Wilson Nxt Control

Standard multifilaments are made entirely of soft fibers for comfort, while the Nxt Control incorporates polyester fibers into the core. This gives you the firmer, more precise response of a polyester string while maintaining the plush, arm-friendly feel of a traditional multifilament.

Yes, it is significantly more arm-friendly than a full bed of polyester strings. By blending nylon and polyurethane with the polyester, it dampens vibration and absorbs shock, making it a safer option if you are prone to arm discomfort.

You may notice slightly less 'trampoline effect' compared to a pure multifilament, but you gain significant control and predictability. It is designed for players who want to swing freely without the ball sailing long, rather than those looking for maximum free power.

The 16g (1.32mm) gauge is on the thicker side, which enhances durability and control. It provides a slightly more solid, muted feel at impact compared to thinner gauges, which tend to offer more spin and a crisper response.

Because it blends polyester and nylon, it holds tension better than a pure multifilament but isn't as stiff as a full polyester setup. You can string it at your usual tension, but many players find success by stringing it 1-2 pounds lower than their standard multifilament to unlock a bit more comfort.
