The Luxilon Eco Power tennis string is made entirely from 100% recycled materials, Eco Power brings Luxilon’s trademark control and spin to a new level of sustainability. Designed for modern baseliners, it offers a firm, connected response with an impressive blend of power, control, and spin, while maintaining Luxilon’s familiar feel.
Quick verdict
Luxilon Eco Power Green tennis string delivers explosive spin and dependable control, all wrapped in a firmer, precise response. The hexagonal shape bites into the ball for heavy topspin and confident trajectory control, while its solid feel gives excellent feedback on every strike. It’s not a comfort poly, but for players who like to swing big and play aggressively, Eco Power offers the precision and stability you expect from a Luxilon string.
What the numbers and lab tests say
Lab results show that Eco Power excels in spin (100%), resilience (100%), and power (95%) — confirming that it’s a lively, aggressive poly with serious bite. Control (95%) is equally strong, making it a reliable choice for advanced players seeking accuracy on big swings.
The weaker areas are tension holding (60%) and elasticity (55%), meaning it’s not as long-lasting in feel as Luxilon’s 4G or ALU Power, and it plays firmer than softer polys. Stability (70%) and comfort (65%) are respectable for a shaped string, offering a slightly more forgiving response than some other firm Luxilon models.
👉 Overall, Eco Power blends spin, pop, and precision better than most eco-friendly alternatives, though regular restringing helps maintain its peak performance.
How it plays (feel, spin, power, control)
On court, Luxilon Eco Power tennis string feels unmistakably Luxilon — crisp, firm, and solid. The hexagonal profile grips the ball beautifully, generating heavy topspin and strong kick on serves. From the baseline, it delivers controlled power with just the right amount of depth, while volleys and slices stay sharp and predictable.
This is a string that rewards full, confident swings — the more you commit, the more it gives back. It’s precise, lively, and consistent, offering a performance feel that encourages aggressive, attacking tennis.
Durability & tension maintenance
Eco Power performs solidly for a shaped poly, but tension holding (60%) is its main drawback. It maintains consistency for the first 8–10 hours, after which it gradually softens and loses a bit of control.
That said, the spin and feel remain stable for most of its lifespan, thanks to its slick coating and durable construction. It doesn’t notch too quickly, and snapback stays functional even after extended use.
👉 Overall: Expect great initial performance and a predictable decline — ideal for players who restring regularly or play with multiple racquets. See my guide here on choosing the right tennis string tension.
Who it suits
Best For:
- Aggressive baseliners who want maximum spin and precision
- Players who value crisp feedback and strong control
- Environmentally conscious players seeking top-tier performance
Not For:
- Beginners or players needing easy power and comfort
- Anyone with arm issues or preferring a plush, soft response
- Players who don’t restring often — tension drop will be noticeable
Best suited racquets
Luxilon Eco Power tennis string works best with modern spin and control-oriented frames that reward aggressive play. It’s a great match for open-pattern racquets that emphasize topspin and trajectory control.
It adds bite and liveliness to racquets like the Babolat Pure Aero, Head Extreme MP, and Yonex VCORE 100, while bringing extra pop to control frames like the Wilson Blade 98 and Yonex Percept 97. For all-round racquets such as the Clash 100 or Ezone 100, it helps maintain control while sharpening ball feedback.
🎾 Luxilon Eco Power Racquet Pairing Guide
| Racquet Type / Feature | Why Eco Power Works | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Spin-Focused Frames (Pure Aero, Extreme MP, VCORE 100) | Hexagonal shape enhances spin and dip for aggressive topspin hitters | Drop tension slightly (1–2 lbs) for better pocketing |
| Control / Precision Frames (Blade 98, Percept 97, Prestige Tour) | Adds bite and liveliness without overpowering the frame | May feel firm — hybrids help add comfort |
| All-Court / Tweener Frames (Clash 100, Ezone 100) | Balances power and control, keeps trajectory consistent | Can firm up the feel — consider lower tension |
Comparable strings
If you’re considering Luxilon Eco Power tennis string, you might also look at:
- Mayami Tour Hex Blue 1.23 – Softer feel and smoother feedback, but slightly less spin bite.
- Restring Zero 1.23 – Better tension holding and control, but less raw power.
- Head Lynx Tour 1.25 Champagne – Similar control and spin but with a more forgiving, stable feel.
👉 In short: Eco Power stands out for its crisp response, heavy spin, and environmental innovation — a serious performer that doesn’t compromise on feel.
Practible recommendations
Tension: Start at 48–52 lbs depending on preference. Lower tension (48–50 lbs) opens up power and comfort; higher (52–54 lbs) tightens control.
Gauge: 1.25mm offers an ideal mix of spin and durability; go thinner (1.20mm) for more bite or thicker (1.30mm) for endurance.
Hybrid Setup: Pair with a softer cross (synthetic gut or multifilament) for added comfort.
Restringing: Expect consistent play for about 8–12 hours of hitting — restring more frequently for optimal control.
