Hey Tan, I was there about 2 weeks ago (from California)and was hoping to bump into you at that tennis club. Really like your videos, great job with those topics . keep it up
Our rackets were accidentally strung with regular Tour Bite as opposed to the Soft version which we usually use and somehow I felt there was more spin from there regular. Has anyone noticed this?
Because there is more spin with the regular, it just a little more boardy. I just drop the tension and it feels a tad better. Tour bite 1.30 is actually softer too then 16L. I hear 17 gauge is the best , just dies fast, haven't tried it. But all the regulars create more spin because they're stiffer and you can hit harder. Soft also has softer edge that wear faster so reg will always have better spin especially 1.20G
If arm issues were not an issue would you stick with confidential? I ditched our lynx tour because it’s heavy and doesn’t provide enough spin and switched to confidential. It has more control and byte than hyper g.
@@tantennis yeap that hybrid combo. Solinco suggests it too. You get the crisp of hyper g and the softness of hyper g soft. Great feeling combo. Very plush and crisp. You could say Tour byte soft is more to the crisp side and less soft. But softer than Tour byte obviously.
Hello nice video, what you prefer Tour bite Soft or Tourbite normal? What is your favorite string in the Blade v8 and on the Solinco Whiteout? Many thanks
I prefer tour bite soft because I like pocketing feel but remains crispy. Tour bite is too harsh for me. On blade I like tour bite soft and ice code. On whiteout I like hyper G soft.
Just finished my playtest wirh TBSoft. I can’t understand why i never tried this string all these years. Maybe because i hate dead plastic feeling of regular tour byte. Soft is another thing……best feeling string from solinco and easily comparable to cyclone tour. I believe the main con of this string would be that it doesn’t lasts long ? We shall see how it goes. But this string played good from first hit. No need to settle down. So soft (without being too mushy) and crisp in the same time. Plush with gorgeous sweat connected feel. It soooo connected that exceeds all my expectations. The sensation of byting the ball is also top notch. It produces a heavier ball than hyper g and it doesn’t have the plastic feel of hyper g and confidential. Due to its massive byte it felt to me that it also offers better directional control. I am crossing my fingers to only see how it lasts…… haven’t been excited with a string since 4G and yonex Rev.
I hated this string with 16L. I also hated tour Bite reg 16L. For some reason, all tour bite strings are stiffer in the 16L G. Idk why or how, could be where its made or something. But 1.30 is softer in both over 16L and 17 is the best in both but both with die quickly obviously the lower gauge you go. (Besides 16L lol) idk ?
Hyper G is way better than X-Perience... More spin, control, tension maintenance and fell (less muted). X-Perience more power, comfort and snapback (very slick)
Until it becomes trampoline and I got too much fliers. Depends on rackets tho. On my blade it feels like it can stay until I break it. But on my whiteout, it kinda lose tension quicker.
@@Le-Chuck There’s one time that I felt a significant drop in tension on my whiteout after like 7-8 hours. It is still playable but not as good as it was before. On my blade it can stay for like 15 hours and I don’t feel that way.
I prefer HGS mainly on the basis of longer playability for me. I can play it right up till it snaps at 16 hrs or so. With TBS, I need to cut it out after 10hrs due to becoming quite boardy. (I string at 45-48lbs, so not the case that I’ve overstretched it).
@@tantennis My current favourite soft poly set up is HGS mains and Isospeed Cream crosses. Excellent snapback and comfortable for my occasionally sensitive elbow. I like how Cream is soft enough that notching of the HGS mains occurs more slowly than using a firmer cross string.

Wow, you came a long way from CA. If next time you come and see me don’t forget to say hi.
Hello, what gauge and tension do you recommend for pure aero 100 2021 with this tour bite soft?
Favorite string. Omg..I love it
Awesome!

