Tour Bite Diamond Rough 16 (1.30)

Polyester Gauge 16 1.30 mm In production

Lab measurements for Solinco Tour Bite Diamond Rough 16 (1.30), ranked against all 789 strings in the database. Every figure below is a testing-machine result at a fixed reference tension, not a playtest opinion.

Measured values

Stiffness

193lb/in

lower = softer, kinder on the arm

Tension loss

52%

lower = stays where you strung it

Energy return

82%

higher = livelier, more free power

Spin potential

4.9

higher = more spin off the string bed

Ball bite

0.540COF

higher = grabs the ball harder

Snapback

0.111COF

lower = strings slide and snap back

How it ranks against all 789 strings

Stiffness 193 lb/in · 60th pct

Stiffer than 60% of strings tested.

Tension loss 52 % · 92nd pct

Sheds more tension than 92% of strings tested — goes dead fast, expect frequent restringing.

Energy return 82 % · 7th pct

Livelier than 7% of strings tested — very muted and low-powered.

Spin potential 4.9 · 54th pct

More spin potential than 54% of strings tested.

Ball bite 0.540 COF · 88th pct

Grips the ball harder than 88% of strings tested.

Snapback 0.111 COF · 77th pct

More string-on-string friction than 77% of strings tested.

What these numbers mean

Stiffness · lb/in

How much the string bed resists deflection. Higher plays firmer and more controlled; lower plays softer and easier on the arm.

Tension loss · %

Share of the reference tension the string sheds under a fixed test protocol. Lower means the bed stays where you strung it for longer.

Energy return · %

Share of impact energy handed back to the ball. Higher plays livelier and more powerful.

Spin potential

Ball friction divided by string-on-string friction. Higher means better bite with a cleaner snapback, so more spin.

Ball bite · COF

String-on-ball friction. Higher grabs the ball harder through the brush.

Snapback · COF

String-on-string friction. Lower lets the mains slide and snap back into place after impact.
