Ashaway MonoGut ZX Pro Tennis Racquet String - Black (1.22mm / 17 Gauge / 12m)

For tennis players who want natural gut playability with better durability and tension stability, Ashaway MonoGut ZX Pro 17 is a 1.22mm Zyex monofilament string with no polyester.

Zyex has an inherently low dynamic stiffness, giving more energy return to the ball and a more responsive feel than polyester-based strings, and with no polyester additives it elongates more for natural gut-like playability with better tension maintenance. The 17 gauge gives the ultimate in feel and response for a slight trade in durability, and Ashaway recommends stringing 10-15% lower than traditional nylon, but no higher than 60 pounds.

Players get gut-like power and comfort with the durability of a monofilament, plus better response and tension stability than a poly can offer.

Key Benefits

• Gut-like feel: Zyex's low dynamic stiffness returns more energy to the ball than polyester strings.

• Weather resistant: Stands up to humidity and moisture better than natural gut.
• Feel and response: The 17 gauge maximises touch, with a slight trade-off in durability.
