$9.99
Following on the heels of G Tour 1, Gosen releases one of the most comfortable co-polys on the market. It's called G Tour 3 and it is ideal for the player who wants a comfortable control string. With its low-powered response, G Tour 3 will enable you to take massive cuts at the ball when going for more power and spin.

Slightly stiff after initial stringing, but settles down nicely with soft touch and controllable power.

I used to play with Gosen Sidewinder 17g for years. After I played this string for 3 times, I switched and never looked back.

Awesome string with great ball catch/holding feel. It has amazing durability while providing tons of power, spin and feel at the same time.
