Overview
This textured co-poly offers maximum control on full swings. It will give big hitters the confidence to swing bigger when creating pace. The textured surface puts a tight grip on the ball for added spin. Great as a full set or in a hybrid.
Kirschbaum pre-stretches this string in order to improve tension maintenance and playability duration.

Excellent, inexpensive alternativeIt's like getting Luxilon ALU Power Rough for about half the price. Serves really well as the mains in a hybrid with a softer string. Generates plenty of power, and the surface is not so rough as to become abrasive. The mains slide over the crosses and notching is minimal. It won't produce the crazy spin like other contoured strings, but delivers plenty of power. I use a livelier cross (Ashway Monogut ZX) and it makes for a comfortable setup with plenty of power at 50 lbs. Works well in a high launch angle stiff racquet.
Ideal stringsThe best strings for the type of shot, for durability, price, etc.
Long lasting stringI was looking for a string that would last for a while and this one gets the job done!

Comments: I'm a pretty big fan of this string. I've hit with it for about 6 hours now, and it is only barely starting to move and hasn't seemed to lose any tension. Produces plenty of spin (if you produce spin) and offers great control.

Comments: I have used this as a cross with multi mains and think it is an excellent poly. TW has it listed as a stiff poly and it does play crisp. TW database also says it holds tension well for a poly and I agree. Mains snap around 10-15 hours but poly last and plays well the entire time. I string it at 48 lbs with multi mains at 52 lbs in very hot weather but will drop tension in the cooler fall and winter seasons. Give it a try if you like firm crisp poly strings. Very good product.

Comments: This string is very impressive. I am a high school tennis player who plays tennis every day for at least and hour or two. It is durable as a wire, and has exceptional touch and power. At the net, the feel was on point during some volley exchanges. I would recommend to string it a little loose (about 2 lbs), just like you would with most poly strings. I used this string on Babolat APD 2014.

Comments: Finally someone cracked the code on ALU Rough. This is basically Lux ALU Rough, but at a much cheaper price. The bite on the ball is great and the durability is impressive. I currently use this as a poly hybrid with Kirsch Pro Line II. Strung at 57/55 lbs in a Head Prestige Microgel MP. Great feel. I definitely recommend this poly for players looking for a cheaper Lux option.

Comments: This is great stuff - more durable than natural gut and similar in playing characteristics. It has a soft and crisp feel. I get a lot of spin out of these. They also fix in place pretty well compared to other synthetics. I like the soft feel. I haven't experienced a better string than this so far.
