Dunlop S-Gut 17G Black Tennis String

The Dunlop S-Gut 17G in Black is a high-performance Synthetic Gut that balances a traditional feel with a modern, stealthy aesthetic. The 17-gauge construction makes it thinner and more "active" than the standard 16G, offering a noticeable boost in playability and ball feedback.

Performance Profile

1. Lively Feel: Because the 1.27mm diameter is thinner, the string is more elastic. This results in better ball pocketing, giving you a more connected sensation when the ball strikes the stringbed.
2. Crisp Power: The solid core construction provides a crisp "snap" at impact. It offers easy access to depth, making it ideal for players who want a little extra help generating pace on their groundstrokes.
3. Enhanced Comfort: As a synthetic gut, it is much softer than polyester. It does an excellent job of absorbing shock, providing a smooth hitting experience that is easy on the tendons and joints.
4. Sleek Aesthetic: The deep black color provides a professional, modern look that pairs well with almost any racquet frame.

Best Suited For

1. All-Court Recreational Players: Those who want a reliable, cost-effective string that handles volleys, serves, and groundstrokes with equal competence.
2. Junior and Intermediate Players: Excellent for developing players who need a mix of comfort and power without the stiffness of a "pro-level" polyester.
3. Hybrid Setups: A fantastic choice for the cross strings in a hybrid setup. Pairing this with a polyester main string creates a comfortable, high-performance stringbed with a sleek black-on-black or high-contrast look.
