Wilson Sensation Plus 16G Tennis String Reel , Red

The Wilson Sensation Plus 16G in Red (660 ft / 200 m Reel) combines the legendary comfort of the Sensation line with a durability-focused construction and a high-impact aesthetic. This "Plus" version is the go-to choice for players who love the soft feel of multifilaments but need their strings to last a bit longer.

The Sensation Plus is built around a core of highly elastic nylon microfibers designed to absorb shock. What defines the "Plus" model is the addition of metallic ribbons wrapped around the outer core. This protective wrap reduces the friction and "notching" that typically causes multifilaments to fray and break. The vibrant Red color provides a bold, aggressive look that pairs exceptionally well with Wilson Clash or Burn frames.

Performance Profile

1. Comfort (9/10): While the metallic wrap makes it slightly crisper than the standard Sensation, it remains an elite arm-friendly string that effectively dampens harsh vibrations.
2. Durability (6/10): This is the strongest string in the Sensation family. The outer wrap significantly extends the lifespan, making it a viable option for players who hit with more pace.
3. Power (8/10): Offers a "lively" response with great energy return. It helps players find easy depth on their groundstrokes without needing a massive swing.
4. Feel (8/10): Provides a more direct, slightly firmer feel than the standard Sensation, offering better feedback for players who find pure multifilaments too "mushy."

Best Suited For

1. Frequent Players with Sensitive Arms: If you play several times a week and need a string that protects your elbow but won't snap every few days, this is the ideal balance.
2. Intermediate Competitors: Players who are developing more power and need a string that can stand up to higher swing speeds while remaining forgiving.
3. Hybrid Enthusiasts: A fantastic "cross" string choice. The metallic wrap allows it to slide more easily against polyester mains, potentially increasing spin and durability of the hybrid setup.
4. Home Stringers: The reel format provides the best "price-per-string-job," allowing you to keep a fresh, high-visibility setup in your racquet at all times.

The "Plus" Advantage

If you have used the standard Natural Sensation and found that it "fuzzes up" or breaks too quickly, switching to the Sensation Plus in this reel format is the most logical upgrade. You retain about 90% of the comfort while gaining a significant boost in frictional durability and a much more striking visual presence on the court.
