Power-Burst Racquet String

General Info:
The most popular type of string on the tour increases power, pace and spin without loss of control. Use as the main string in a hybrid for longer string life.
Benefits:
Allows a player to take full strokes at the ball without loss of control. Does not move so strings stay straight and last longer. As an alternative to stringing the entire racquet with Power-Burst, reduce the stiffness of the string bed without sacrificing power by hybriding the mains with Power-Burst and the crosses with 17 gauge Zyex, Titanium Elite or Syn. Gut Ultra-Fibre. Visit our Ultimate Hybrid page for our pre-packaged hybrid of Power-Burst / Zyex 17.
Player Type:
Competitive, hard-hitting, topspin player who needs performance and durability.
Construction:
Heat-treated premium polyester and co-polymer monofilament. The same type of string as Big Banger ALU Power.
Brand Name Comparison:
- Luxilon Big Banger ALU Power

My 15 yr old son really likes playing with power burst. He is a hard hitter with lots of top spin. He compared it with other well known strings and he said that power burst keeps the tension well, easy on the elbow, with lot of power and control. His string tension is about 50 lbs which is lower than other strings and it works well for him at lower tension. Of course everyone is a little different and you will have to try out different tension in order to find the best fit for you.
I string my own racquet so I really appreciate the extra length. (44' vs 40').
Makes the job much easier and lessens the chance for errors.
Quality of the string is very good, with good feel for the ball.
