LUXILON 4G ROUGH 12M SET

LUXILON 4G ROUGH

Luxilon 4G Rough is a textured co-polyester monofilament engineered to combine exceptional tension maintenance with increased spin and improved feel. Built on the proven 4G platform, it features a dented surface that enhances ball grip while preserving the string’s renowned stability and long-lasting performance.

A control-oriented co-poly with added spin and extended playability.

On-Court Performance

4G Rough is designed for players who want maximum control with additional spin and slightly improved comfort compared to the standard 4G.

At impact, the string feels firm and extremely stable, with a slightly more flexible response due to its textured surface. The increased dwell time provides better ball grip and a more connected feel.

Power is low to medium, offering controlled depth and rewarding full, committed swings.

Spin is significantly enhanced compared to regular 4G, with the rough surface increasing friction and enabling heavier topspin and sharper slice shots.

Control remains outstanding, allowing players to swing aggressively while maintaining precision and consistency.

Comfort is above average for a firm control poly, with a slightly softer and more forgiving feel than the classic 4G.

The standout feature is tension stability — among the best available — maintaining consistent performance over long playing sessions. Durability is strong, though slightly reduced compared to the smooth 4G due to the textured surface.

Who Should Use It

• Advanced players seeking control with added spin
• Aggressive baseliners with fast swing speeds
• Players frustrated with tension loss in other polys
• Competitors wanting long-lasting performance
• Players who like 4G but want more bite and feel

Who Should Not Use It

• Beginners or players with compact strokes
• Players seeking maximum comfort
• Flat hitters prioritizing durability over spin
• Players who prefer soft or lively strings
