Stringing Experience with Solinco Tour Bite Diamond Rough

[darklore009]

I recently strung couple of rackets with Tour Bite Diamond Rough. Seriously this string is really stiff to work with; especially with weaving it with the crosses as its hard to pull it through without damaging the grommet and the main strings. Just wanted to know other stringer's experience with this string. I will be getting 3~4 more rackets from this client thats stringing with her Babolat Pure Drive around 53ibs.

It's not too bad. Granted, I string fully poly for college players all day long. I wouldn't want it in the regular rotation. I curse my self every time I give it to them as option just for tempting fate that I could be stuck stringing it regularly for 4 years. It will damage grommets and it is hard to pull across on crosses. I had a video once upon a time of the string creating sparks when stringing because of the static/friction it built up being close to the edge of the frame and close to the clamps. For sure something I haven't seen out of other rough strings. It also plays much softer than it strings. It is one of my favorites.

It’s not bad. No worse than typical copolys.

I string other Co Poly too that is much more manageable than Tour Bite diamond bite. The other string thats annoying to string with is Genesis Typhoon back when I was a highschooler and stringing for all for my coaches racket.

Any twisted and shaped poly sucks to string. No barbwire, typhoon, or the like for me if I can help it. I do string Ytex quattro twist and it isn't as bad but still prefer squarex out of the Ytex lineup.

Not trying to sound like a shill, but this is exactly what the stringweaver tool is good for.
