Tennis players always look for the latest and greatest equipment to give them an edge on the court. So what about Luxilon Eco Power?
Luxilon Eco Power
Luxilon, a leader in the tennis string industry, has created Luxilon Eco Power with sustainability in mind. The string is made with upcycled nylon, meaning it’s created from waste material (a combination of 90% recycled PET bottles and other plastic packing materials) that would otherwise end up in landfills. This makes Eco Power an environmentally friendly option for players who want to reduce their carbon footprint.
Eco Power has a hexagonal shape with grippy edges for extra spin. The string is ranked as medium on the firmness scale and is not for players with a tennis elbow history, but for hard-hitting attackers.
You can compare it to strings like Solinco Hyper-G and HEAD Lynx Tour.
I have a few test sets of this string in Spain and will start testing it when I return from Malta. I talk about this string in my recent Mixed bag video because I also have loads of other gear to test besides this string.
But I am curious if a sustainability-themed string can meet playability demands. If you have tried Eco Power, please feel free to comment on your experiences below.

Great content. I’d love a DR 98 revisited article. Thanks!
I got this string strung on my EZone 98 2022 – first feeling was weird and plasticky but it has amazing sound, after 2-4 hours its playing perfect with a lot of spin, it does like playing with spin and gives a lot of power so you need spin to keep it in check. I can attest to the tension maintenance as it hold extremely well after 8 hours of 4 competitive matches. Im still gonna play at least 3-4 matches with it. The only thing is a little minus is the comfort department as it is stiff (I like the feel but I don’t like the high lack of comfort). Don’t add too much pre-strach when stringing, I would say 10% should be the max.
