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

  1. 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.
  2. Superior Shock Absorption: Retains the core DNA of the NXT family, absorbing high-frequency frame vibrations to protect the arm, wrist, and shoulder joints.
  3. Extended Durability: The added poly/nylon ribbon structure gives NXT Control higher notch resistance and durability than traditional multifilament strings.
  4. 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

  1. Hard-Hitting Multifilament Users: Ideal for players who love multifilament feel but regularly break standard NXT or need more control on full swings.
  2. 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.
  3. Arm-Sensitive Competitors: Perfect for players dealing with tennis elbow who still require precise target placement and control.
