Solinco Tour Bite 17 vs. Luxilon Big Banger ALU Power Rough?

jaydog23 · 02-06-2013, 05:18 PM

I was just reading another thread, in which a hall of fame member described the Rough as "fabulously crisp." I have absolutely zero idea what that means. So in layman's terms, if possible, can someone please described to me the differences between these two strings? Thanks.

Simple answer. TB will retain tension much longer. All the Luxilon BB strings I've used perform great for about 2 hours then it seems like they never settle on a tension. I guess that's why they are so popular on tour because restringing often is a no issue. TB is a really good string IMHO and also cheaper for the common man.

So what does fabulously crisp mean? Hear that a lot too.
