Wilson Natural Gut 17G Tennis String – Natural

The Wilson Natural Gut 17G (1.25 mm) Natural is the undisputed peak of tennis string technology, performance, and comfort. Crafted from premium organic beef serosa, natural gut provides unparalleled elasticity, tension maintenance, and feel.

The thinner 17-gauge (1.25 mm) version elevates performance even further, maximizing touch, power, and spin potential compared to traditional 16-gauge natural gut.

Performance Profile

1. Unmatched Energy Return & Power: Offers superior elasticity over any synthetic string, returning maximum kinetic energy to the ball with minimal physical effort.
2. Supreme Arm Comfort & Shock Absorption: Natural gut fibers buffer joint-jarring impact vibrations better than all other string materials, making it the top recommendation for players managing arm injuries or joint strain.
3. Precision Touch & Pocketing: The thin 1.25 mm diameter bites deeply into the ball, delivering extraordinary tactile feedback for drop shots, volleys, and delicate touch plays.
4. Flawless Tension Maintenance: Maintains target reference tension significantly longer than co-polyester or synthetic gut, retaining its playable feel until break.
5. Tour-Proven Hybrid Pairing: Frequently strung in modern hybrid setups (paired in the mains or crosses with stiff co-polyester strings like Luxilon ALU Power or 4G) to balance spin, control, and durability with maximum comfort.

Best Suited For

1. Tour & Competitive Players: Ideal for serious athletes looking for elite playability, ball feel, and ultimate power return.
2. Players with Arm Injuries or Tennis Elbow: The premier choice for players recovering from wrist, elbow, or shoulder issues who require the absolute softest string bed available.
3. Hybrid Stringers: Essential main or cross string for players seeking the ultimate power-and-control combination when paired with a polyester string.
