We love the durability and feel of these YTex pro tour yellow tennis strings. Best strings we have come across. Fantastic service provided in shipping and speed of delivery and very helpful. Can’t thank them enough for the support they provided. Love this string!!! Well done YTex
Been using the Protour black 17L for a cross string with Square X Sharp in the mains. Everyone has been loving it on my team. Hoping it will be durable enough to keep this my top spin/arm friendly poly hybrid!!!
I strung my ProKennex Ki Q+ Tour (315), 98 sq inch racquet with a 16 Gauge (1.30mm) multifilament in the mains at 52 pounds and the YTEX ProTour Blue (1.20mm) in the crosses at 50 pounds. This string set up allows me to have comfort, control, spin & power. I was able to practice on the hitting wall at the local park for a solid hour with no pain. I used this racquet and string combination when practicing with the ball machine, and my shots from the baseline were deep and controllable, and landing inside the opponent's baseline with about two feet to spare. These strings are very comfortable and pockets very well. Pick your target and hit it. I highly recommend YTEX ProTour strings to anyone suffering from tennis elbow, and this is coming from someone who had non-surgical treatment with plasma injections to repair the damage done to my tendons in my elbows from 24 years of military service and unrelated to tennis. I was very particular and cautious when experimenting with various tennis racquets and string combinations with the goal of playing tennis pain free. I string my own racquets, and I liked the ProTour Blue (1.20mm) so much I bought a reel because this will be my go-to co-poly. In the summer months when the temperature gets into the mid-90's, I will try the YTEX ProTour Orange (1.23mm).
Really pleased with the feel and power combo. Looks great in any racquet. Can’t beat it for the price! Subbed it for technifibre razor code in a client’s yonex e zone and he loved it!
I switched from Gamma Glide to Protour Blue 16, and like it a lot. It is a very smooth string and provides good feel and manageable power. Have a couple others I string for, and they also had the same sentiment.
Experimenting with Hexagon-X, Quad-Twist, and Octo-Twist in the mains. Stringing at 50x48
Customer very happy with the feel! And let's face they look great in this racket!
I'm a 5.0 level player and a former #1 at my high school all four years and played with these strings last night for the first time. I got the strung at 52 lbs in my new Prince ATS Textreme Tour 95 and it went phenomenally well. The string basically did everything right. It gave me great spin, control, power, stability, touch, and comfort. It had perfect ball pocketing and was a nice blend of soft and stiff: stiff enough to produce good power but soft enough to not kill your arm. It just felt fantastic and I love the lime color so much, and it's so affordable! Thank you to Ivor for making one of the best strings I've played with!
After being super impressed with Hexagon - X Pearl Red, I couldn’t wait to try Protour Blue 1.20mm in my T-Fight 305 XTC racquet. Protour Blue had a crisp feel WITHOUT ANY JARRING SENSATIONS! My racquet has a 18 / 19 string pattern and Protour Blue matched the control my stringbed offers. The only time I over hit was when I was late. I was please with the feel, spin and length of my shots. The feel of the ball coming off the racquet was so pleasant… where was this string earlier in my life?? My YouTube channel “THE TENNIS JONES” will be doing a review in the near future. Great job YTEX 😀🎾
Wanted to see how the logo would pop on the orange strings. What do you think ? Wilson Blade at 48#. 16 x 18 pattern. Super good feel and plenty of pop to go along with it. Highly recommend this string from the awesome YTEX catalogue .
Love both strings and the face mask, an unexpected and very welcome surprise included with my order.
I used it I'm the mains with the mint green synthetic gut & WOW! I played doubles tonight & hits very well. My volleys are even more crisp than the 4.0 rating I have. Gives heavy spin on my serves. I recommend the 17L & a little less tension for maximum results.
If the power, spin, durability chart on the package was on the product page, I probably would have skipped ordering this offering from YTEX. However, I am glad that I didn't pass this string by and tried it out. I generally only play hybrid setups and hit for two hours last night with ProTour Orange in the mains and Forten Tournament Nylon strung at a center reference tension of 50.
Definitely one of the lowest power strings I've ever tried and it is just what I need. I've been trying hit with a much lower launch angle recently and this string is the prescription I've been looking for without having to adjust my swing mechanics. If you are use to a more lively string I recommend you string it 15-20% less to maintain the you hitting depth. In my first playtest I went 10% under my normal tension and it wasn't low enough to put the ball consistently deep enough in the corners. Other than that, the set up delivered an otherwise consistent play and response in stress situations. If you prefer playing with heavy sticks (12+ oz) this string is for you and me. I finally can swing out and have almost no fear of overhitting. Also, there is seemingly a lot more control than the packaging suggests. I won't be able to answer the durability question for a while since I want to play it 5# lower.
That said I'm definitely adding this string to my personal inventory and looking forward to playing matches with it next week after I dial in the tension.
After much tinkering with my Prince Pro 100P I have settled on Quadro Twist as my mains and the Protour white as the crosses. I feel like the white version of the Protour has a great feeling pop to the string. The black in the 16g has a little more power which in my setup that wasn't what I was looking for in a cross string. Overall the Protour is a great line of your basic round poly. It can be played as a full bed or complement a textured string as a cross!
I've been introducing the ProTour Blue to my stringing customers and the feedback has been very positive. Great soft feel and good snapback. Perfect as in a hybrid or as a full bed. Definitely worth a try.
I like using the ProTour as a cross string in a hybrid stringing for a few reasons: offers nice comfort, allows good snapback and seems to amplify what the main string is there to do. Of course the benefits of Y-Tex strings in general are all there too! Great value and above average durability, plus there's real people to offer advice and ask questions of, winner products from a winner company!
My favorite feature of Protour Blue is the softness. There are very few copolys that I can use without hurting my arm. At the same time Protour Blue provides some additional spin in my hybrid with gut.
I was looking to soften my string bed a bit more as well as trying to increase the snapback of my strings. By adding Pro Tour to the crosses with Quadro Twist in the mains, I feel like the strings still grab the ball since QT is in the mains, but I believe I increased my spin due to the better snapback of the strings now that a smooth poly is in the mains. It also made the overall feel more plush, which is what I was after. I'm very happy with this hybrid and will be using it going forward. I string the mains at 48 and crosses at 46.
I use Protour as a cross with Square X as the main. Gives me plenty of spin and pop on the ball
Great string! Comfortable but with good spin! Highly recommended for players seeking this combination characteristics from a poly string.
