WILSON Duo Tennis String - Set, Yellow, Bronze and Grey

This is a perfect setup that will give you unbelievable control and feel.Note: if you buy the Luxilon string itself on the packaging it tells you to reduce the tension of these poly strings by 10% all the pro stringers do this or the racquet feels stiff. I did 54 on the Main NXT string and 50 on the cross Luxilon strings and comes out perfect.At the tennis stringing shop if a kid or someone rushing is doing it, they will not know or take the time to readjust the tension on the machine just for the cross strings. This is why some of the comments here complain about the strings being stiff.

Softer on the arm than full poly bed. NXT frays badly quickly and becomes relatively mushy.

This string had stiff competition to compare with since I usually use natural gut and ALU Power on my other racquets.I put natural guts in the main usually and ALU power in the crosses. I wanted to see how much difference I could feel usingthis strings instead. With these strings, I put power ALU in the crosses and NXT in the mains. First impressions were not strong, but after getting more used to these strings the feel of the Wilson DUO did start to bleed through, but it took a few sessions for me to adjust to them. I do recommend them although they aren't as good as the real gut. I will get them again. I put them on a HEAD Instinct 360 Graphene 2020 model. Very good pop on the serve, spin and control. I "tensioned" in the lower 50s. These strings did not limit my game but again I had to adjust to them a bit. It can take a bit of time so be patient, but you can save some money here if desired. Just adding a follow-up that the strings lost their pop and vibrant feel about 3 months later in my hands. When they went--they went!

The hybrid allows you to get extra life out of the strings vs just nxt.

Starting fraying after a few sessions and aggravated my tennis elbow.

Love to have the option of buying a hybrid package of strings. I was familiar with ALU Power and really liked it, but I thought it was a little too hard on my elbow and wrist. I strung this combo on my Wilson Blade with NXT on the mains and ALU Power on the crosses, both strung at 54 lbs., and so far they feel really good on my elbow and have nice feel to it.From the manufacturer: "To emphasize control, spin and durability, put ALU Power in the mains. To emphasize comfort, feel and power, put Wilson NXT Power in the mains".

I have been using this blend for over 10 years now and it's been amazing! Usually 55lbs main and 53lbs cross works well for me. For me, playing 1-2x a week, these last a while. I'm not someone that needs the strings to be fresh all the time.I recently tried Wilson Comfort strings for elbow relief but it failed to live up to any expectations. So I came back to this.

I only played with these strings 5 times before they started to fray. I would not recommend as they are not durable enough at all to get your money's worth.
