Tourna Zone

The 18-gauge (1.20mm) thickness is thinner than standard strings, which allows the string to bite into the ball more effectively. This results in easier access to pace and increased spin, though it does mean the string will break faster than a thicker gauge.

While co-polyester strings are generally firm, Tourna Zone is designed to offer above-average comfort for its category. It provides a crisp, firm feel that is responsive without being overly harsh on the arm.

This string is best suited for aggressive players who take full, fast swings at the ball. If you rely on precision and heavy spin to control the court, the snap-back properties of this string will be a significant asset to your game.

Yes, the slick surface of the string is specifically engineered to promote snap-back. This movement allows the strings to slide and return to position rapidly, which helps impart more rotation on the ball.

Because it is a thinner 18-gauge string, it will not last as long as a thicker 16 or 17-gauge option. You are trading some longevity for the enhanced feel, spin, and ball bite that this thinner profile provides.
