Tourna Big Hitter Rough Reel

The sharp edges of the five-sided construction bite into the ball upon impact, creating more friction and grip. This allows you to generate significantly more rotation on the ball compared to standard round strings.

While it is a polyester string, it is engineered with a specialized blend that feels softer than traditional, rigid polys. It offers a crisp response without the harsh vibration often associated with high-performance strings.

The 18-gauge offers excellent feel and spin, but it is thinner than standard gauges. If you are a frequent string breaker, you may find that it wears down faster than a thicker 16 or 17-gauge string.

Yes, it works well in a hybrid setup. Many players pair it with a synthetic gut or multifilament in the crosses to soften the overall feel while maintaining the spin potential of the Big Hitter Rough in the mains.

This string is best suited for intermediate to advanced players with long, fast swing speeds. It is designed to provide the control and durability needed for aggressive, competitive play.

This reel contains 660 feet (200 meters) of string. This is enough to string approximately 16 to 18 racquets, depending on your racquet head size and stringing pattern.
