Wilson Revolve Spin
Pentagonal co-polyester monofilament
Performance ratings
Overview
Revolve Spin is a five-sided co-polyester string with two "wow" factors: spin and control. It's a niche string for big hitters who like ripping the felt off the ball and watching their shots land on a dime. The pentagonal shape bites the ball at contact for excellent spin generation. Quite firm and low powered, which is perfect for advanced players because it gives them the needed control to execute their most powerful strokes. At just $8-10 per set, it's one of the best value shaped polys on the market.
