Wilson Synthetic Gut Power 16G Tennis String , Green

The Wilson Synthetic Gut Power 16G in Green offers the exact same high-energy performance as its colorful counterparts, but with a vibrant aesthetic that stands out on the court. It remains one of the most popular "bridge" strings for players looking for more life than a basic nylon but more comfort than a stiff polyester.

This string is built around a solid monofilament core protected by a series of outer wraps. This construction is designed to maximize energy return—the "Power" in its name—giving the ball a crisp pop upon impact. The green variant features a bright, neon-adjacent finish that provides a custom look, especially when paired with darker or neutral-colored racquet frames.

Performance Profile

1. Power (8/10): The high-elasticity core is designed to help the ball explode off the string bed, making it easier to find depth from the baseline.
2. Feel (7/10): It provides a "crisp" and "lively" response. Unlike softer multifilaments that can feel dampened, this string gives you clear, direct feedback.
3. Durability (6/10): The 16-gauge (1.30 mm) thickness provides a solid amount of material to resist shearing and notched wear, making it a reliable choice for non-poly users.
4. Comfort (7/10): While it is a "crisper" string, it is still significantly more arm-friendly than any monofilament/polyester, absorbing a good amount of shock on impact.

Best Suited For

Recreational & Club Players:

• Those who want a versatile, high-performing string without the high price tag of natural gut or premium multifilaments.

Players Needing Depth:

• If you find your shots are landing short, the "Power" core helps push the ball deeper into the court with less physical effort.

The Style-Conscious Athlete:

• The bold green color is perfect for players who want to personalize their gear and make their racquet "pop" visually.

Hybrid Main String:

• It works well in the mains (vertical strings) when paired with a softer cross string for a very responsive, budget-friendly hybrid setup.

Comparison at a Glance

Compared to the Wilson Sensation Plus, the Synthetic Gut Power is slightly stiffer and more responsive. While the Sensation Plus is about "plush comfort," this string is about "crisp energy." It is an excellent choice if you want to feel the ball "snap" off the strings rather than sink into them.
