Tour Sniper - Set
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.

I ordered tour sniper because of all the good things I heard about it and so far its living up to my expectations. I use it with a blade v9 at 54 lbs tension in the full bed. Its comfortable and provides me with plenty of access to spin while maintaining control. It has a bit less ball pocketing than I’d like but its well worth it for all the positives this string provides me.
Thank you, Jason.
This was my first string from Grapplesnake that I tried. I was very impressed with this string. While, it may not be the most powerful string, it is so predictable when you want to put the ball where you want it. It also absorbs pace extremely well. Great spin, and I definitely didn’t find it harsh on the arm. I would recommend this to anyone 4.0 and above.
Jesse. Thanks again for your review. You have described Tour Sniper well, and I am happy you liked it!
good strings! great spin, soft enough!
Very happy you like them, Nikita!
This was a dandy. Used as a cross in my Pure Strike 97. Instantly my shot accuracy increased when targeting corners. I was also able to target the baseline more efficiently when using top spin. This was a joy to play with. I would say off of first play this was better than my favorite control string due to the added pop (Restring Sync). Looking to get a reel of Sniper if that goes on sale in the future.
Very happy to read this. Thank you. Shamsu!
Best control string I've tried by far. Excellent feel, comfort, spin and control. Feel very confident in going for winners but also has nice depth for rally and defensive shots. I've tried a ton of strings! Only problem is there isn't quite enough string to do 2 18x20 mains. I used Ghostwire as the cross at 55/52 on TF40 18x20. Had to manually tension the final two mains on my drop weight machine due to lack of string. Toroline is the only string brand that gives enough string for this really but I don't like the way their strings feel and play. Please add another 6 inches or so per set and it would work perfectly for me. Fantastic string!
Casey! Very happy that you like it! Each string actually comes with a little over a foot and a half extra from what is stated in the package. In your specific case, yes, you could use even more for two 18 mains, but let me recommend you getting and using a starting clamp for that last pull. It's a common practice in this scenario. You can wrap a scrap section of string around the clamp, and then bite your last main to the clamp, therefore extending everything, hope this makes sense, you can look it up on Google or YouTube. Thanks!
