Luxilon 4G Soft 125/17G Tennis String Gold

The Luxilon 4G Soft 125 is the more "user-friendly" version of the standard 4G, designed to offer the same legendary tension maintenance but with a noticeably plusher feel. While the original 4G is known for its firm, "board-like" stiffness, the Soft version undergoes a secondary heat treatment that alters the molecular structure to increase flexibility and shock absorption.

Performance Profile

1. Elite Tension Stability: Like the original, 4G Soft is engineered to resist "creeping." It maintains its playability and "fresh" feeling for much longer than standard co-polyesters, making it a reliable choice for tournament play.
2. Increased Comfort: By softening the polymer, Luxilon has created a string that is easier on the arm. It absorbs more impact vibration, making it accessible to players who found the standard 4G too taxing on their joints.
3. Enhanced Ball Pocketing: The added elasticity allow the ball to sink deeper into the string bed. This increased "dwell time" provides a more connected sensation and improved control on touch shots and volleys.
4. Controlled Power: It offers a slightly higher launch angle and more "pop" than the standard 1.30mm version, helping players get depth on defensive shots while still maintaining the low-powered, high-control DNA of the 4G line.

Best Suited For

1. Intermediate to Advanced Players: Ideal for competitors who want the control of a tour-level poly without the harsh, jarring impact.
2. Transitioning Players: An excellent choice for heavy hitters who are moving from a soft string (like ALU Power) to a tension-stable string like 4G but want to maintain some comfort.
3. Hybrid Setups: Works beautifully as a main string when paired with a multifilament or natural gut cross for a high-performance, arm-friendly setup.
4. Precision Baseliners: Players who rely on a consistent string bed to hit their spots with confidence throughout a long match.
