Luxilon Big Banger Original. In recent years Luxilon has become the string of choice for touring professionals. If you are a hard hitting, string busting, world beating cyclone of a tennis player, this may be one you should look at. This is a 16 gauge polyester.

Same as Luxilon Alu Power but with added texture. Roger Federer uses this one in a hybrid set with natural gut main strings, in what I would call a "reverse" hybrid. The idea is to mute the power of the gut without having to use ultra high tensions that would shrink the size of the sweetspot.

Big Banger Alu Power gets it's name from the addition of aluminum fibers during the extrusion process. It is a little thinner than Big Banger Original. Luxilon says it's a 16L. Whatever. This is probably the most popular string on the pro tour today. Is it right for you? Well, polyester strings are somewhat dead and lacking in feel. If you like to pummel the ball and your arm can take it, you might want to give it a shot.
