Solinco Tour Bite, Revolution, and True Feel Review

[mcshift]

What do you have to do, to be fully sponsored? what ranking should I have to get it? Are you their rep? Sorry for asking so many Q.

Im not technically sponsored by solinco. early on i got in contact with their director and i've helped them out with promoting solinco and reviews since i was the first person that they found in CO to playtest strings at this altitude. im also helping them out with some graphic design stuff so they're helping me out...

btw, anyone try BW and vanquish, or what does everyone think of vanquish compared to true feel?

I was not a fan of Barb Wire x Vanquish. Strung at the same tension as Tour Bite x Vanquish, I found the string bed too stiff and lacked the power and feel that Tour Bite was able to give. Access to spin was definately there, but for my game, I'd rather have the feel and power.

Both the Vanquish and Tru Feel are pretty good for crosses. I feel I get more feel (duh) and power with the Tru Feel. Very soft, and very comfortable. I had a tough time deciding which one I wanted with Tour Bite. In the end, the comfort and ball pocketing of the Tru Feel won it for me.

I have a reel of tour bite 18g that is only missing 3 half sets if anyone wants it...
still love the string i just cant afford to keep 2 reels at the same time if you know what i mean...

I have been playing a hybrid of true feel in the mains and revolution in the crosses (55/52) and it's just a perfect fit in my Becker DC Pro. Perfect level of power and comfort and spin. The Revolution seems to temper the power of the True Feel mains perfectly and I can swing away without balls flying long. The True Feel seems to be a very unique multi. It has a different consistency compared to gummy, elastic multis like NRG2 or Xcel. It must not be a very powerful multi because I was worried putting it in the mains at 55 lbs would cause it to be too powerful, but that's not the case at all. It also gives you some nice pocketing without being too trampoline-ish.
I dont know how each of these strings plays alone, but together they are fantastic.

do u prefer TB over the BW?

I personally prefer the Tour Bite over the Barb Wire because it grabs the ball so much more. I have been searching for the perfect poly and I found it in Tour Bite 17. The Barb Wire is a great string but I feel it does not grab as much and as a result does not generate as much spin. I have played with RPM blast, Pro Hurricane Tour, Lux Alu Power Rough, Black Code, Tourna Big Hitter Rough, and the list goes on. As I mentioned before Tour Bite grabs the ball so much and generates more spin than the previously mentioned strings. What set Tour Bite apart from the other stings though is the feel that I get from the stings.
