Wilson Sensation Plus 16G Tennis String Reel , Black

The Wilson Sensation Plus 16G in Black (660 ft / 200 m Reel) is the high-durability, modern-styled evolution of Wilson’s most iconic comfort string. By combining the plushness of a multifilament with a friction-resistant outer wrap, this string provides a "best-of-both-worlds" experience for players who want a soft feel that doesn't break prematurely.

The Sensation Plus features a core of thousands of highly elastic nylon microfibers designed to absorb the shock of impact. The defining feature of the "Plus" model is the metallic ribbons wrapped around the core. This specialized outer layer increases the string's resistance to "notching" (where strings saw into each other), extending the life of the string bed compared to the standard Sensation. The sleek Black finish gives it a professional, understated look that pairs perfectly with modern racquet designs.

Performance Profile

1. Comfort (9/10): Excellent for injury prevention. It filters out harsh vibrations, making it an ideal choice for players with sensitive elbows or shoulders.
2. Durability (6.5/10): Significantly tougher than the standard Sensation. While still not as indestructible as a polyester, the metallic wrap provides a massive boost in lifespan for the non-poly user.
3. Feel (8/10): The outer wrap gives this string a slightly "crisper" and more responsive feel than the original Sensation, which some players find too "mushy."
4. Power (8/10): Provides a high energy return, assisting players in generating effortless depth and pace from the baseline.

Best Suited For

1. The "Heavy" Recreational Player: Those who play frequent, high-intensity matches and want a comfort string that can survive more than a few sessions.
2. Transitioning Players: Perfect for players looking to move away from stiff polyester strings due to arm pain but who still want a string that looks like a professional poly.
3. Hybrid Setups: An exceptional "cross" string. The smooth black coating allows the main strings to snap back more effectively, aiding in spin potential.
4. Coaches and Club Stringers: The reel format offers the most economical way to provide premium comfort and durability to students and club members.

Why Choose the Black Reel?

Investing in the 660 ft Black Reel is a smart move for any player who has settled on Sensation Plus as their "daily driver." The black colorway is the most versatile aesthetic choice, hiding ball fuzz and looking sharp on any racquet frame, while the reel format ensures you are always prepared for a fresh restring at a significantly lower cost per job.
