Product Information

Full details

The Wilson Revolve - 16 string is designed for tennis players with long, fast strokes who prioritize a balance of power and spin. Its tri-polymer construction with a low-friction additive enhances snap back for aggressive spin generation. A potential consideration is its 16-gauge thickness, which offers durability but might be less comfortable for players sensitive to string tension. Key features include exceptional power, superior spin capabilities, and enhanced durability.

FAQs

What is the gauge of the Wilson Revolve - 16 string?

The Wilson Revolve - 16 string is 16 gauge, which is a common thickness offering a balance of durability and playability.

How does the low-friction additive help?

The low-friction additive allows the strings to move more freely and 'snap back' into place after impact, which is essential for generating increased spin.

Is this string good for beginners?

While suitable for intermediate to advanced players who can leverage its spin and power, beginners might find thinner, more flexible strings easier to start with.

What type of player benefits most from this string?

Players with long, fast strokes who want to maximize topspin and slice, while also maintaining good power, will benefit most.

How does the 16 gauge compare to other gauges?

A 16-gauge string is generally more durable than thinner gauges (like 17g or 18g) but may offer slightly less feel and flexibility. It's a popular choice for players seeking a durable string with good performance characteristics.

Can I use this string in a hybrid setup?

Yes, the Wilson Revolve - 16 can be used in a hybrid setup, typically as mains or crosses, depending on whether you want to emphasize spin/durability or control/feel.

Troubleshooting

Reduced spin after a few weeks

This can happen as the string loses its elasticity and friction. Consider re-stringing if performance significantly drops.

String breakage sooner than expected

While durable, aggressive play or contact with the frame can cause premature breakage. Ensure proper stringing tension and check for frame damage.

Arm discomfort or fatigue

Try lowering the string tension by 2-5 lbs, or consider a hybrid setup with a more flexible string in the crosses.

Lack of power on shots

Ensure you are using a full, fast swing. Lowering tension slightly can also increase power. Check that your racquet is properly strung.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent spin generation for aggressive play.
  • Good power output for strong groundstrokes.
  • Durable construction due to 16-gauge thickness.
  • Enhanced snap-back for responsive feel.
  • Comfortable feel for a power and spin-oriented string.

Cons

  • May be too stiff for players with very sensitive arms.
  • Thicker gauge might offer slightly less feel compared to thinner strings.
  • Requires a fast swing speed to maximize benefits.
  • Potential for reduced string movement for players who rely on extreme pocketing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This string is designed to be tensioned on a standard tennis racquet. It is recommended to string the Wilson Revolve - 16 at a tension recommended by your racquet manufacturer, typically within the range of 50-60 lbs (23-27 kg). Due to its spin-enhancing properties, many players opt for slightly lower tensions to maximize string movement and power.

Compatibility:

The Wilson Revolve - 16 is compatible with all standard tennis racquets. Its characteristics make it suitable for players with modern, fast swing styles across various levels of play.

Care:

To maintain the performance of your strings, it is advisable to:

  1. Wipe Down: After play, gently wipe the strings with a dry cloth to remove sweat and dirt.
  2. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not leave your racquet in excessive heat or cold, as this can degrade string performance and lifespan.
  3. Regular Inspection: Periodically check your strings for signs of wear, such as fraying or notching. Strings typically need replacing every 30-50 playing hours, or more frequently for competitive players.
