Luxilon Eco Rough 125 Tennis String

The Luxilon Eco Rough 125 is a high-performance co-polyester string that blends professional-grade playability with a commitment to sustainability. As part of Luxilon’s Eco family, it is crafted from 100% recycled materials (90% recycled PET bottles and 10% other recycled plastic packaging), making it a top choice for environmentally conscious athletes.

Performance Profile

1. Enhanced Spin: The string features a unique textured surface with dents at 45-degree angles. This design increases the surface area that contacts the ball, allowing for greater "bite" and significantly higher topspin potential.
2. Dampened Feel: Despite its recycled origins, the Eco Rough is engineered to be softer and more forgiving than the standard ALU Power Rough. It provides a "plush" sensation at impact, effectively absorbing vibrations.
3. Increased Dwell Time: Due to its flexibility, the ball stays on the string bed slightly longer. This "pocketing" effect gives players a higher sense of control and better feedback for placement.
4. High Resilience: It offers a lively response compared to "dead" polyesters like 4G, providing enough "pop" to help depth on defensive shots while maintaining the control required for big swings.

Best Suited For

1. Intermediate to Advanced Players: Those who generate their own power and want a textured string to help keep the ball inside the baseline.
2. Players Seeking Comfort: An excellent option for polyester users who are concerned about arm health or "tennis elbow," as it is one of the more arm-friendly textured polys available.
3. Sustainability Advocates: Players looking for a professional-grade alternative to Babolat RPM Blast Rough or Luxilon ALU Power Rough without the environmental footprint.
4. Open String Patterns: Pairs perfectly with 16x19 racquets, where the textured surface has the room to move and snap back for maximum RPMs.
