Tour Sniper - Set

$12.95

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Tour Sniper has been engineered with a known formula in mind. With similar playing characteristics as Luxilon Alu Power, Solinco Tour Bite, and Kirschbaum Max Power, we decided to create a string that was softer, with more control, and pentagonal in shape.

Low-powered, Tour Sniper provides ultimate levels of control. It is ideal for players that enjoy this particular feel, but are not happy with how firm it normally is. It comes partially pre-streched to also minimize the significant initial tension loss normally associated with this family of strings.

Tour Sniper is ideal for heavy-hitters. Its edges are less sharp than our square offerings such as Cube, and launch angles are less dramatic. Very "silky", it is extremely easy to string.

Available grey color.

Diameters: 1.25 mm and 1.30 mm

Tension recommendations:

- Normal poly stringing tension.

Approximate string weight with zip ties and no packaging: 21 grams.

Individual 12m set

Stringing Tips:

Given its soft edges and slippery nature, Tour Sniper is very easy to string. Standard considerations are advised.

Superb All-Around Poly

This string is excellent and exactly as advertised. After years of playing with 17 gauge Tour Bite and Lynx Tour, Tour Sniper is my Goldilocks string. I found that I liked Tour Bite when new, but the tension drop and quick notching due to the sharpness resulted in frequent re-stringing. Lynx Tour is a great all-rounder and holds tension more effectively, but is a tad on the heavy and stiff side. Tour Sniper is the best of the bunch. It has a direct response that I would still consider firm, but feels softer compared to other silver tour-level strings. The tension maintenance is excellent, and the silkiness of the string adds to its longevity. I found the power response to be excellent. Even with its softer feel I was able to maintain excellent control. Thank you for a great product, Grapplesnake!

Thank you, Julian! You hit the nail right on the head with your impressions. Very happy that Tour Sniper fits your needs so well.

Amazing strings

Just strung my new Yonex Ezone (2025) with tour sniper strings, and I’m seriously impressed. The power I’m getting off these is next level. Every shot feels more explosive, but I’m still getting great control and feel on the ball. It’s a perfect match for my racquet, and honestly, it’s made a noticeable difference in my game. I highly recommend for players looking to add serious pop to their shots.

Samuel! Thank you! Very happy to read that you feel your game has improved with Tour Sniper!

Great string

Very slick

Big fan of M8, did not like this string so much in my pure strike 18x20. I did not have very much control (no bite) and maybe the stringed was too slick? I also only kept it in for the first session, so I could have given it more time. Worth trying for sure with more open string bed.

Thank you for giving us your impressions, Jason.

Control String Unlock

Recently purchased a Yonex VCore 95(2023) and had the full string bed equipped with the Tour Sniper. I’m definitely able to generate my own pace and this has given me a fresh spin(no pun intended) on my game. Brings the wicked lift that can come from the VCore under control. Definitely will be using this string for the foreseeable future. Good job guys.

Thank you, Demetrius!
