO spin potential whatsoever.
😠
@@MarkSansait It provides good spin for pocketing the ball. As a coach, most of your spin should come your technique and not racquet or strings. Ofcourse, more open string patterns and sharper strings, can give some more.
@@MarkSansait there is no pro line evolution 2. It is the blue string available only in 17 gauge.
Pretty much everything comes from technique.. almost all of this gear "technology" is just marketing bs.. it doesn't do much of anything.. but it's fun to play with I suppose.
$18 ?!? That price is NOT 🔥 but maybe worth a couple packets and hybrid it
Its SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper by the real for some weird reason...
Mark's planning on going into the history category instead of tennis
"ALIENS!"
Hold on, Hold on .... What??? Your Tension went UP after 6 hours of play???? What kind of witchcraft is this??? lol :))))
If this is such a good string, why is this not your string of choice?
Price
@@MarkSansait Oooh.
@@MarkSansait Dude, its 146 per reel. I believe you use 130 gauge, but 125 is not that different.
Next yonex string name: Yonex Poly Tour Water
What about Yonex Poly Tour Earth?
Yonex Poly Tour Wind
@@MarkSansait sounds good
Yonex Poly Tour Marshmallow .... For Comfort :))
Lol this reminds me of Captain Planet
