I bought a packet of Alu power lime 1.25 because I figured it's something all tennis players and string enthusiasts should try at least once, even though I typically gravitate towards shaped polys. I was blown away and totally understood why Sampras called them "cheatilon", because that's how it felt.
But, I thought before I bought a reel that costs more than a new tennis racket, I should try them again with a single packet.
This time they're like a totally different string. The low launch angle that would guaranty the ball dropped one foot inside the baseline everytime has been changed to higher (though be it more topspin heavy) launch angle. The laser like slices of the first set have to reigned in to stop them from floating long.
Basically they're behaving like a shaped poly. They're not bad, but when I first used them I totally became a round poly convert, now I'm just confused.
Anyone have similar experiences with luxilon, or any other brands for that matter? Are strings prone to quality control issues like tennis rackets?
