Luxilon 4G 130MM/16G Tennis String , Yellow

The Luxilon 4G 130 is the ultimate high-performance co-polyester for players who demand the absolute best in tension maintenance and durability. While many polyester strings lose their "fresh" feel after just a few hours of play, 4G was specifically engineered to stay in its peak playability window for a significantly longer period, making it a favorite on the ATP and WTA tours.

The 1.30 mm (16G) gauge is the thickest and most durable version in the 4G family, designed for the biggest hitters in the game.

Performance Profile

1. Industry-Leading Tension Maintenance: The "4G" stands for 4th Generation, referring to the molecular alterations made to the polymer chains to prevent them from "creeping" or stretching out. This ensures the string feels as crisp in the third set as it did in the first.
2. Maximum Control: This is a firm, low-powered string. It provides a very predictable and "linear" response, allowing players with high swing speeds to take massive cuts at the ball without fear of it flying long.
3. Enhanced Durability: The 1.30 mm thickness provides a sturdy cross-section that is highly resistant to notched wear. It is the definitive choice for chronic "string breakers" who need a string that can survive multiple sessions of heavy hitting.
4. Firm, Connected Feel: 4G offers a "solid" sensation at impact. While it is stiffer than Luxilon Element or ALU Power, it provides the surgical feedback that precision-oriented players need for hitting lines and small targets.

Best Suited For

1. Competitive Tournament Players: Ideal for those who play high-stakes matches where they cannot afford for their string tension to drop mid-match.
2. Big Hitters: Players who generate massive head speed and need a "dead" enough response to keep the ball inside the court.
3. Frequent Restringers: For players who are tired of their strings going "dead" or "mushy" after only 2–3 hours of hitting.
4. Modern Power Racquets: Pairs exceptionally well with racquets like the Wilson Burn or Babolat Pure Aero, providing the control necessary to tame high-power frames.
