Wilson NXT Power 17G Tennis String Reel - Natural

The Wilson NXT Power 17G (1.26 mm) Natural Reel (200m / 660ft) delivers maximum power, plush arm comfort, and unmatched responsiveness in a high-volume reel format. Formerly known as NXT Tour, this string features high-density Xycro Micro-Fibers impregnated with a 15% polyurethane matrix to deliver playability that mimics genuine natural gut.

The thinner 17-gauge (1.26 mm) profile maximizes ball bite, tactile feedback, and spin potential compared to 16G variants. Purchasing in a 660 ft reel format offers substantial cost savings per individual string job for stringing shops, frequent players, and competitive players who require regular restringing.

Performance Profile

1. Maximum Power Output: Generates effortless trampoline effect and depth, making it ideal for players seeking easy energy return on every shot.
2. Gut-Like Tactile Feel: The thinner 1.26 mm profile allows deep ball pocketing, providing superior feedback for delicate touch shots, drop shots, and volleys.
3. Superior Joint Relief: Absorbs harsh frame vibrations on off-center hits, serving as a top choice for players managing or preventing tennis elbow and wrist pain.
4. Bulk Value: Provides high-volume stringers and players with consistent access to ultra-premium performance at a lower cost per individual set.
5. Gauge Trade-Off: Because it maximizes responsiveness and power, the thinner 17G gauge will notch and fray faster under heavy topspin compared to the 16G reel option.

Best Suited For

1. High-Volume Stringers & Clubs: Perfect stock choice for stringers who frequently string for players demanding maximum comfort and power.
2. Arm-Sensitive Competitors: Essential bulk setup for players with joint issues who restring frequently to maintain maximum shock absorption.
3. Lively Hybrid Cross String: Great option for hybrid setups as a soft, power-boosting cross string paired with a control-oriented co-polyester main string.
