Wilson NXT Power 17G Tennis String - Natural

The Wilson NXT Power 17G (1.26 mm) Natural (formerly known as NXT Tour) is an ultra-premium multifilament designed to deliver maximum energy return, supreme shock absorption, and enhanced spin potential.

By combining high-density Xycro Micro-Fibers impregnated with 15% polyurethane, the 17-gauge (1.26 mm) profile increases ball bite, tactile feedback, and string bed responsiveness compared to the 16G version, bringing it as close as possible to the playability of natural gut.

Performance Profile

1. Effortless Energy & Depth: The 17G gauge stretches more freely at impact, offering maximum trampoline effect and deep power output with minimal physical swing exertion.
2. Enhanced Tactile Response & Spin: The thinner 1.26 mm profile bites into the ball felt effectively, providing exceptional ball pocketing, superior drop-shot touch, and extra spin potential over 16G variants.
3. Plush Arm Relief: Softens impact shock significantly, making it one of the premier choices on the market for preventing or managing tennis elbow and wrist strain.
4. Gauge Trade-Off: Because it prioritizes maximum playability and touch, the thinner 17G construction will notch and break faster under heavy topspin compared to thicker 16G options.

Best Suited For

1. Power-Seeking Players: Ideal for players with compact or moderate swing paths who need the string bed to assist with pace and depth.
2. Finesse & Touch Specialists: Excellent choice for net chargers, touch players, and doubles competitors who demand maximum feedback on volleys and drop shots.
3. Arm-Sensitive Competitors: Must-have option for players recovering from tennis elbow or joint issues requiring maximum shock absorption.
