Solinco Tour Bite Tennis Restring

Solinco Tour Bite is a co-polyester monofilament string. It is crafted from a high-quality polymer blend designed to provide excellent control, spin, and durability.

Solinco Tour Bite is ideal for advanced players who prioritise control, spin, and power. It works particularly well for aggressive players who generate their own power but need a string that enhances spin and maintains precision.

The main benefits include outstanding spin potential due to its shaped profile, consistent control, and durability. The square profile of the string bites into the ball, making it easier to generate heavy topspin or slice.

It is generally recommended to string Solinco Tour Bite between 22 kg (48 lbs) and 26 kg (57 lbs). Players looking for more control may prefer higher tensions, while those seeking additional power and comfort may opt for lower tensions.

Being a polyester string, the Solinco Tour Bite can be stiffer than softer multifilament or natural gut strings. Players who have arm issues or prefer a softer feel may find it less comfortable. Using it in a hybrid setup with a softer string can help improve comfort.

Solinco Tour Bite is available in a variety of gauges, such as 1.15 mm, 1.20 mm, 1.25 mm, 1.30 mm, and 1.35 mm. Thinner gauges (like 1.15 mm and 1.20 mm) offer more spin and feel, while thicker gauges (like 1.30 mm and 1.35 mm) provide greater durability. Many players use the 1.25 mm gauge as a balance between spin, control, and durability.

The longevity of Solinco Tour Bite depends on how often you play and your playing style. For heavy hitters and advanced players, it might last around 10-15 hours before losing tension or breaking. However, as a co-poly string, it tends to lose tension and playability over time, so many players prefer to restring regularly to maintain optimal performance.

Yes, Solinco Tour Bite is highly regarded for its ability to generate spin. The square shape of the string grips the ball effectively, making it easier to produce heavy topspin or slice shots. This characteristic makes it popular among baseline players who use spin to control their game.

Compared to other polyester strings, Solinco Tour Bite stands out for its shaped profile, which enhances spin potential more effectively than many traditional round polyesters. It also offers better tension maintenance compared to some other polys, although it can still feel stiffer than strings like Yonex Poly Tour Pro or Tecnifibre Razor Soft, which some players might prefer for their slightly softer feel.

Yes, there are different variations of the Solinco Tour Bite. These include the original Tour Bite, Tour Bite Soft, and Tour Bite Diamond Rough. The "Soft" version provides slightly more comfort, while the "Diamond Rough" has a textured surface for added spin potential.
