LUXILON ORIGINAL ROUGH 12M SET

LUXILON ORIGINAL ROUGH

Luxilon Original Rough is a textured evolution of the classic Luxilon Original, designed to increase spin potential while maintaining its renowned durability and control. Featuring a roughened surface and the same co-polyester construction, it delivers enhanced ball bite, improved rotation and a slightly more forgiving feel.

It is an ideal choice for players who appreciate the stability of Luxilon Original but want more spin and liveliness in their game.

On-Court Performance

Original Rough offers a slightly softer and more elastic response compared to the standard Luxilon Original. At impact, the feel remains controlled and stable, but with improved pocketing and a more forgiving sensation.

The textured surface increases string-to-ball friction, resulting in enhanced spin production and a heavier, more aggressive ball trajectory. Players will notice improved rotation and easier access to topspin, especially during baseline exchanges.

Power is slightly increased compared to the classic version, while control remains reliable and predictable. The balance between power and control is well maintained, making it suitable for aggressive players.

Spin is a clear upgrade over the smooth Original, offering stronger bite and better ball grip without reaching the extremes of shaped polyester strings.

Durability remains high, although slightly reduced compared to the smooth version due to the textured surface. Tension maintenance is strong, delivering consistent performance over time.
