Solinco Tour Bite 18

Found a few sets of this one from last year, laying around. Just realized that I bought the 18 gauge of this one to try and never did.

In general, I like Solinco stings. They last longer then the Lux and have similar properties.

This Tour Bite is great. It has tons of spin, it is crisp, maintains tension well. Predictable string. The only real stand out is the spin. Well above average and most other shaped strings on the market. Still not as "bity" as the Spiky Shark, but close. Other then that - no real WOW factors but at the same time to weak areas. A good all around string at a decent price that will last longer the Lux. Great buy in my book.

Feel - 7/10
Control - 8/10
Power - 7/10
Spin - 9/10
Durability - 4/10 (in 18 gauge, 17 and 16 will do better)

Just to add, I finished my second set now. The string is great, but the 18 gauge dies rather fast, faster the the 17 I had previously played. And when it dies - it is bad. I would recommend the 17 over the 18.
