The Luxilon Element Rough 1.30/16G Reel is a thicker, textured variant of the most comfortable polyester string Luxilon produces. While the standard Element is known for its "plush" feel, the Rough version adds a dented surface to increase ball "bite" and spin, and the 1.30 mm gauge provides the maximum durability available in this specific line.

Performance Profile

  1. Multi-Mono Technology: The core of the Element series is its unique construction—multiple flexible fibers are embedded within a high-performance polymer matrix. This allows the string to flex like a multifilament while providing the control and spin of a co-poly.
  2. Textured Spin: The "Rough" denting on the surface increases the string's grip on the ball. This creates a slightly higher launch angle and more net clearance than the smooth version, helping players keep their aggressive shots in the court.
  3. Massive Ball Pocketing: Due to the combination of the 1.30 mm gauge and the Multi-Mono tech, the ball "dwells" on the string bed longer. This provides exceptional tactile feedback and a "connected" feel for touch shots and volleys.
  4. Dampened Response: This string is specifically engineered to filter out harsh vibrations. It is approximately 30% softer than ALU Power, making it one of the most arm-friendly options for competitive players.

Best Suited For

  1. Frequent String Breakers: The 1.30 mm (16 gauge) is the thickest and most durable version of Element. It is ideal for heavy hitters who love the comfort of Element but find the 1.25 mm version snaps too quickly.
  2. Players with Arm Sensitivity: If you are a competitive player suffering from "tennis elbow" but still need a polyester for spin and control, this is the premier option.
  3. Big Hitters Seeking Softness: Best for players with long, fast swings who want to avoid the "boardy" or "dead" feel of traditional polyesters like 4G or ALU Power.
  4. Open String Patterns: The thicker 1.30 mm gauge helps tame the power of open (16x19) string beds, providing a more stable and controlled response.
