Wilson Sensation 16G Tennis String Natural

The Wilson Sensation 16G (1.30 mm) Natural is one of the original and most popular multifilament synthetic tennis strings on the market. Renowned for pioneering arm-friendly performance at an affordable price point, Sensation features highly elastic nylon fibers encased in a polyurethane matrix to absorb impact shock and provide a soft, comfortable feel.

Performance Profile

1. Arm Comfort & Shock Absorption: Engineered to reduce frame vibration compared to standard synthetic gut or stiff polyester, making it gentle on the elbow, wrist, and shoulder.
2. Plush Impact Feel: Offers a soft, cushiony feel at contact with solid ball pocketing, giving recreational players easy power and control.
3. Accessible Entry Point: Delivers genuine multifilament comfort and performance at roughly half the price of premium multifilaments like Wilson NXT.
4. Playability vs. Durability Balance: The 16G (1.30 mm) gauge provides a balanced blend of durability and playability, making it longer-lasting than thinner 17G versions while maintaining high comfort.

Best Suited For

1. Recreational & Club Players: Ideal for players looking for a soft, comfortable string that provides easy depth without breaking the bank.
2. Arm-Sensitive Players on a Budget: Excellent choice for players experiencing joint fatigue or tennis elbow who need shock absorption at an accessible price point.
3. Hybrid Cross String: Great option for budget-conscious players looking for a soft cross string to pair with a stiffer co-polyester main string.
