Babolat Pro Hurricane Tour
5/5
These strings provided exceptional spin and control. Considering how much spin I use, these strings lasted a fairly long time before they eventually broke (about 6 months). I highly recommend these strings to anyone who wants that extra bite on there ball.

I usually use black code 16g strings in a full bed. For X-mas I received these strings and strung them in my APD GT. Initially, I thought the strings were stiff and I strung them at 55lbs. Same tension as I string the black code. After two hitting sessions the string bed softened up nicely. I feel the strings offer a little more control than the Black Code, but are a little stiffer.

Babolat Pro Hurricane Tour 16 G
5/5
These strings are very durable. They are firm, but not stiff and still have plenty of feel. I string them at 60 lbs, have plenty of power and just the right amount of touch when needed. I play an average of 6 sets a week plus I hit the ball machine once a week and they will not lose tension and last 3 months before I pop a string. I have played with the new Babolat strings and the Luxilon alu spin/power - these are the ones I have settled on.

1/5
Hard as a rock, feels like you're hitting a frying pan against a tank.
May break or stretch out, but I didn't use my racquet long enough to find out. If any pros use this string they really are talented because I can't see how they can volley or have any elbow, shoulder or wrists left after hitting with this.
Of course this is only my opinion and I could be wrong.

4/5
So I recently had my racket strung with Babolat hurricane string. I must say that so far so good. I personally dont care for the yellow color but other than that it seems to be working rather well. My strokes have a little more topspin allowing me to hit harder and with more margin for error. Well done!

Hurricane Tour 16 G Strings
5/5
I am a 4.0 player and hit the ball with power and spin, string my raquet at 61 lbs and play 2-3 times/week. For a while I was going through strings every 3 weeks until I came across these. I then began using the luxilon alu spin which were very durable but seemed too stiff and not much feel. I then used these hurricane tour strings which are durable and have enough power and feel for me - now I replace my strings about ever 2-3 months and I do not feel the strings lose their tension as I have before with synthetic or gut. My pocketbook is happier too.

5/5
I recently purchased Babolat Pro Hurricane and N.VY sets separately in order to compose my own hybrid combo. The octagonal Pro Hurricane mains give me power and lots of noticeable spin increase from the traditional round Hurricane and the N.VY provides the comfort, feel and durability. This combo is awesome. Opponents are commenting on excessive spin along with the ongoing frustrations around lefty voodoo.

I have been stringing with Babolat hybrids for some time. Combined with N.VY string this Pro Hurricane Tour string is a perfect partner for main strings in my hybrid brew. Pro Hurricane Tour provides the power spin combo to pummel from the baseline or break wills with a spinning dropper. Great string great price!
