Where to buy
What players say
Mosquito Bite has no video reviews or forum threads; the main record is a long-running string of Tennis Warehouse customer reviews going back over a decade. Players split sharply: some call it their most comfortable, controllable poly with real spin and bite, while others report significant arm, shoulder, or wrist pain and low durability.
Best for
- Players wanting spin and bite from a thin co-poly
- Players who tolerate stiffer polys and want extra control
- Hybrid mains paired with a softer cross
Pros
- Several long-time users call it unusually comfortable and controllable for a polyester
- Good spin and bite reported even strung in the low-to-mid 50s lb range
- Some reviewers found tension held well over weeks of play
- Praised in a hybrid setup for bite and control alongside a softer cross string
Cons
- Multiple reviewers report arm, shoulder, or wrist pain and call it stiff or harsh
- Durability is inconsistent: some call it very low, others call it durable for the gauge
- A few players found power very low, needing to drop tension well below normal to compensate
- No current video, Reddit, or forum coverage exists, so the sample is small and old
