Luxilon Element 12m String

Luxilon Element String: A Technical Overview

The Luxilon Element string introduces an innovative mono-multi technology, setting a new benchmark in string engineering.

It uniquely combines the robust durability of a monofilament with the exceptional comfort typically found in a multifilament string, offering a balanced playing experience.

Our Expert Review of the Luxilon Element String

Power and Control Analysis

The primary advantage of this string lies in its effortless power generation. Balls launch from the stringbed with significant velocity, making it easy to generate depth and pace. Consequently, precise control is a secondary characteristic for this particular string model, as its focus is firmly on power.

Spin Potential

Ball grip is not the strongest attribute of the Luxilon Element, making it less suited for extreme topspin players who rely heavily on heavy rotation. It is more appropriate for players who hit flatter shots or apply moderate topspin. For those seeking pronounced spin and higher trajectories, we highly recommend the Luxilon Element Rough.

Comfort and Forgiveness

A significant highlight of this string is its exceptional comfort and remarkable forgiveness. The Luxilon Element provides excellent tolerance on off-centre hits, mitigating harsh vibrations and delivering a playing sensation closely akin to that of a multifilament string. This makes it a great option for players concerned about arm comfort.

Durability and Tension Stability

Both the durability and tension maintenance of this string are within expected norms for its category, offering a reliable performance lifespan. However, it is not specifically designed as a high-durability option for players who frequently break monofilament strings.

Feel and Rigidity

The string delivers a semi-rigid feel upon impact, striking a balance between responsiveness and stability. This characteristic is coupled with excellent ball touch and feedback, allowing players to feel connected to the ball throughout their strokes.

Who Should Use Luxilon Element?

This string is ideally suited for players prioritising both power and comfort in their game. If you experience forearm discomfort with traditional monofilament strings but appreciate their inherent feel and response, the Luxilon Element presents an optimal alternative. It provides significantly enhanced comfort while retaining excellent playability and feel, making it a highly appealing choice for a wide range of players.

Only players who generate extreme topspin might find its ball grip lacking for their specific style of play. In such cases, we recommend exploring the Luxilon Element Rough, which is engineered with enhanced spin capabilities.

Key Advantages:

• Effortless Power Generation
• Responsive and Connected Feel
• Superior Arm Comfort
• High Forgiveness on Off-Centre Hits

Considerations:

• Reduced Control (relative to other monofilaments)
