BABOLAT Synthetic Gut 17G White

Synthetic gut is the workhouse of recreational tennis — more comfortable and arm-friendly than polyester, more affordable and durable than natural gut, and easier to maintain than multifilament. Babolat's Synthetic Gut at 17g is the logical string choice for beginners and club players who want predictable, consistent performance without the cost or technical demands of specialist strings.

At 1.25mm, the gauge balances durability and feel effectively. The nylon construction delivers a springy, lively response that helps players generate pace without a full, technically precise swing — a genuine advantage for players still developing their technique. Tension maintenance is solid for a synthetic gut and the string bed holds its character through regular weekly play.

The right choice for recreational players who want reliable baseline performance from a trusted brand, or as a durable, affordable option for string-breaking juniors who don't yet need performance-specific setups.
