LUXILON ORIGINAL 200M REEL

LUXILON ORIGINAL

Luxilon Original is the founding member of the legendary Big Banger family and remains one of the most trusted polyester strings for advanced players seeking maximum durability and control. Built with a firm co-polyester construction in a thick 1.30 mm gauge, it offers excellent stability, reliable power and outstanding resistance to breakage.

A long-standing favorite on the professional tour, Luxilon Original is especially valued by powerful baseliners who want a durable string with a controlled, consistent response.

On-Court Performance

Luxilon Original delivers a controlled and stable response with a distinctly muted feel at impact. For a thick polyester string, it offers surprisingly good comfort and a softer sensation than many traditional monofilaments.

Power is solid but not explosive. Players with developed strokes will appreciate the string’s ability to generate depth through full swings while maintaining a high level of directional accuracy.

Control is one of its biggest strengths. The response remains stable even on aggressive shots, making it a dependable option for players who like to swing hard without losing confidence.

Spin potential is above average for a round monofilament. It relies more on ball bite and player technique than on string shape, offering good spin production without reaching the extremes of shaped polyester strings.

Durability is excellent and one of the key reasons for its popularity. The 1.30 gauge and firm construction provide long-lasting resistance and strong tension stability across multiple sessions.
