The Solinco Outlast is a co-polyester string that offers a softer stringbed than traditional polyesters. We found the string to provide great bite on the ball, imparting tons of spin on our shots. Great on its own or as part of a hybrid, this string is perfect for the big all-court player.

For the player who loves taking massive cuts at the ball without having to worry about over-hitting, Solinco Revolution is perfect. This string's control allows the biggest hitters to supply more of their own power through faster stroke speeds. The hexagonal profile provides sharp edges for gripping the ball and loading it with spin. Although this co-poly is firm and durable, we found it to be softer than the majority of Solinco polys. This is a great option for intermediate and advanced players who want spin, control and durability without excessive impact shock.

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 works well not only for advanced players but also for 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 play testers 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.

Our testers noticed immediately how well the shaped profile gripped the ball. This is not only a perfect string for players seeking more control and spin, but it also packs a punch for those who favor a heavy ball.
