Luxilon 4G Rough 125 17G Tennis String Gold

The Luxilon 4G Rough 125 is the textured version of the ultra-stable 4G family, designed to combine industry-leading tension maintenance with enhanced spin and a slightly softer feel. By adding a dented, "rough" surface to the string, Luxilon has increased the string's flexibility and its ability to "grip" the ball.

Performance Profile

1. Extreme Tension Stability: Like the standard 4G, the Rough version is famous for its "4th Generation" molecular structure. It is designed to resist tension loss, ensuring the string maintains its crisp, high-performance feel for a significantly longer duration than most co-polys.
2. Enhanced Spin Potential: The textured "Rough" surface increases the friction between the string and the ball. This allows the string bed to "bite" into the ball’s felt more effectively, resulting in higher RPMs and a sharper "dip" on topspin groundstrokes.
3. Softer, More Forgiving Feel: Surprisingly, the "Rough" indentations actually make the string slightly more flexible than the smooth 4G. This results in a slightly plusher feel and better ball pocketing (increased dwell time) on impact.
4. Low-Powered Control: Despite the added spin and slight increase in softness, this remains a "player's string." It provides a very predictable, low-powered response that allows aggressive hitters to swing with maximum intensity without over-hitting.

Best Suited For

1. High-Level Competitors: Ideal for tournament players who need their string bed to stay consistent throughout long matches and multiple days of play.
2. Aggressive Baseliners: Specifically those who hit with heavy topspin and require the extra "bite" from the string to keep the ball deep and jumping.
3. Players seeking "Stable Feel": If you like the control of a poly but hate when they go "mushy" after two hours, 4G Rough is one of the most reliable options available.
4. Hybrid Main String: A popular choice for the mains when paired with a natural gut or multifilament cross, providing a spin-friendly foundation with elite tension life.
