WILSON Champion's Choice Duo Hybrid Tennis String Set 16/16L Natural – Natural Gut + ALU Power Rough for Plush Feel and Spin

Wilson Champion's Choice Duo is a premium hybrid tennis string set pairing Wilson Natural Gut with Luxilon ALU Power Rough for a balanced blend of plush feel, explosive power and controlled spin.

Designed from the combination preferred by Roger Federer, this hybrid set uses a thicker Natural Gut in one set of strings and a thin, textured polyester in the other. The result is a racquet stringing that keeps the lively response and comfort of natural gut while adding the durability and bite needed for spin and control. The grey/white colorway keeps a clean, professional look on the court.

How does this hybrid affect feel and power?

The Natural Gut element supplies a responsive, energetic pop that preserves touch on volleys and short swings. That soft, lively character helps the ball sit on the stringbed slightly longer for improved feel without sacrificing baseline pace. The polyester side adds structure so you don't lose control when you swing hard.

• Natural Gut (16 / 1.30 mm) delivers plush response and high energy return
• ALU Power Rough (17 / 1.25 mm) provides a firmer contact and sustained tension
• Hybrid construction balances comfort with measurable power retention

Will this setup improve spin and durability?

The textured Luxilon ALU Power Rough is designed to grip the ball and generate more bite, increasing topspin potential compared with smooth gut alone. Placing the polyester in the crosses or mains changes wear patterns and affects longevity; putting ALU Power Rough in the mains increases durability against string breakage. This hybrid is tuned to deliver usable spin while keeping string life reasonable.

• Rough polyester surface enhances ball rotation
• Thinner gauge polyester increases snap-back for spin
• Configurable mains/crosses arrangement for tailored durability

How should I string my racquet for best results?

Federer’s preferred approach places Natural Gut in the mains and ALU Power Rough in the crosses to prioritize feel and playability. For players seeking greater longevity and spin, installing ALU Power Rough in the mains is the alternative. Work with a recommended stringer and select tension based on your racquet and playing style.

• Mains: Natural Gut for optimal touch and shock absorption
• Crosses: ALU Power Rough to enhance spin and structural stability
• Or reverse mains/crosses to favor durability and spin over softness

What gauges and color options are included?

This set combines a 16-gauge (1.30 mm) Wilson Natural Gut with a 17-gauge (1.25 mm) Luxilon ALU Power Rough. The two-string pairing arrives in a coordinated grey and white finish to match modern racquet aesthetics. The mixed gauges let you experience the contrasting performance traits from each material.

• Natural Gut: 16 / 1.30 mm (soft, responsive)
• ALU Power Rough: 17 / 1.25 mm (thin, textured)
• Grey/white color scheme for a professional look

Who is this for? Players who want tournament-level equipment benefits without compromising feel — advanced club players, competitive weekenders and string-savvy recreational players — will appreciate this hybrid. If you value a plush contact combined with the modern spin and control of polyester, the Wilson Champion's Choice Duo gives a tuned two-string solution inspired by a top professional's setup. Ask your stringer about tension and mains/crosses orientation to dial it perfectly to your game.
