Power-Burst Racquet String
Sport: Tennis
Color: Silver
Gauge: 16L / 1.25mm
Resiliency: R-5.5
Durability: D-8.5
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
- Prince Beast XP
I strung my racquet with these as my main at 56lbs and spin max 17 at 54lbs as my crosses. I'm seeing very good power and control, especially on my serve. I have about as much pop on my serve as I ever had and I'm getting good action on my second serve. I feel like I can place the ball much better than when I was using a full bed of spin max 17.
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.
