Luxilon Element Rough 130 is a polyester monofilament string designed to combine comfort, control, and added spin potential through its rough surface. It delivers a smoother, more elastic response than traditional firm polys, while increasing ball bite for heavier spin.
The 1.30 mm gauge (approximately 16 gauge) emphasizes durability and stability, producing a solid, predictable feel at impact and reliable performance over longer hitting sessions.
As a polyester, Element Rough sits on the softer, more arm-friendly side of the spectrum compared to control-focused strings like 4G or Original. It offers noticeably more elasticity and shock absorption, while the rough texture enhances spin engagement without making the string feel overly stiff or harsh. This balance makes it effective in full string beds or hybrid setups where comfort and spin need to coexist.
Best for: competitive players — including college-level players — who want a more comfortable polyester with added spin, especially those training frequently or managing arm sensitivity but still needing control.
