Wilson Sensation 16G Tennis String , Blue

The Wilson Sensation 16G in Blue is a visually striking version of the string that effectively launched the multifilament revolution. Known for its "cloud-like" feel, this blue variant offers a cool, calming aesthetic while providing the same legendary arm protection and power as the original natural color.

At its core, Wilson Sensation is composed of thousands of high-quality Xycro Microfibers bundled together. This construction mimics the structure of natural gut, allowing the string to stretch and absorb shock much more effectively than standard synthetic guts or polyesters. The Blue finish adds a modern, sporty look to your racquet without sacrificing the "pocketing" feel that has made Sensation a bestseller for decades.

Performance Profile

1. Comfort (10/10): Widely considered one of the most arm-friendly strings on the market. It significantly reduces the impact vibration felt at the wrist and elbow.
2. Power (8/10): The high elasticity of the microfibers creates a "spring" effect, providing excellent ball speed for players who don't have a massive, aggressive swing.
3. Feel (9/10): Excellent "ball pocketing." You can feel the string bed wrap around the ball, offering a dampened, plush sensation rather than a sharp "ping."
4. Durability (4/10): As a pure multifilament, it is prone to fraying. When the outer coating wears down, the microfibers will start to look "fuzzy"—this is a normal sign that the string is nearing the end of its life.

Best Suited For

1. Touch and Finesse Players: Those who rely on volleys, dropshots, and placement rather than raw power.
2. Players with Arm Issues: If you are recovering from Tennis Elbow or want to prevent it, this is a top-tier recommendation.
3. Beginners & Seniors: Ideal for those who need a forgiving string bed that compensates for off-center hits and provides easy depth.
4. Color Customization: The blue hue is a perfect match for Wilson Ultra frames or any racquet where you want to add a pop of color to the string bed.

Pro Tip

If you love the feel of this Blue Sensation but find you are breaking it too quickly (within a week or two), consider using it as a "Cross String" in a hybrid setup. Put a durable polyester in the Mains (verticals) and this Blue Sensation in the Crosses (horizontals) to get a mix of durability and that signature softness.
