Dunlop S-Gut 16G Black Reel Tennis String

The Dunlop S-Gut 16G Black is a high-performance synthetic gut string designed to provide a classic, balanced feel with an emphasis on durability. As a 16-gauge string, it is thicker than its 17G counterpart, making it a reliable "workhorse" for players who want a consistent response and a string that can withstand heavy use.

Performance Profile

1. Enhanced Durability: The 16G (1.32 mm) thickness provides a larger wear surface, making it significantly more resistant to notched fraying and breakage than thinner gauges.
2. Solid & Crisp Feel: Built with a high-tenacity monofilament core wrapped in a single layer of elastic filaments, it offers a crisper, more direct feedback than soft multifilaments.
3. All-Round Playability: It provides a predictable balance of power and control. It doesn't "over-spring" like some thinner strings, giving you a very stable string bed for flatter shots and volleys.
4. Sleek Aesthetics: The deep black color offers a modern, professional look that complements almost any racquet frame color.

Best Suited For

1. Frequent Hitters: Ideal for recreational and club players who want a long-lasting string that won't break prematurely during intense rallies.
2. Value-Conscious Players: Since it is available in a 200m reel, it is one of the most cost-effective ways to maintain a fresh, high-quality string bed.
3. Hybrid Cross String: A popular choice for the cross strings in a hybrid setup. It is smooth enough to allow a polyester main string to slide for spin, while providing a more comfortable overall feel than a full bed of poly.
4. All-Court Generalists: Perfect for players who play a variety of shots and need a string that performs reliably in all areas of the court.
