Watch the QC on the Yonex. I just picked up a new 100S and the RDC shows it to have a flex of 70, a SW of 316 and a strung weight of 11.6oz. Not exactly what I was expecting.

Tour bite is an old fashioned pure poly. Pretty stiff. Edge to the B5e in my book. If using Tour Bite I would suggest keeping tension in the mid 40s or lower.
