Tour Bite 16L

polyesterGauge 16L1.25mm

Solinco Tour Bite 16L has established itself as one of the premier spin polyesters on the market, rivaling Babolat RPM Blast at a significantly lower price point. The sharply angular cross-section geometry creates aggressive ball bite that generates high-RPM topspin, while the co-polymer blend delivers slightly more durability than comparable spin-focused polyesters. At $15 per set, Tour Bite is the best-value premium polyester in our database — delivering 9.2/10 spin performance for players who would otherwise spend significantly more on competing options. Used across the ATP and WTA Challenger circuits, it's proven at every competitive level below the very top of the game.
