Sensation 16

multifilamentGauge 161.3mm

Wilson Sensation 16 is Wilson''s flagship multifilament, engineered to replicate the feel and comfort of natural gut at a fraction of the cost. Hundreds of individual microfibers are bonded together to create a string that transmits remarkably little vibration compared to polyester, making it an excellent choice for players with arm sensitivity or those returning from elbow injuries. At $14 per set, Sensation delivers exceptional comfort value — it''s the go-to recommendation for beginners, intermediate players, and arm-sensitive club players who want a soft, lively response without spending $50 on natural gut. Advanced players who break strings frequently may find durability a limiting factor.
