Bryan Brothers Get Strung Up With Luxilon

The #1 doubles team in the world, Mike and Bob Bryan have signed an exclusive deal to use Luxilon Big Banger ALU Power Rough 125 exclusively.

Luxilon's ALU-Power string combines great durability with impressive power and good control — a Luxilonbigbanger popular string on the ATP Tour. The co-polyester monofilament construction allows a player to take full cuts at the ball without any loss of control. Players with fast swing speeds also tend to find these strings very spin friendly.

Fans will see the Bryan brothers with their Luxilon string at this year’s US Open, as they go for their second Grand Slam title in 2009.

If you're looking for a string with an excellent response and good energy return, you might consider getting strung up with Big Banger yourself.

Available online at Tennis Warehouse.

RECOIL: The Future of String is Here

Imagine being able to strike every ball, on every point, of every match with the exact same, perfectRecoil_1_small string alignment, time, after time.  Proper string alignment is something all serious players want and the reason they fix their strings after each point. 

That's right, the days of string-a-lings may be gone.

After three years of careful laboratory development and extensive playtesting, Prince, in partnership with W.L Gore and Associates (creators of GoreTex) is proud to officially unveil RECOIL, a premier string that delivers precise string realignment after every shot, ultimate control, superior playability and long-lasting performance.

Here's how it works: RECOIL utilizes a revolutionary coating called Gore MicroWeb Technology, a material made from a proprietary formulation of expanded polyTetraflourothylene (ePTFE).  This coating provides an ultra-low friction surface, creating a combination of benefits never before achieved in string playability and design, including precise string realignment and drastically reduced string notching for increased durability.  In addition, RECOIL’s advanced thermoplastic core and multi-layered construction with new high tenacity filaments provide the extra comfort and better feel players want from their string. 

RECOIL has already been playtested by a number of ATP and WTA and junior players and will be available to consumers worldwide beginning January 2008.

Players can find additional information, regarding RECOIL on www.princetennis.com.
