The Wilson Revolve 17G (1.25 mm) Black Reel (200m / 660ft) is a spin-focused, control-oriented co-polyester monofilament tennis string designed for aggressive groundstrokers looking for maximum snapback, enhanced touch, and high RPMs.
Built with a smooth, round geometric profile and infused with an UHMW (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight) polymer additive, Revolve minimizes string-on-string friction to allow main strings to slide and snap back rapidly upon ball impact. The thinner 17-gauge (1.25 mm) profile offers superior ball pocketing, improved touch, and higher spin acceleration compared to the thicker 16G version, while the bulk 660 ft reel format provides maximum cost efficiency for frequent stringers, competitive players, and pro shops.
Performance Profile
- Low-Friction UHMW Snapback: The slick outer polymer coating reduces friction between main and cross strings, maximizing main string displacement and rapid snapback for high-RPM topspin.
- Enhanced Tactile Feel & Pocketing: The thinner 1.25 mm diameter flexes more on impact than 16G variants, delivering deeper ball pocketing, greater touch, and a slightly softer impact response.
- Low-Power Precision: Provides a predictable, dead string bed response that keeps aggressive, high-velocity groundstrokes within the baseline.
- Resistant to Friction Wear: The crosslinked polymer matrix helps maintain smooth string interaction and notch resistance throughout its playable lifespan.
- Bulk Value Format: Offers significant savings per set for tournament players who break strings frequently or stringers maintaining steady inventory.
Best Suited For
- Intermediate & Advanced Topspin Hitters: Ideal for players with fast swing speeds looking for controllable power, heavy spin, and improved string bed feel.
- Control-Minded Competitors: Perfect for aggressive groundstrokers who rely on predictable, pinpoint accuracy on full-effort shots.
- High-Volume Stringers & Pro Shops: Essential bulk inventory option for supplying spin-oriented co-polyester stringing to competitive clients.
