Solinco Revolution Tennis String 17g Set

The Solinco Revolution 17G (1.20mm) is a high-performance co-polyester designed for players who prioritize maximum control and a crisp, firm feel. While the Hyper-G and Tour Bite series often dominate the conversation, Revolution is the "hidden gem" for those who want a very direct and traditional polyester response.

Performance Profile

1. Supreme Control: This is one of the lower-powered strings in the Solinco lineup. It is designed to be "dead" in a way that allows big hitters to swing at 100% intensity without the ball flying long.
2. Hexagonal Spin: Unlike the 4-sided Hyper-G, Revolution features a 6-sided (hexagonal) shape. These edges are designed to grab the ball’s felt, providing a high level of spin and a very predictable launch angle.
3. Crisp Feedback: Revolution is known for its "stiff" and "clean" feel. There is very little dampening, meaning you get instant, raw feedback from the string bed. You will know exactly where you hit the ball on the racquet.
4. Tension Stability: Because of its firmer composition, it holds its tension remarkably well for a polyester, ensuring that the "out-of-the-box" feel lasts through several high-intensity hitting sessions.

Best Suited For

1. Hard-Hitting Competitors: Players who have long, fast strokes and generate their own power. If you find yourself over-hitting with "softer" polys, Revolution will help keep the ball in play.
2. Flat & Spin Combination Hitters: The hexagonal shape provides enough spin for safety, but the string’s low power is excellent for players who like to drive through the ball flatly.
3. Players Who Prefer "Traditional" Poly: If you liked the feel of early-generation polyesters (like the original Luxilon 4G or Kirschbaum Super Smash) but want modern tension maintenance, this is a perfect fit.
4. Hybrid Setups: The 17G gauge makes it a fantastic "Main" string in a hybrid setup when paired with a softer multifilament cross, as the hexagonal edges provide the spin while the cross-string adds comfort.
