Luxilon ALU Power Feel 120 Tennis String Reel

The Luxilon ALU Power Feel 120 Reel is the high-volume supply of the most surgical and tactile string in the ALU Power family. By thinning the diameter to 1.20 mm (18 gauge), Luxilon provides a string that is significantly more flexible and responsive than the industry-standard 125, making it the premier choice for players who prioritize "pocketing" and feedback.

Performance Profile

1. Superior Ball Pocketing: The 1.20 mm gauge allows the string bed to deflect more upon impact. This increases the "dwell time" (the time the ball stays on the strings), providing the player with an intimate sense of control over ball placement and depth.
2. Signature ALU "Pop": Despite being thinner and softer, it retains the classic aluminum-infused "Big Banger" snap. It produces a crisp, metallic sound at impact and provides a livelier energy return than thicker gauges.
3. Increased Spin & Snap-Back: The thinner profile encounters less friction during string-to-string movement. This results in faster snap-back, which translates to heavier topspin and better "dip" on aggressive baseline shots.
4. Vibration Reduction: By design, the "Feel" version absorbs more shock than the standard 125. It offers a more dampened, arm-friendly sensation while maintaining the high-performance attributes of a tour-level polyester.

Best Suited For

1. Advanced Control Players: Specifically those who rely on touch shots, slices, and volleys, and find traditional 125 mm polyesters too "boardy" or unresponsive.
2. Dense 18x20 String Patterns: This is one of the best strings for dense patterns (like those found in the Wilson Blade or Head Radical). It opens up the sweet spot and adds the power and spin that can often be lost in tight string beds.
3. Hybrid Enthusiasts: A popular choice for the "crosses" in a hybrid setup to add feel, or as the "mains" to provide a softer, more elastic response when paired with a stiff cross-string.
4. Intermediate Players Moving to Poly: For those transitioning from multifilaments, the 120 gauge offers a less jarring introduction to the world of co-polyester strings.
