Luxilon Big Banger ALU Power 17G Ice Blue 720' Reel

The Luxilon Big Banger ALU Power 125 (16G) Ice Blue is a visually striking, limited-edition version of the world's most dominant professional string. While the "Ice Blue" colorway provides a crisp, modern aesthetic, the internal construction remains identical to the classic Silver ALU Power, delivering the same elite combination of power, control, and spin that has defined the modern game.

Performance Profile

1. The "Big Banger" Pop: This string is famous for its unique blend of aluminum fibers and poly-ether-ether. It provides a "lively" energy return that is more explosive than standard polyesters, giving players a distinct advantage in ball speed.
2. Surgical Precision: Despite its power, ALU Power is a low-powered control string. It offers a very predictable, consistent launch angle, allowing players with fast swing speeds to aim for the lines with total confidence.
3. Maximum Snap-Back: The low-friction surface allows the main strings to slide and snap back instantly. This "snap-back" effect is the engine behind heavy topspin, helping high-velocity shots dive into the court.
4. All-Weather Performance: Completely impervious to atmospheric conditions like humidity and temperature, ensuring that your string bed feels the same in a humid night match as it does in a dry day session.

Best Suited For

1. Aggressive Competitors: Designed for players with full, fast strokes who want to dictate the tempo of the point from the baseline.
2. Modern Frame Matching: The Ice Blue finish is a perfect aesthetic match for frames like the Wilson Ultra, Babolat Pure Drive, or any racquet with blue accents.
3. High-Volume Restringers: The 720' (220 m) Reel is an extended-length reel, providing slightly more material than the standard 660' reel. This is the most economical choice for coaches, competitive families, or tournament players who restring multiple frames per week.
4. Hybrid Specialists: It is one of the most popular strings to use in a hybrid setup (usually in the mains) paired with natural gut or a high-end multifilament.

Pro Tip:

To experience the intended performance of the ALU Power line, Luxilon officially recommends stringing at 10% lower tension than your standard reference. For most advanced players, this typically falls between 48 lbs and 52 lbs (22–24 kg) to allow for optimal ball pocketing and power.
