The Wilson Revolve Spin 17G (1.25 mm) Black Reel (200m / 660ft) is a shaped co-polyester monofilament tennis string designed for aggressive groundstrokers looking for maximum snapback, razor-sharp ball bite, and rapid spin acceleration.
Featuring a pentagonal (5-sided) geometry combined with an UHMW (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight) polymer additive, Revolve Spin grips the ball at contact while reducing main-to-cross string friction for explosive snapback. The thinner 17G-gauge (1.25 mm) profile offers superior ball pocketing, enhanced touch, and higher spin generation compared to the thicker 16G version, while the 200m bulk reel provides high value and savings per string job for frequent stringers, tournament players, and pro shops.
Performance Profile
- Pentagonal Ball Bite: The sharp five-sided geometric edges grab the felt of the ball, imparting higher rotation rates (RPMs) on aggressive, full-effort groundstrokes.
- Low-Friction UHMW Snapback: The ultra-slick UHMW coating minimizes string-on-string friction, allowing main strings to displace and snap back violently to amplify spin output.
- Enhanced Tactile Feel & Pocketing: The thinner 1.25 mm gauge flexes more on impact than 16G variants, providing deeper ball pocketing, enhanced feedback, and a slightly softer impact response for a poly string.
- Low-Power Trajectory Control: Offers a predictable, low-powered response that keeps high-velocity shots within the baseline, giving big hitters total confidence to swing out freely.
- Bulk Value Format: Delivers cost savings per set for competitive players who break thin polyesters frequently or pro shops stocking spin-focused options.
Best Suited For
- Aggressive Topspin Hitters: Ideal for tournament players and big hitters who rely on a thin, shaped polyester for supreme ball bite and depth control.
- Control-Minded Competitors: Perfect for players with fast swing speeds looking for maximum spin potential with improved feel on touch shots.
- High-Volume Stringers & Pro Shops: Essential inventory item for supplying spin-oriented, high-performance co-polyester stringing to competitive clients.
