Wilson Sensation 17G Tennis String Reel Natural

The Wilson Sensation 17G in Natural (presented here in the 660 ft / 200 m Reel) is the thinner, more responsive version of the string that pioneered the multifilament category. Purchasing it in a reel format is the most cost-effective way for frequent players or home stringers to maintain the high-performance, arm-friendly feel of Sensation.

Performance Profile

1. Comfort (10/10): Elite shock absorption. The thinner 17G microfibers vibrate less and provide a softer impact than almost any other synthetic string.
2. Feel & Touch (10/10): The 17G gauge provides superior "ball feedback." You get a heightened sense of where the ball is on the string bed, making it ideal for touch shots and volleys.
3. Power (9/10): Highly elastic. This string provides a significant "trampoline effect," helping players generate depth and pace with very little physical effort.
4. Durability (3/10): This is the main trade-off. The 17G multifilament construction is prone to fraying. While the reel format makes it easy to restring frequently, heavy topspin hitters will break this string relatively quickly.

Best Suited For

1. Home Stringers & Frequent Restringers: The reel format significantly reduces the "price per string job," making it a smart investment for those who love the feel of fresh multifilament.
2. Junior & Senior Players: Those who need the maximum amount of help from the string to generate power and protect their joints.
3. Tennis Elbow Sufferers: 17G Sensation is one of the softest strings on the market, making it a "top-tier" choice for pain management.
4. Low-Tension Enthusiasts: Because it is so elastic, it performs beautifully at lower tensions, offering a massive sweet spot.

Reel Benefits

Buying the 660 ft Reel is typically 20–30% more economical than buying individual sets. For a thin string like the 17G Sensation—which is designed for peak playability rather than longevity—having a reel on hand ensures you can restring as soon as the string begins to fray or lose its "pop," keeping your racquet performing at its highest level.
