Reel Luxilon Alu Power Soft
The Luxilon Alu Power Soft reel string is presented in a softer version than the famous Alu Power.
This means you retain all the benefits of Big Banger Alu Power, with a marked improvement in hitting power.
In terms of ball feel, the sensations are softer. This means a longer ball-string contact time to maintain control.
This addition to the Luxilon range offers a perfect blend of power and feel. What makes the difference is that it's much more arm-friendly than the classic version.
OUR TEST OF THE LUXILON ALU POWER SOFT REEL STRING
Power and control
The Luxilon Alu Power Soft string offers explosive power at ball impact. Hard to believe it's a 1.25 gauge! You'll be surprised by the power it delivers. Ball control is significantly reduced. Ideal for players looking for a string with maximum power!
Spin
spin is classic, like most round monofilaments.
Comfort and forgiveness
Unlike Alu Power, this Soft version is very comfortable and, above all, very forgiving. Even on off-center shots, the ball goes away quickly and without unpleasant vibrations for your forearm.
Durability and tension hold
Resistance is average. However, the tension hold is quite good, and we noticed a linear loss of feel over the hours, rather than the sudden loss of feel experienced by some of our competitors.
Sensation / feel / stiffness
We felt the ball/string contact time was prolonged, making the string very supple. If you're a fan of this kind of feel, opt for a test, because you should be won over!
Tip Extreme Tennis:
Luxilon Alu Power Soft strings are ideal for rackets with closed string patterns, such as 18/20, or for headsize strings under 630cm². You'll be more responsive! The result is improved performance. If you're using it on headsize 645cm², we recommend increasing the tension by 1 kilo, unless your primary aim is to achieve maximum ball speed.
