I need help choosing between these three strings:
Wilson NXT 16
Wilson NXT Max 16
Wilson NXT Tour 16
The original NXT strings are the cheapest and the Tour is the most expensive, but which string is the biggest ban for my buck?
Which has the best playability?
Which has the best durability? How much durable is the Max strings then the others?
Overall which is the best?
Thanks.

NXT MAX has an extra layer for durability. NXT TOUR will undoubtedly have the best playability! Original NXT will play better than the MAX! But believe me...you will probably find more of a feel difference in the gauge you choose than differences between the three strings! 17 gauge will give you much better bite into the ball! The MAX will undoubtedly play with a 'heavier feel' than the others. Mono-filament, polyester strings(Enduro) are more durable because there is less friction between the cross strings and the mains. But these strings work more independently and do not have the same feel as multi-filament strings do! They are also harder on your arm.
I would also recommend stringing any 17 gauge string 2 to 3 pounds tighter than your 16 gauge strings!
If you are playing 3 or 4 times a week and only have to string your racket once a month, go for the best playing string. If its more often than that you may want to try the MAX!
GOOD LUCK!

Ok...the orginial ones are the most durable and cheapest. Mostly any kind of strings that are cheap are the more durable. The best performance you will get are usually the ones that are expensivem, however I do not reccommend these strings. You should use Babolat ProHurricane 18, because they are both durable and great in performance wise. Tour 16 is by far the best performance out of those three. Also since it is a gauge of 16 then it will last longer than other strings. The source below is a website where you have a big selection of brands and strings. As long as the gauge is low then the durability is very good. As long as the gauge is high then the performance is very high.

don't use any of those strings use babolat pro hurricane tour in a hybrid with babolat pro challenge (syn gut). This will give you a combination of power, spin and control, with syn gut for a lovely soft feel.
I go for head racquets, but babolat makes by far the best strings.

obviously the tours are the best but it is all about how much you want to spend