16L in soft and reg is to stiff, its like it made somewhere else.
@@robertgarcia2266 Interesting. Thanks for the info.
@@robertgarcia2266 @tantennis I now use 45lbs for TBS. What tension do you recommend if I were to try normal TB?
@@robertgarcia2266 I now use 45lbs on TBS. What tension will you recommend if I were to try normal TB?
Great video! How does it play at the end of the string life? Does it become uncomfortable and the power decreases?
Thanks! I think it’s more of a mushy, bouncy, less spin and harder to control. Not dead and uncomfortable.
เดี๋ยวจะไปลอง set up นี้บน tr960 บ้างนะคะ ตอนนี้ขึ้น 48 ทั้งเส้นตั้งและเส้นนอนอยู่ค่ะ
ลองดูครับ อาจจะเด้งขึ้นหน่อย
ผมใช้เอ็นรุ่นนี้ขึ้น fullbed 52 lbs ในไม้ tf40
รู้สึกว่ามัน stiff เกินไปหน่อย ถ้าจะปรับเปลี่ยนให้ลด stiffness ลงนิดหน่อยมี setup อะไรแนะนำไหมครับ
ผมว่าลองลดความตึงลงมาซัก 5-10% ครับ ไม่ก็ลด gauge เช่นจาก 1.25 ลงมา 1.20 ครับ จะสบายขึ้น ไม่งั้นก็ไป hyper G soft ไม่ก็เอ็น yonex ก็ค่อนข้างจะนิ่มครับ
If arm issues were not an issue would you stick with confidential? I ditched our lynx tour because it’s heavy and doesn’t provide enough spin and switched to confidential. It has more control and byte than hyper g.
I still don't like the confidential due to its muted/dead feel. I prefer hyper G soft from its great snapback and a more lively stringbed.
@@tantennis have you tried RPM team ? You should try hyper g / hyper g soft hybrid. Best of both worlds.
@@TheodorosKolokotronis799 No I have not. Will put RPM team on the list. Hyper G on main and soft on cross?
@@tantennis yeap that hybrid combo. Solinco suggests it too. You get the crisp of hyper g and the softness of hyper g soft. Great feeling combo. Very plush and crisp. You could say Tour byte soft is more to the crisp side and less soft. But softer than Tour byte obviously.
@@TheodorosKolokotronis799 interesting. I will try that next time.
Hi,
Is this a good option for the Yonex Ezone 100 2022?
Yes it is
what's a good poly for power, pocketing, and feel? thanks
I think PT pro and hyper G soft.

I prefer tour bite soft because I like pocketing feel but remains crispy. Tour bite is too harsh for me. On blade I like tour bite soft and ice code. On whiteout I like hyper G soft.
Is it as soft as poly tour pro except with the added bite? Planning to put this on the crosses of PTP?
Tbs is noticeably stiffer
No I think tour bite soft is firmer than PTP. I wouldn’t consider it that soft. But yes it has good bite.

Glad to hear you like it. Keep me posted on the tension maintenance.
Hi how did it end up lasting I’m looking for a lively powerful string and this is the one I think I want but I don’t want to restring often
I hated this string with 16L. I also hated tour Bite reg 16L. For some reason, all tour bite strings are stiffer in the 16L G. Idk why or how, could be where its made or something. But 1.30 is softer in both over 16L and 17 is the best in both but both with die quickly obviously the lower gauge you go. (Besides 16L lol) idk ?
Can I try this on my Head Gravity MP???Till now I have only used lynx tour…….Is there any other string suggestion with recommended tension
I have tried this on Gravity MP before. It was ok. Tension 45-50 lbs works for me.
Thanks
Can you try sigum pro xpreince ? I think its better then hyperG
Will put that on the list
@@tantennis thank you
Hyper G is way better than X-Perience... More spin, control, tension maintenance and fell (less muted). X-Perience more power, comfort and snapback (very slick)
@@nakmuay5034 i tried both already and i like signum pro for my gameplay , for me the spin is a bit more then hyperG
Hi Tan. How long do you keep it in your raquet ?
Until it becomes trampoline and I got too much fliers. Depends on rackets tho. On my blade it feels like it can stay until I break it. But on my whiteout, it kinda lose tension quicker.
@@tantennis ok and in term of session or hours/weeks you would say how much for the quickest?
@@Le-Chuck There’s one time that I felt a significant drop in tension on my whiteout after like 7-8 hours. It is still playable but not as good as it was before. On my blade it can stay for like 15 hours and I don’t feel that way.
@@tantennis ok. Thanx
ตัวนี้น่าจะนุ่มและสปินใช่มั้ยครับ
สปินครับ แต่ไม่นุ่มมาก
