Luxilon ALU Power 125 Tennis String - 100m Reel, Silver

These are the only strings I use.

I get good power and control. The strings last longer than any strings I've used.

Excellent string. I've been stringing my own rackets for 30 years and this is the best string of the dozens I've used. When I switched to this string I immediately noticed both increased power and control. There is almost zero string movement, so I do not see the same "notching" wear common with most other strings, including synthetic gut. As a result I've yet to break this string, though I've restrung to gain more comfort with lighter tension. This is an extremely stiff string. With other strings I use 55 lbs on my Wilson N Code Tour idsize rackets. With the Alu Pro, I use 46 lbs, and it still feels firm. The knock on these strings is that they could transmit more shock to the elbow or shoulder, but I've had no problems at all in this regard. .

Pros: nice black finishing, provides good power/spin and control while providing good durability.Cons: not the best string for your elbow; also not great to hold the tension.Overall, still my favorite ALU string.

no. 1 string on the ATP tour for a reason- the volleys and serve noticeable improvement these strings are for the power player who wants to take their game to the next level. You'll notice more pop on your serve no question.. I haven't had any elbow pain/issues these come in the sky blue and the silver I am told the silver plays even a little better but I like the blue so sticking with it.

Love the color, and the price was perfect. The preferred strings, at a great price.

I have purchased these before. I play tennis 4-5 times a week

I've played with Luxilon ALU Power strings for over 20 years. The first time I hit with strings from this reel, I knew there was something wrong. None of the usual magic, no feel, balls flying long. I thought maybe it was due to a wrist injury I was recovering from. When I asked my new stringer to restring at my usual tension, he took one look at them and immediately pointed out that there was something wrong. Although the packaging looked OK, there was no lettering printed on the strings. They usually have "Luxilon" and the string type clearly printed. The strings felt like the cheapest polys to him on the stringer and nothing like Luxilon ALU. I sent pictures to Luxilon and they agreed that the strings did not look like genuine Luxilon.
