The Wilson Revolve 17G (1.25 mm) Orange is a spin-friendly, control-oriented co-polyester monofilament tennis string. Built with a smooth, round geometric profile and an UHMW (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight) polymer additive, Revolve maximizes low-friction string snapback to generate high RPMs while maintaining shot precision.
The thinner 17-gauge (1.25 mm) profile offers enhanced ball pocketing, improved touch, and greater spin acceleration compared to the thicker 16G version, while the vibrant orange cosmetic delivers a high-energy look on court.
Performance Profile
- High-RPM UHMW Snapback: The slick outer polymer layer enables main strings to slide smoothly across cross strings and spring back rapidly upon ball contact, producing heavy topspin without requiring shaped edges.
- Enhanced Tactile Response & Pocketing: The thinner 1.25 mm diameter flexes more upon ball impact than 16G variants, offering deeper ball pocketing, superior touch, and increased comfort.
- Low-Power Trajectory Control: Delivers a predictable, dead string bed response that keeps high-velocity groundstroking inside the baseline, allowing players with fast swing speeds to swing freely.
- Resistant to Friction Wear: The crosslinked polymer structure maintains smooth string interaction and notch resistance throughout its playable life.
Best Suited For
- Intermediate & Advanced Topspin Hitters: Ideal for players with fast, full swing styles 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.
- Vibrant Custom Frame Styling: Excellent option for players who want high-performance spin matched with a bright, eye-catching orange string bed.
