Chapter 2: Eco-Friendly String with a Twist

Learn more about Luxilon’s latest spin string that’s great for both your game and the environment.

The next chapter in Luxilon’s eco book is ready for the world to read. The opening chapter was all about Eco Power, the first high-performance string made of 100% recyclable materials. From the packaging to the string materials, Eco Power proved that top-tier, environmentally friendly strings have been created and can lessen our carbon footprint.

What are LXN Eco Rough Tennis Strings?

The second chapter builds on this sustainable story by introducing Luxilon’s Eco Rough strings, another polyester composed of 100% recyclable materials. One of the main differences between the two strings is the Rough’s added texture. The Eco Rough strings are dented in a way that enlarges the surface, making it feel slightly softer and giving it an oval shape. This configuration really grips into the ball and allows players to increase the RPMs on their shots without altering their swing.

What can the LXN Eco Rough do for your game?

1. Increased Depth and Shot Placement: Your shots will consistently land deeper in the court using the same effort because of the extra rotations of topspin the strings place on the ball. You will also feel more connected to your shots, which can help you more precisely place the ball and force your opponent to scramble side to side.
2. Enhanced Feel and Power: These textured strings provide that extra pop while still allowing a firm, crisp response.
3. Improved Comfort: This string is ideal for players looking for a slightly softer polyester string.

While there are three strings in Luxilon’s Eco book, they are completely different. Eco Power is geared more toward all-around players looking for a great combination of power, spin, and control. Eco Spin is for advanced players looking maximum spin and tension maintenance. Eco Rough, on the other hand, revolves around a more forgiving feel and spin potential.
