The Wilson NXT Control 16G (1.32 mm) Natural is an advanced multifilament string designed for players seeking the comfort and shock absorption of NXT with enhanced directional control, string-bed firmess, and durability.
By integrating stiff internal polyester/nylon fiber ribbons into the traditional flexible polyurethane (PU) matrix, Wilson created a unique "hybrid-in-a-string" feel that bridges the gap between classic multifilament comfort and co-polyester control.
Performance Profile
- Enhanced Control & Predictability: The inclusion of internal polyester ribbons stiffens the string bed relative to standard NXT, preventing excessive trampoline effect and helping big hitters maintain directional control.
- Superior Shock Absorption: Retains the core DNA of the NXT family, absorbing high-frequency frame vibrations to protect the arm, wrist, and shoulder joints.
- Extended Durability: The added poly/nylon ribbon structure gives NXT Control higher notch resistance and durability than traditional multifilament strings.
- Hybrid Application: Serves as an exceptional cross-string pairing with stiff co-polyester mains (such as Luxilon 4G or ALU Power), softening the overall feel while preserving precision.
Best Suited For
- Hard-Hitting Multifilament Users: Ideal for players who love multifilament feel but regularly break standard NXT or need more control on full swings.
- Players Transitioning Away from Polyester: Great for poly users looking for an arm-friendly alternative that won't result in a total loss of trajectory control.
- Arm-Sensitive Competitors: Perfect for players dealing with tennis elbow who still require precise target placement and control.
