If so, how do they compare? The newer NXT Tour 17 has more multifilament fibers and more polyurethane. I guess that is why the NXT Tour 17 has a diameter of 1.26mm while the older Sensation NXT 17 has a diameter of 1.24mm. Does the .02mm diameter increase change much of the feel and control of the string? Thicker string might mean less spin potential, but the extra soft polyurethane could make up for that in grabbing the ball better. I'm looking for reasons to switch from the Sensation NXT 17 to the more expensive NXT Tour 17.
