Just got done hitting with this string at 45 lbs in my Pro Staff 97 as recommended by Troy and Chris. Wow! It felt crisp as Troy said, but yet has tons of control and loads of spin. What shocks me is that it feels so comfortable, if I didn't know I would think I was hitting with a multi. Could've been the low tension, as this is the first time I've ever strung it this low. So easy to take full cuts at the ball, loads of spin to keep it in, and super comfortable on the arm.
So which one would be better the tour bite or big hitter? What about tension maintenance and playability compared to tour bite and also how would this compare to rpm blast?
This string and Tour Bite are very similar, playability, and tension maintenance. RPM Blast feels slightly softer, when it is fresh, but it loses its tension rather quickly. Give this one a try, see what you think. Troy, TW
Thanks! Yes, the comfort is pretty good with these Yonex shoes, and I find the fit a little better with these Fusion Rev 3's, than I found with the Eclipsion 2's. That said, I liked the underfoot cushioning a bit better with the Eclipsion 2's. Troy, TW
@Tennis Warehouse : Hello Troy! Nice review as always! How does this compare in terms of control and feel to the Signum Pro Poly Plasma? I know the spin is better with S7T but anything else lacking with the Poly Plasma? Thank you!
Thanks for a great review TennisWarehouse! I was wondering what tension you would recommend using the 17g version of this string on a Head Gravity Pro.
The tension has a lot to do with personal preference, but maybe somewhere around 52 pounds. Some of our testers would go lower, like 48 pounds, and some a bit tighter around 55. Troy, TW
This one is stiffer, and bites the ball more for spin, and we also found better tension maintenance. The Big Hitter Silver feels a bit softer, and a bit more comfortable. Troy, TW
Great review! Troy, your string reviews and recommendations have always been spot on, at least for me. Quick question - how does this string compare with the Tecnifibre Black Code 4S? Their tension maintenance seem to be similar...
Thank you for the feedback, and glad to help. The tension maintenance is just as good as Black Code 4S, if not a bit better. That said, the closest string I could draw comparisons to is Tour Bite, and I find this string and Tour Bite to feel a bit more firm, and crisp compared to Black Code 4S. I would have to give the edge in comfort to the Black Code 4S, and spin potential is great with all three strings. Troy, TW
Pretty similar overall. If you are used to Tour Bite, then you might want to stick with it. If you like to experiment, and are intrigued by the slightly cheaper price point, give this string a try. Troy, TW
This one will likely feel a bit more firm compared to the Blue Rough, so if you liked that string at 53 you might consider dropping a pound or two with Silver 7 Tour. Troy, TW
This one feels stiffer, and crisper. It maintains playability very well over time, holds tension well. It also offers more spin with its shaped profile. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse would you say that the big hitter black 7 will have the same comfort and feel but more spin compared to the regular big hittet silver? I really like the regular big hitter silver, just trying to figure out what string to get incase they stop production of it.
We tested both gauges throughout the testing period. I had a slight preference for the 1.25mm, and Chris usually goes 1.30mm for max control and deader feel. Troy, TW
You can use this string in a hybrid with whatever string you would like to. However, being that it does have sharp edges, we probably wouldn't recommend it in a hybrid with a softer string material, such as a multifilament or natural gut. Some players like to experiment with a hybrid of two different co-poly string, so in that case it could be worth a try, with like a softer smoother co-poly. Troy, TW
Hi there ! How would you compare compare this string to the signum pro xperienced ( the green one ) in term of access to topspin, confort and playability ! Wich one do you like best between both ?
This one feels more firm and crisp. The Signum Pro X-Perience feels more comfortable, and softer in comparison. Both are great options and offer easy access to spin, but if you seek a more comfortable feeling co-poly then go with the X-Perience, If you want a more firm/crisp feeling string, Silver 7 Tour is a good choice. Troy, TW
Thanks! Hyper-G feels a bit softer, and seems to pocket the ball a bit better, or longer. This Silver 7 Tour plays very closely to Solinco Tour Bite. Troy, TW
As I mentioned in this video the Silver 7 Tour is pretty close to Tour Bite. Compared to Revolution it is a bit more firm, and a bit more control oriented. It also holds tension better, but Revolution is a bit softer, and more powerful. Troy, TW
This one is stiffer, crisper, more spin friendly, and holds tension better. The Blue is a bit softer, and more lively, and the Rough feels slightly softer, and more spin friendly compared to the Blue, but not as much as the Silver 7 Tour. Troy, TW
It is not on our current list of reviews, but we will keep it in mind. We have played with it extensively, and can answer any particular questions you have on it. Troy, TW
This one is shaped, with 7 sides, and plays quite a bit stiffer compared to those two. The Big Hitter Silver is smooth/round profile, and the Silver Rough has a rough surface with little dimples on it. Troy, TW
This one is stiffer, and holds tension better than both of those strings. Spin potential is good, maybe not quite as much bite as Ultra Cable, but fairly close. The closest string I found it to was Solinco Tour Bite, as it is pretty firm and crisp feeling. Troy, TW
I'm currently looking for a less pricey and more spin friendly 4G. Would you say that is what this string is? Would you recommend to change tension compared to the 4G setup(55lbs)? (PS97 V13) Thanks guys!
ha ha! Yep, we noticed that in editing but it was too late :( Still, a great string to try in YOUR racquet if you are looking for tons of control. Holds tension great, too. Cheers! Chris, TW.
It is a shaped co-poly with 7 sharp edges. I believe it may have some different additives compared to the Big Hitter Silver, as it plays more firm, and has some of the best tension maintenance for a co-poly. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse So the great tension maintenance ratings - are they consistent between the 16g and the 17g comparatively excellent respective to other 16g, or 17g poly strings?
Hi, I'm looking for a string with more durability. Is this a good opition? I tried Gamma Moto 1.25 and it lasted only 4 days, so sad about that. I'm using a Prince Tour Esp 16x16.
You should probably go thicker with the string, instead of 1.25 go with a 16 gauge 1.30, or possible consider strings like Solinco Hyper-G or Tour Bite 15L (1.35). Also it seem like you have been using shaped polys so you could try going to a round shaped poly and go with a 1.30mm. I am a fan of Hyper-G, so I would go with the 15L 1.35mm and see how long that lasts for you. Troy, TW

