The Dunlop S-Gut 17G in White is a classic synthetic gut string that offers a clean, traditional look paired with a responsive and lively feel. The 17-gauge (1.27mm) construction is thinner than the standard 16G, which prioritizes playability and ball feedback over pure durability.
Performance Profile
- Lively Response: The thinner diameter allows for more string stretch and "snap-back" during impact. This translates to higher energy return and easier access to power, making it simpler to generate depth on groundstrokes.
- Enhanced Ball Pocketing: Because the 17G gauge is more elastic, the ball sinks deeper into the stringbed. This provides a "connected" sensation, giving you excellent touch for volleys and precision for placement.
- Arm-Friendly Comfort: It is significantly softer than polyester strings. It excels at absorbing shock and dampening vibrations, providing a plush hitting experience that is gentle on the elbow and shoulder.
- Crisp Feel: While it is comfortable, the solid core construction ensures the string doesn't feel "mushy." It provides a crisp, clear sound and feel at contact.
Best Suited For
- Club and Recreational Players: Those looking for a dependable, high-quality string that offers a great balance of comfort and "pop" at an affordable price.
- Players with Lower Swing Speeds: The added elasticity of the 17G gauge helps generate the pace and depth that may be harder to achieve with thicker or stiffer strings.
- Hybrid Crosses: A perfect candidate for the cross strings in a hybrid setup. Pairing this white S-Gut with a colored polyester main string creates a classic, high-contrast look while softening the overall feel of the racquet.
