Who it is for
Advancing and competitive players looking for polyester with a firm response.
Why it works
Luxilon Savage is a co-polyester string in 1.27 mm; the shaped 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
