Dunlop S-Gut 16G Blue Tennis String

The Dunlop S-Gut 16G in Blue is a versatile synthetic gut string designed to offer a balanced, all-around performance with a focus on durability and classic feel. As a 16-gauge (1.32mm) string, it provides a sturdier and more controlled response than thinner versions, making it a reliable choice for players who want a consistent stringbed that lasts.

Performance Profile

1. All-Around Playability: The solid core construction ensures a predictable and stable response across the entire stringbed. It is a true "jack-of-all-trades" string, performing well for baseline hitting, net play, and serves.
2. Solid Durability: The 16G thickness is the standard for durability in synthetic gut. It resists the "notching" that leads to premature breakage, making it an excellent value for players who hit a heavy ball or play frequently.
3. Comfortable Feel: While it is firmer than a high-end multifilament, it is significantly more arm-friendly than any polyester string. It provides a comfortable, dampening effect that helps reduce the risk of arm fatigue.
4. Consistent Power: It offers a reliable level of "free power." Players with moderate swing speeds will find it easy to generate depth and pace without over-swinging.

Best Suited For

1. Club and Recreational Players: Those who need a dependable, budget-friendly string that "does everything well."
2. Frequent String Breakers (Non-Poly): If you enjoy the feel of synthetic gut but snap 17G strings too quickly, the 16G offers the extra longevity you need.
3. Hybrid Users: This is a very popular choice for the cross strings in a hybrid setup. It helps soften the feel of a stiff polyester main string while adding a vibrant blue aesthetic to your racquet.
