Luxilon's 20th anniversary string is bright purple... What rackets would it go with?

I'd like to see that purple people eater in a Head Graphene Radical. Something about Orange and Purple always seems right to me! Then again I wear Nike clothes so you know I don't give a F!
 
Has the formula changed at all over the years or is it still the exact same string?


Yes. I think Big Banger was their original string that came out 20 years ago. The string they are using as the anniversary string is Alu Power. It's still old.....but I'm pretty sure it's not 20 years old; maybe 12-15 years old for alu power. It's still the same...and the one most polys compare themselves to.

purple O ring luxilon big banger still have this set from 20 yrs. ago. It's in the original package.
YOu can see some paint spackles on the package, from when the wall above was rollered. That was when luxilon put purple o ring dameners with every set. A vibra stopper they called it. Berdych will only use the purple. It's the only surviving set of orig. alu in the entire world.

Yeah, ALU Power is over 20 years old. Guga used it to win the French Open in 1997. He used the classic silver string before it was popular. Original Big Banger came out in 1991. Alu Power came out in 1994.

I think I may have to get a set for one of my HEAD Elite Pros. The emerald green finish with purple string with have a cool Green Goblin vibe.
 
That's up to you. I was disappointed that it wasn't the same as silver ALU. It's decent..... It's just not ALU Power special.

I almost accidentally ordered the purple, glad I caught it and ordered the original silver which is the best.
 
And whats the difference between the purple and silver types?

It must be the people dye. Didn't seem to have the same slickness, ball pocketing, spin, etc. It wasn't a bad sitting by any means. But silver Alu Power is a special string when it's freshly strung. The purple version didn't have that feeling.

if they made one the same electric blue color of the Pro Tour, I think it will rock

Solinco Revolution comes to mind :/
 
Now to think of it, more of a highlight yellow like Polyfibre TCS could do amazing with the electric blue, and to match Guga's famous RG Shirt lol
