Repulsion (Power) & Average modulus (Stiffness)
Tested by Gosen Co., Ltd.
CONCEPT
String development has been focused on ball speed,spin etc before ball bouncing on the court, but Gosen thought that the power and spin after ball bouncing is also important which makes opponent stand a few steps back from his original position.
In pursuit of powerful bounce speed to secure victory.
GOSEN has been pursuing speed (initial speed) and power in tennis strings to increase the bouncing distance and spinning velocity of the ball helping players to secure a path to victory.
G-TOUR1 satisfies all of these performance requirements.
Ultimate Power is still kept after bouncing the ball.
Too fast! Too sharp! Too high bouncing!
G-TOUR 1 creates ultimate Power and Spin performance after bouncing the ball.
DEMONSTRATION DATA
Demonstration result by high-speed camera
GOSEN tested the G-TOUR 1 by high-speed camera in order to prove the Power as well as Spin potential.
- Percentage of keeping the ball speed before and after bouncing the ball
- approx.105%
- (Comparison before and after bouncing the ball speed as 0.1 second.)
- Spin potential
- approx.105%
- Jumping height of the ball after bounding on court ÷ Ball speed before and after bounding the ball on court.
(Comparison before and after bounding the ball on court as 0.2 second.)
MATERIAL
HPP-POLYESTER
High Purity Polymer Polyester
GOSEN finely blended the high purity polymer for the power players who swing fast to maximize the initial velocity and power to pierce at the baseline of the opponent’s court.
PROPERTY EVALUATION
G-tour 1 also cleared basic performance essential for strings.

ON COURT PLAYEST
Mr. Kaichi Uchida
- JTA ranking / Singles 14-ranking (May 2nd 2016)
- JTA ranking / Doubles 2-ranking (May 2nd 2016)
- Compared with “POLYBREAK 16”
- Easy to hit the spin ball with good placement on the court end. Would like to recommend to the power players.
Mr. Katumi Nagao
- JTA ranking / Singles 26-ranking (May 2nd 2016)
- JTA ranking / Doubles 10-ranking (May 2nd 2016)
- Compared with “POLY PROFESSIONAL 16”
- Spin performance and ball biting are superb. Would like to recommend to the aggressive players smashing the ball with power.
