Dunlop S-Gut 16G Black Tennis String

The Dunlop S-Gut 16G in Black is a versatile synthetic gut string that emphasizes durability, consistent control, and a sleek, modern look. As a 16-gauge (1.32mm) string, it is the standard choice for players who want a reliable "all-rounder" that provides a more solid feel and longer lifespan than thinner 17G versions.

Performance Profile

1. Solid Durability: The 16G thickness is designed to withstand the friction and notched wear of regular play. It is an excellent choice for players who find themselves breaking thinner synthetic gut strings too frequently.
2. Predictable Control: Because the stringbed is slightly firmer than the 17G version, it offers a very stable and linear response. This gives you more confidence when swinging out, as the ball is less likely to "trampoline" or fly long.
3. Comfortable Impact: Despite its solid construction, it remains much softer and more arm-friendly than polyester. It absorbs shock well, making it a safe choice for recreational players or those prone to arm fatigue.
4. Versatile Stealth Look: The deep black finish gives your racquet a professional, high-end appearance that coordinates well with any frame color.

Best Suited For

1. All-Court Recreational Players: Those who want a dependable, cost-effective string that performs consistently from the baseline and at the net.
2. Frequent Hitters: Players who play several times a week and need a string that maintains its tension and integrity over time.
3. Hybrid "Cross" String: A very popular option for the cross strings in a hybrid setup. When paired with a polyester "main" string, this 16G black S-Gut helps soften the feel while maintaining a uniform, stealthy aesthetic.
