Luxilon ALU Power Feel 120 Tennis String Silver

The Luxilon ALU Power Feel 120 is a specialized, thinner iteration of the iconic ALU Power. By reducing the diameter to 1.20 mm (17 gauge), Luxilon has engineered a string that bridges the gap between the surgical precision of the ultra-thin 115 and the standard 125, specifically designed for players who want the "ALU feel" with more flexibility and ball-pocketing.

Performance Profile

1. Increased Dwell Time: The "Feel" version is designed to be slightly softer than the standard 125. It allows the ball to sit on the strings for a fraction of a second longer (pocketing), providing the player with better feedback and control over ball placement.
2. Enhanced Vibration Dampening: While still a firm polyester, the 120 gauge absorbs more shock than the thicker versions, making it a "friendlier" option for the arm while maintaining that signature crisp ALU response.
3. Spin on Demand: The thinner gauge bites into the ball effectively. Because the string is more elastic than the 125, you get a more pronounced "snap-back," which is essential for generating heavy topspin and kick serves.
4. Precision Control: Despite being thinner and "livelier," it retains the low-powered, predictable launch angle that has made the ALU line the choice of professionals.

Best Suited For

1. Intermediate to Advanced Players: Those who have developed full swings but find the standard 125 mm gauge a bit too stiff or "boardy" for their racquet.
2. Players with Dense Patterns: Ideal for 18x20 string patterns where a 1.25 mm or 1.30 mm string can make the racquet feel too dead. The 1.20 mm gauge opens up the sweet spot.
3. Touch and Feel Specialists: Players who frequently use drop shots, slices, and volleys and need more tactile feedback from the string bed.
4. Hybrid Setups: Works exceptionally well as a cross-string to soften a stiff poly main, or as a main-string paired with a soft synthetic cross for a high-performance, comfortable hybrid.
