YONEX POLYTOUR strings are unique. Stretched under controlled temperature, the POLYTOUR series delivers greater durability, reduced fatigue and consistent repulsion.
Bernard's choice POLYTOUR SPIN has Giga Spin Structure. Itfs an evolutionary pentagon shaped string structure that generates greater and prolonged levels of spin.
As the result of Spin Performance Test, the POLYTOUR SPIN has 14% greater spin performance which lasts longer when tested against the conventional string (as tested by YONEX).
In the womenfs singles, Zheng Jie (EZONE Xi 98) advanced to the second round after the opponent Virqinie Razzano retired during the match. She also uses POLYTOUR SPIN. The blue string boosted Jiefs performance for her win in the opening match.
According to the Spin Performance Test comparing ball flight characteristics between POLYTOUR SPIN and conventional string, POLYTOUR SPIN with Giga Spin Structure delivers greater spin for a higher ball flight and aggressive bounce.
