b.b alu power vs b.b original

[jackofromalsager]

which is the best between these strings i am having a hrybrid with the orignal and i have had the alu power in the mix and that was amazing ?

I'm liking Original over Alu, but it's difficult to explain why... As far as I understand, a lot of pros have remained faithful to Original, eventhough Alu has been out for some time, already (meaning they've had the chance to try it out... Of course, a lot of pros use Alu, too).

I am STILL trying decide between these 2 strings....

I have used them both in Pure Drives and AeroPro Drives.

The ALU seems to have more POP, and I get more aces with it. Sometimes it has too much power though and shots sail.
The Original seems to cup the ball better and more consistent stringbed. The Original seems to have slightly less comfort with more vibration felt even with a dampener. The Original lasts forever and I find it hold tension VERY well, but ALU is still very long lasting and very good at tension maintenance compared to most strings.

I am starting to lean towards ALU... but now that Hurricane Tour has come out, I might be switching to that!

Traitor :mrgreen:

Edit: And, for the record, on the Original Hurricane against the New Hurricane issue, I'm with the ORIGINAL, too...

I found that the original held tension better than alu slightly and was less boardy.

Alu has better spin.

power about the same.
