The new rage in tennis you may have heard about are Luxilon strings. The top players are using these strings on their rackets. The difference between a pro-player and a club player could be mechanics. The luxilon string is fabulous if you have great mechanics. The word used to describe these strings is "dead." Most people stop when they hear this word because it lacks the energy that you think of when playing tennis. Dead, in this sense, means that the stings take the impact, which makes them dead and allows you as the player to do the job.
Luxilon strings are made from poly-based string, which is a synthetic sting. When you research the poly strings, usually you find them at the bottom of the list. The difference is that it does give a good top-spin on the ball. This kind of string is not recommended for beginners. Only the top players should be using this type of string. Ask your trainer or coach before purchasing these strings. They know your mechanical capabilities and sense of game play.
The advantages for top players include that they allow players to have a sense of comfort and a softer feel during impact, more power to deliver, and control of positioning the ball. The disadvantages to the these strings for regular athletes include that the tension of the sting does not last long, the pros restring their rackets often and have many of them. The object to the game is to know what you need personally and not always go with the hype.
