Luxilon Tennis Strings – Characteristics and Performance Overview
Luxilon tennis strings are trusted by professionals and competitive players worldwide for their tour-proven performance, durability, and innovative design. Whether you’re choosing individual sets, exploring Natural Gut, or investing in reels for multiple racquets, Luxilon offers a full range of strings to match every style of play.
Polyester String Sets
Luxilon is best known for its industry-leading polyester strings, designed to provide superior spin, control, and durability. Each series emphasizes a slightly different performance characteristic.
- 4G – Maximum tension maintenance and long-lasting control, trusted by pros like Stefanos Tsitsipas and Grigor Dimitrov.
- ALU Power – Explosive power and crisp feel, the most iconic Luxilon string, used by Novak Djokovic, Coco Gauff, and Aryna Sabalenka.
- Element – Softer, arm-friendly comfort with Multi-Mono technology, offering a balance of feel and spin.
- Original – Classic durability and heavy ball pocketing, preferred by players who need maximum control and string life.
- Adrenaline – A budget-friendly entry into Luxilon performance, delivering crisp response and lively feel.
- Luxilon Eco Series - Offers sustainable performance without sacrificing playability. Eco Rough delivers extra spin with its textured surface, Eco Spin enhances bite and control through its shaped design, and Eco Power provides durable precision—all crafted with recycled materials to support a more eco-friendly game.
Natural Gut String Set
Luxilon Natural Gut combines modern innovation with tennis’s oldest string material. Made from organic raw materials with a unique coating, it delivers unmatched touch, comfort, and tension stability. Unlike polyester, which emphasizes spin and durability, natural gut excels in responsiveness and feel, making it ideal for players who want a softer string bed. Luxilon recommends using it in a hybrid setup with polyester (gut in the mains, poly in the crosses) for the best blend of comfort, control, and spin.
Polyester String Reels
For frequent players, coaches, and stringers, Luxilon reels provide the same performance as the sets but in larger quantities to string multiple racquets. Available across the most popular families—4G, ALU Power, Element, Original, Adrenaline, and Eco Rough—reels offer the best value and convenience without sacrificing quality. While Luxilon does produce Natural Gut reels, availability varies, and we do not currently stock them.
Polyester vs. Natural Gut – Key Differences
Choosing between polyester and natural gut depends on your playing style and priorities.
- Polyester (Luxilon 4G, ALU Power, etc.) – For advanced players who generate their own power. Offers durability, spin, and control, but plays stiffer and loses tension faster. Best for frequent restringers and heavy hitters.
- Natural Gut (Luxilon Natural Gut 125) – Delivers superior comfort, power, and tension maintenance. Easier on the arm and more responsive, but less durable and more costly. Best if you seek touch and long-lasting playability and if you can afford the higher cost.
- Hybrid Setup (Gut + Poly): The pro-level solution: gut provides comfort and power, while poly adds spin and control. Many top professionals use this combination.
Choosing the Right Luxilon String
- For control and tension stability → Luxilon 4G
- For explosive power and pro-level feel → Luxilon ALU Power
- For arm comfort and softer response → Element or Natural Gut
- For classic durability and heavy hitting → Original
- For value and frequent restringing → Adrenaline or any Luxilon Reel
- For eco-conscious performance → Eco Rough
- For the best of both worlds → Hybrid setup (Natural Gut + Polyester)
Luxilon tennis strings gives every player—from recreational to professional—the ability to customize performance with the perfect string choice.
