GrappleSnake Tour M8 200m Reel (1.25 / 1.30)

Tour M8 is GrappleSnake’s octagonal control poly, offered here in a full 200m reel for frequent restringers and stringers. Its defining qualities are stability, predictable launch and unusually strong tension maintenance for a performance polyester.

Performance profile

The eight-sided geometry adds measured ball grip while keeping the response controlled and linear. Tour M8 is designed for players who already create their own racquet-head speed and want the stringbed to stay composed through heavy contact.

What it feels like

Crisp, connected and stable, with more pocketing than its control-first positioning might suggest. It is not a power string; the value is in repeatability, directional confidence and a response that remains consistent deeper into the string’s playing life.

Best suited to

• Frequent restringers already familiar with Tour M8.
• Heavy hitters looking for control without an excessively harsh response.
• Players prioritising tension stability and predictable launch.
• Stringers who need a versatile control reel in 1.25mm or 1.30mm.

Setup guidance

Start around your normal polyester tension. Use 1.25mm for the more responsive option; 1.30mm makes sense where durability and a more substantial stringbed are the priority.
