Luxilon Alu Power Soft 200m Reel

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!

Our tip:

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.

WHO SHOULD USE THIS STRING?

We recommend this reference to players who want to add more impact to their game.

It will also please players who are fans of Alu Power, but find it too traumatic.

WHAT TYPE OF PLAYER IS LUXILON ALU POWER SOFT DESIGNED FOR?

This string is ideal for players looking for more ball speed. Its power will enable you to shorten exchanges.

It will also appeal enormously to those who love variation and play with touch.

Where does the Luxilon Alu Power Soft reel string stand in the Luxilon range?

In terms of intensity, Alu Power Soft is right up there with Rough as the most energetic string in the range. The difference lies in the feel, which is superior on the Soft version. At the expense of effect pick-up, which is less present.
