Wilson NXT Power 16G Tennis String - 200m Reel - Natural

The Wilson NXT Power 16G (1.30 mm) Natural Reel (200m / 660ft) delivers maximum power, superior shock absorption, and high-tier playability in a bulk reel format. Formerly known as NXT Tour, this string is engineered to emulate genuine natural gut by combining high-density Xycro Micro-Fibers bound with a 15% polyurethane matrix.

The 16-gauge (1.30 mm) profile provides higher durability, notch resistance, and tension stability compared to the thinner 17G reel option, making it the most versatile reel setup in the NXT Power family. Purchasing in a 200m bulk format offers substantial cost savings per individual string job for stringing shops, competitive players, and frequent string breakers.

Performance Profile

1. Effortless Power & Depth: Generates high energy return and a lively trampoline effect, allowing players to produce deep, penetrating shots with reduced physical swing effort.
2. Gut-Like Ball Pocketing: Cushions ball impact and holds the ball on the string bed longer, offering smooth control and tactile feedback on volleys, touch shots, and drop shots.
3. Enhanced Durability & Tension Retention: The 1.30 mm thickness offers greater resistance to notching and fraying than thinner 17G options, holding tension reliably over extended play sessions.
4. Superior Joint Relief: Absorbs harsh frame vibrations, serving as a top choice for preventing or managing tennis elbow and wrist fatigue.
5. Bulk Value: Provides frequent stringers and high-volume players with consistent access to ultra-premium multifilament performance at a lower cost per set.

Best Suited For

1. High-Volume Stringers & Clubs: Excellent stock choice for pro shops and stringers serving players who demand maximum arm comfort and power.
2. Power-Seeking Competitors: Ideal for players with medium swing speeds who break 17G multifilaments too quickly and require extra durability without sacrificing soft feel.
3. Lively Hybrid Cross String: Perfect for stringing as a soft, power-boosting cross string paired with a control-oriented co-polyester main string.
