Excellent grip for spin generation.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

As compared to the Luxilon ALU power (130) this string is even better at generating spin. On my Aeros, these strings tend to loosen up a tad after about 4-5 weeks to where I start hitting long consistently. The loosening may be due to the cross strings that I use. The 130s do not seem to have this problem, but they tend to feel like they go dead after about 6 weeks.

Just like the ALU power but has a bit more traction for more spin potential!

Good solid feeling String. Tough poly string does not slide around, so strings last longer.

Control, Power and Spin
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I play with the RF 97 Autograph and was doing a hybrid with a multi and after 6 hours the multi would wear out (with Alu Power Rough at 54 lbs/ multi 57 lbs). Just switched to Alu Power Rough at a full bed at 52 lbs and it feels incredible. Can take full cuts, great placement, change directions, and no arm problems. So far after 6 hours of full Alu Power Rough no loss of playability (note: I do play with a vibration dampener and a 4.5 level player). Good connectivity to the ball overall. I also tried a full bed of 4G Rough (at 52lbs) and the Alu Power Rough (at 52lbs) is much more lively and incredible control/placement.

Good amount of spin
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I normally use the non-rough version of the ALU power, but accidentally purchased this one. It feels quite similar, but it does give more spin, and lasts not as long.

Power and Control
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have this string on my mains, and dunlop explosive poly on my crosses. I call it " the house blend" . I have 4 rackets and two of them have this blend and they are my power and control strings. If i get to sailing shots long , i switch to my other rackets that are strung with luxilon spin effect . These strings usually last me the entire league season! They are incredible.

Control & Feel
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent String. I am a 4.0+ all court player, use New Pro-Staff, 55 lbs. Thinner gauge provides excellent spin while only giving up slight durability. String has outstanding control and feel. I use this string for full racket and have no arm issues. Provides very consistent feel and precision of shots. Plus still able to rip a 90 mph forehand. best string I've tried. Both my daughters play college tennis and they are now using this string.

Expected result I've got
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This is a mid-end quality string not as superb as Luxilon Savage, but much better than synthetic guts. (the usage experience of string is very subjective in my opinion). The reason I bought this instead of Salvage is the decent price offered by Midwest Sports.

Awesome feel, if you want to "punch that volley" and want a "drop it like its hot" dropshot, that keep your oppnenent scampering...Look no more! Been using x 5 years and no tennis elbow ever! Mean sting...for mean pinpoint shots!

Best Poly String I've Ever Played With
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have been a long time Technifibre fan for my poly and by far this is way better than any Technifibre string I have ever played with! I strung this with a wilson synthetic gut and strung the poly at 54, and the synthetic gut at 57. Amazing. Took more spin to keep the ball in but it's possible to get that extra spin with this string. I was shocked at the difference the string made...at the same price point! I am a medium-high level high school player, and the string maintained its tension for the amount of time I played with it. Best poly string ever is the only way to describe it. I definently reccomend this for anyone that wants spin with some power, and the ability to control balls at the net.

Great but...
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

This is truly a great string providing an insane amount of power but... I would advise to not use this if you are a junior player that is 13 and under because this string takes a toll on your arm especially for kids with arms that are not developed, but this string is great in a hybrid set up

Great String
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

My son uses the Luxilon Big Banger ALU Rough 16 as the mains, and use to sue the Tecnifibre X-One Biphase as the crosses, all strung at 55 lbs. However, the Tecnifibre strings simply did not last, so I convinced him to try these. Not only did he find that he liked these strings better than the Tecnifibre, but the last longer too, so it was a win-win all the way around.

I started using these about 5 years ago and love them. In the five years I have only broken about 2 strings. Wit all other strings they would break i about 30 hrs of use. However, the real reason I think they are so good is the power and spin I get with them. Hitting with topspin with these strings means you can't hit hard enough to hit the bal out. They have increased my consistancy a great deal and both my power and control have gone up. Bob

Great string!

I've been using the Big Banger string for a while now. I put the mains in 2 pounds tighter than the crosses. Strings don't move and stay at their tension for great control and consistent play.

Good String
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

These are good strings with enough comfort, spin and just the right amount of power. It's a great price for a Luxilon string, but just didn't last long enough in the open string pattern of my Wilson Steam 99s racket (about three weeks). Good string for big hitters since it's low powered, but is a little stiff. Overall a good string and would recommend it.

My son was breaking strings every two weeks which was getting very expensive. Our pro suggested switching to these and it has been a month and he hasn't broken one yet and they are still without frays. Very happy with these.

Quality at its best!
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

Loved just about everything about this string. Strung it pretty low for a 18 gauge. I went with 52 lbs. Played about 2 hrs of doubles and singles for my high school team. I am a big counter puncher and love to play out a point and this string was great for that. Awesome power when needed but then amazing playability when approaching the net. LOVE this string and will continue to use it.

String helps generate all the spin you need yet let's you hit through the court, hard to imagine any string ever topping this formula

Precise, AND Powerful
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I love this string! It is a little less expensive than other high quality spin strings in the market, but it is still expensive to do a full bed of this (Which I don't think you should try...) I use this in a hybrid setup, and the amount of spin I got was so much more than the Big Banger alu power. All in all, I love this string because I tend to hit flatter strokes, and I need the extra spin. I will be using this in all of my tournaments!

I have used this string as a full set, and as the mains in a hybrid with a natural gut. It really does respond well to big swings. I found it has expetional durability, and as a stringer, I find it easy to install.

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I got this string because I was unhappy with the the strings that I was using. All the types I tried and I tried about 5 or 6 were either too much spin and not enough control or too much power and not enough spin. I wanted a good string for spin and speed. This string delivers in a big way BOTH SPIN and POWER. And surprisingly has touch too-very unexpected. Anyway, I will no longer use anything else. DONE!
