Round Yonex Strings

[TennisJrDad]

I am looking to evaluate some Round Yonex Strings and would love some real world feedback from anyone who has played the following strings and is able to compare them.

I am trying to find the most equivalent to Head Hawk 1.25 (Platinum/Grey). I tend to key off of: Tension Maintenance, Playability Durability, Comfort, Control, Spin, then Power.

I am looking specifically at round strings as a cross to a shaped string, to add a little more consistency to the ball launch and touch at the net.

The three Yonex strings which seem to be closest from a purely numbers perspective are:

• Yonex Poly Tour Fire Red 125
• Yonex Poly Tour Strike Grey 130 (130 as opposed to 125 since it was closer performance wise)
• Yonex Poly Tour Pro Blue Blue 125

Any first hand feedback and experiences would be most appreciated.

Thank you all in advance.

Poly Tour Pro Yellow is one of the best strings I've used. The other one I use is Head Hawk Power.

I thought PTP Yellow was more lively than PTP Blue

PTP blue was not even close to the comfort level of the yellow. The blue played much more firm, but no noticeable increase in spin, and my arm was not a fan of it either.

YPTP Yellow and Blue test out almost identically, so I could use them interchangeably. Based on the comments here, I would probably go with the yellow.

I agree blue was much more harsh, deader. I strung them at the same tension and I thought they were 2 different strings. Same gauge too.

How long does the blues slickness last compared to revolve? Trying to decide on medium soft slick round cross
