The Wilson Synthetic Gut Power 16G in White (660 ft / 200 m Reel) is the definitive "all-arounder" in the Wilson string lineup. It is engineered for players who want a crisp, traditional feel with a modern boost in energy return, all wrapped in a clean, classic aesthetic.
This string features a high-energy solid nylon core surrounded by a layer of reactive outer wraps. While standard synthetic guts can sometimes feel "mushy" or lose tension quickly, the "Power" variant is designed to be more resilient and lively. The 16-gauge (1.30 mm) diameter provides the ideal balance of durability and playability, making it the most popular thickness for club and recreational players.
Performance Profile
- Power (8/10): The specialized core is designed to provide extra "pop" on serves and groundstrokes, helping players generate depth with less physical effort.
- Feel (8/10): Offers a very "crisp" and "clean" impact sensation. It provides more direct feedback to the hand than dampened multifilaments, which is essential for players who like to "feel" their shots.
- Comfort (7/10): Significantly softer than any polyester string. It is a safe and reliable choice for players who want to avoid the harsh vibrations that can lead to arm fatigue.
- Durability (6/10): As a 16G solid-core string, it is quite resilient. It holds its tension well over time and offers a predictable lifespan for the average club player.
Best Suited For
- Recreational & League Players: Those looking for a "set it and forget it" string that performs consistently well in every category.
- Hybrid Users: This is one of the most popular "cross" strings in the world. Its smooth white coating allows polyester "mains" to slide and snap back, maximizing spin while softening the string bed.
- Home Stringers & Coaches: The reel format provides incredible value, reducing the cost per string job to a fraction of the price of individual sets.
- Clean Aesthetic: The bright white color is a timeless choice that looks sharp on virtually any racquet frame, from vintage models to modern designs.
