Tour Mako in its original form is one of the more comfort-oriented options from Grapplesnake, featuring a plush sensation throughout contact while still remaining stable at higher levels of play. Tour Mako Short Fin, however, is a shaped string featuring a six-sided profile compared to the regular round Mako. To fashion a more performance-first string, Tour Mako and Tour Mako Short Fin combine the makeup of Tour M8 with with unique material additives. As such, Tour Mako Short Fin offers a scintillating mix of comfort and feel. Although the string's profile is similar to that of Alpha and Tour Sniper, the feel is markedly different, offering softness not always seen in the polyester realm. All in all, this string features some of the best all-around performance we've seen from Grapplesnake, rivaling Tour M8 with its accessible and playable nature. Although not as prone to snapping back to its original position as the round version of the string, Tour Mako Short Fin has impressive snapback given its profile, which helps with facilitating more spin. Beyond that, its relative ability to grip the ball only increases with how the string's edges bite into the ball itself, further increasing the amount of spin imparted on the ball. Tour Mako Short Fin comes in a subtle cream color in a 1.25 mm option .