Hi TennisWarehouse, Spin numbers for this string are missing from the Compare Strings Tool

tennis express is like dollar tree quality review and tennis warehouse is like target
GOOD REVIEW TW!!
Tried it out today. Love it! 57/55 pound ProKennex KI 5. Better than RPM Blast. Softer, more Touch and feel and way more Spin.
Awesome! Good to hear! Think this is one of those strings that flies under the radar but is awesome and a great value!
Michelle, TW
Nice shinny shoes, Troy.
Love me Yonexes too. No heel pain since I start wearing them, on clay.

You mentioned comparison to Tour Bite. Any differences? Would you stay with Tour Bite or switch to Silver 7?
Pretty similar overall. If you are used to Tour Bite, then you might want to stick with it. If you like to experiment, and are intrigued by the slightly cheaper price point, give this string a try. Troy, TW
Did you guys have any difficulty stringing this string? On the forums, a lot of people had the string snap on them.
No, I strung it multiple times, on a couple different machines, and I didn't have any issues with it. Troy, TW
What tension do you recommend for my vcore 98 2021? I used tourna blue rough 1.25 at 53 pounds
This one will likely feel a bit more firm compared to the Blue Rough, so if you liked that string at 53 you might consider dropping a pound or two with Silver 7 Tour. Troy, TW
How would the tension maintenance of this string compare to Hyper G?
Just as good, if not slightly better, but it is also stiffer. Very similar to Tour Bite. Troy, TW
Thanks Troy! I appreciate the reply.
Hi TW fam!
How is this compared to the regular tourna big hitter silver when it comes to feel and playability?

Thanks! Hyper-G feels a bit softer, and seems to pocket the ball a bit better, or longer. This Silver 7 Tour plays very closely to Solinco Tour Bite. Troy, TW
Hi Tennis Warehouse, how would you compare Silver 7 Tour to Solinco Revolution? Thank you!

Hello TW.
How's this string compared with Big Hitter Blue ?
Can you guys review the Blue and Blue rough too ? Thanks !
This one is stiffer, crisper, more spin friendly, and holds tension better. The Blue is a bit softer, and more lively, and the Rough feels slightly softer, and more spin friendly compared to the Blue, but not as much as the Silver 7 Tour. Troy, TW
Better tension maintenance then Big Hitter Black 7?
I'd think so. Pretty cheap string so wouldn't kill the wallet to try a set or 2.
Yes, we found the tension maintenance to be a bit better than Black 7, but it is also a bit stiffer. Troy, TW
Hi ! How would the stiffness and spin potentiel compare with Pro Hurricane Tour ? I'm considering the switch
Both are on the stiffer side of the spectrum for polys, and I would give the edge in spin to this Silver 7 Tour. Troy, TW
Hey tennis warehouse! Could you guys review Touna Grit? I'd like to hear the teams thoughts.
It is not on our current list of reviews, but we will keep it in mind. We have played with it extensively, and can answer any particular questions you have on it. Troy, TW

What tension would you suggest for Head IG Radical Pro? for 17gauge version
It is personal preference, but we would probably go somewhere around 50 to 52 pounds. Troy, TW
Can You compare this string with weiss cannon silverstring or ultra cable?

I would like to try this string in my Clash 100, what tension do you recommended?

I'm not sure what string tension I should get for my Head Graphene 360 speed pro. Any recomendations?
We would go somewhere around 50 pounds with this string, on that racquet. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse thank you
What do you think 17g 45/43 on my TF40? Right now I am using 17g ice code 50/50, want some more spin and snapback!
Yeah that sounds pretty good. You could probably go up a pound or two from 45/43, but it has a lot to do with preference. Troy, TW
Tennis Warehouse thanks! Troy. Can’t wait to try it😎
Hi, what tension would you recommend for my Clash 100? (currently playing with 4G with 53lb/51lb)
If you like that tension with 4G, then I would likely try it on this string, as it is a firm poly as well. Troy, TW
How's this string compared with Big Hitter Black 7 gauge 17 ?
This one is a bit stiffer, and holds tension even better than Black 7. Troy, TW
2:10 playtesting the racquet eh Chris?

is this a shaped version of the silver string tourna offers?
