12/15/07 - Chicago--Wilson NXT 17 was rated the #1 synthetic gut in playability, and Wilson NXT OS was rated the #1 synthetic gut in comfort in the recently released January 2008 issue of Racquet Sports Industry magazine. The strings were top rated in the string survey/members choice awards, which is produced every year by randomly selecting 2,000 members of the United States Racquet Stringers Association. The members were mailed the survey of every tennis string in the market, and asked to rate them on playability, durability, and comfort.

Wilson NXT 17 is a multifilament tennis string constructed of Wilson’s patented xycro-micro fibers. The string is one of the closest feeling strings to natural gut. The construction of the string expands the sweet spot on the string bed by 10%, and enhances playability while reducing shock up to 74%. NXT 17 has consistently been rated as one of the top tennis strings in the industry.

Wilson NXT OS is also a multifilament tennis string which is ideal for oversized and super oversized racquets. This string, like NXT 17, has gut like playability and is also pre-stretched and thermal set to help reduce tension loss.

The NXT family of string is on of the top selling multifilament string in the world, and continues to be one of Wilson’s best sellers.
