Who it is for

Advancing and competitive players looking for polyester with a firm response.

Why it works

Luxilon ALU Power Rough is a co-polyester string in 1.25 mm; the textured profile gives it a spin-oriented string bed.

Watch-outs

Polyester loses tension quickly and is harsh on sensitive arms — restring regularly and drop tension rather than pushing it.

  • Extra bite for spin

Trade-offs

  • Tension drops with use
  • Gauge changes feel; try one step either way
