Overview
As one of the softest strings in Luxilon's line-up, Element is ideal if you like to hit big. With Element you'll get exceptional precision and spin without the high level of shock that comes with a traditional control string. Like its predecessors (M2 Pro and M2 Plus), Element features Multi-Mono Technology, providing you with a slightly more flexible feel than other Luxilon monofilaments. Although this string definitely works best if you have long, fast strokes, our playtest team was also impressed with its performance on touch shots (especially when compared to more traditional polyesters which tend to feel overly stiff and unresponsive at slow stroke speeds). All in all, this string is a great option for you intermediate through advanced players seeking a durable control string with above average feel and comfort. Dare we say that it is the missing element to your game?

Comments: Very nice string. Element is probably the best all-around string for those who are looking for something right in between a multifilament and a co-poly.

Comments: This is a soft poly. If you are a hard hitter, it will notch very fast, but will remain consistent for a while and it will hang tough and last a little longer than most polys ever after a significant notching. The string does not have any special characteristic for me other than being good all around, soft and durable. But it is not a spin monster nor does it have any special "feel" to it, not crisp, not mushy, something in between. True to all Lux strings, this one will harden and loose resilience before breaking and you will see the strings not snapping back into position. If you are not a frequent string breaker, beware because you will likely end up playing it way past the point where it needs to be cut out and before it hurts your arm.

Comments: Have been playing this string for 6 months, averaging two matches and one or two drills/practice sessions a week with it. I have two Prince Textreme 100P Midplus racquets and swap between them on each changeover. I have to string the racquets about every two months. This string is superior to the hybrid setup I used for five years prior to Element. I wanted something that felt better and knew there had to be something out there. Tried Element 16 on the whole racquet and loved it instantly. Bite, feel, and crisp all the way -- until they stretch too far. You feel it. Balls start to go long and/or volleys and serves lost all sense of connection and control. You can sense when these go bad, which I now like about them. It's like they have a built in self timer. Once they are past optimal, you feel it. I'm sticking with these for a while.

Comments: Hope Lux keeps making Element forever. It's the right level of soft and grippy. The response is consistent. It works well in a hybrid or full set. One particularly good combo is a full set in the Wilson FST 95 racquet with mains at 53 Ibs and crosses at 51 Ibs. I do wish the price was a little lower.

Comments: Very good string. It's slightly softer than ALU Power, provides ample spin, and looks really cool. It's not a standout string in any way, however. It's solid all around, but like all polys it loses tension and playability after a few weeks; so I guess in this regard it's not quite as good as 4G. I still enjoy using it as a softer alternative to other Luxilon strings. I think it performs like the lovechild of ALU Power and M2 Pro.

Comments: Luxilon Element is an awesome string. I used to have tennis elbow playing and now its gone due to how soft and comfortable this string is. It is also great for control and spin. I found as the looser it got the better it played (which was around a 50 lbs). Would highly recommend this string to anyone looking for a comfortable spin and control oriented game.

Comments: Greatest string ever. Hits great, looks great -- let's just hope it lasts long! I am not worried though, as Luxilon strings usually do.
