The Wilson Revolve 16G (1.30 mm) Black is a popular co-polyester monofilament tennis string engineered for aggressive groundstrokers seeking heavy spin, high control, and maximum durability.
Built with a smooth, round outer profile and an UHMW (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight) polymer additive, Revolve maximizes low-friction string snapback to generate high RPMs while maintaining a predictable, low-power response.
Performance Profile
- Low-Friction UHMW Snapback: The smooth round surface and UHMW coating allow the main strings to slide freely against the crosses and snap back violently upon impact, producing heavy topspin without requiring a shaped edge.
- Firm, Predictable Control: Delivers a deader string bed response that prevents full-power shots from sailing long, giving big hitters total confidence to take fast cuts at the ball.
- Resistant to Notching: The crosslinked polymer construction combined with the slick outer coating reduces friction wear, making the 1.30 mm gauge exceptionally durable for heavy string-breakers.
- Slightly Softer than Shaped Polys: Plays with a slightly more forgiving impact feel compared to rigid geometric polyesters (like Revolve Spin), offering solid ball pocketing for a monofilament string.
Best Suited For
- Aggressive Groundstrokers: Ideal for intermediate to advanced players with fast swing speeds looking for high spin output and dependable control.
- Frequent String Breakers: Excellent choice for heavy topspin hitters who need superior durability and notch resistance from a 16-gauge string.
- Hybrid Main String: Performs exceptionally well as a slick main string paired with a softer synthetic gut or multifilament cross string to maximize hybrid snapback.
