Tour Sniper
The king of control rules with insane durability and longevity. Beckett’s string of choice for several years, Tour Sniper is easily one of my favourite tennis strings of all time.

Tour Sniper might be the most control-oriented shaped string on the market, offering the directional control of a round string while giving you some extra ball-bite due to its 5-sided, pentagonal construction. It comes partially pre-streched to also minimize the significant initial tension loss normally associated with crisp, tour level strings like ALU Power and Tour Bite.
Tour Sniper was engineered to match or exceed the playing attributes of competitors like Luxilon Alu Power, Solinco Tour Bite, and Kirschbaum Max Power.
Technical information:
Material: Polyester
Shape: Pentagonal
Colour: Silver
Weight: 21g for a 40ft set in 1.25mm.
Beckett’s Recommendations:
Tension: Your usual poly tension.
Experiment: Try a poly-poly hybrid!
Hybrid: Use Sniper as your main string and pair it with ReString Sync in the crosses. We’ve found this to increase the longevity of the stringbed while enhancing power and spin without reducing control or feel.
