Volkl Cyclone Tour Tennis String

While standard polyester strings are known for being stiff and potentially harsh on the arm, the Cyclone Tour uses a twisted co-polymer construction to offer a softer, more dampened feel. It delivers the spin and control benefits of a poly string without the typical discomfort.

Yes, this string is specifically engineered to be more arm-friendly than traditional polyester options. However, if you have a history of severe tennis elbow, it is always best to consult with a coach or medical professional about your specific setup.

The twisted, gear-like shape of the string bites into the ball effectively, providing excellent spin potential. It is a great choice if you rely on heavy topspin to keep your shots deep and controlled.

The 17-gauge (1.25mm) provides a nice balance between playability and durability. While it is slightly thinner than a 16-gauge string—which may lead to faster breakage for heavy hitters—it offers a more responsive, dynamic feel on the court.

This string is ideal for intermediate to advanced players who want the control and spin of a polyester string but prefer a more comfortable, less jarring impact. It is particularly effective for aggressive baseliners who want to dictate points.
