Wilson Sensation Plus

The 17-gauge, or 1.28mm diameter, is slightly thinner than standard strings. This provides a bit more bite on the ball and a more responsive feel, though it may wear out slightly faster than a thicker 16-gauge string.

The metallic ribbons are integrated into the construction to add structural resilience. This helps the string maintain its tension and playability for longer, while also providing a slightly crisper feel compared to a standard multifilament string.

Yes, the Sensation Plus is built with highly elastic nylon fibers designed to absorb shock. It is a much softer, more arm-friendly option compared to stiff polyester strings, making it a solid choice if you need to reduce impact on your joints.

While the original Sensation is known for its pure comfort and soft feel, the 'Plus' version incorporates the metallic ribbon wrap. This makes the Sensation Plus slightly more durable and provides a bit more feedback and control, without sacrificing the comfort the line is known for.

This string is ideal for beginners to intermediate players who want a comfortable, forgiving string that doesn't sacrifice performance. It is particularly well-suited for players who want a step up in durability from basic synthetic gut without moving to a harsh, stiff polyester.
