Tourna Big Hitter Rough

The textured surface of this string is designed to grab the ball upon impact, which increases the amount of friction and rotation you can generate. This makes it easier to hit heavy topspin shots and control the ball's trajectory, especially from the baseline.

While it is a polyester-based string, it is engineered with a polyether material specifically to provide a softer feel than traditional stiff polys. It is a great option if you want the performance benefits of a co-poly but need more comfort, though players with chronic arm issues should always test strings carefully.

Yes, durability is one of its primary strengths. The co-poly construction is designed to withstand the friction and stress of heavy hitting, making it a reliable choice for players who break strings frequently.

The main difference is the balance of comfort and performance. Standard polyester strings are often very stiff and can feel harsh, whereas this string uses advanced polyether materials to dampen that harshness while still maintaining the spin and control that aggressive players demand.

It works well in both configurations. Using it in a full bed will maximize the spin and control benefits, while pairing it with a softer synthetic gut or multifilament in a hybrid setup can further enhance comfort and power.
