Description
The Luxilon Eco Rough 125 is a game-changing tennis string that combines high-performance playability with environmental responsibility. Made from 100% recycled materials including PET bottles and packaging displays, this string proves that sustainability and professional-level performance can go hand in hand. For players across India who care about their game and the planet, this is the perfect choice.
What makes Luxilon Eco Rough 125 truly unique is its innovative dented surface design. The string features indentations at 45-degree angles on both sides, creating a diamond-shaped profile that grips the ball exceptionally well. This textured tennis string delivers the spin, feel, and control that competitive players demand while offering a softer, more forgiving response on every shot.
WHY LUXILON ECO ROUGH 125 STANDS OUT FROM OTHER STRINGS
Luxilon has been the leading brand in professional tennis strings for decades, trusted by over 60% of ATP and WTA top 100 players. The Eco Rough brings that same Belgian engineering excellence to environmentally conscious players.
Sustainable Manufacturing Process
This eco-friendly tennis string represents Luxilon’s commitment to reducing environmental impact. The string is composed of 90% recycled plastic PET bottles and 10% other recycled packaging materials. Even more impressive, Luxilon’s factory in Belgium runs on 100% solar power, making this one of the most sustainably produced tennis strings available. For players who want to make responsible choices without sacrificing performance, this Luxilon Tennis String Reel delivers on both fronts.
Diamond-Shaped Profile for Maximum Spin
The unique oval shape with dented surfaces creates more edges to grip the ball during contact. This design enhances spin potential by increasing RPMs without requiring players to alter their swing mechanics. Whether you hit heavy topspin groundstrokes or kick serves, the Luxilon Eco Rough 125 helps generate extra rotation that makes your shots more effective and harder to return.
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF LUXILON ECO ROUGH 125
Understanding how this string performs helps players make confident purchasing decisions.
Soft and Forgiving Feel
Unlike traditional polyester strings that feel stiff and harsh, this soft poly tennis string provides surprising comfort. The dented surface increases flexibility, allowing the string bed to pocket the ball more effectively. Players experience a plush feel at contact without the dead, boardy sensation common with many poly strings. This makes the Luxilon Eco Rough 125 suitable for longer practice sessions and competitive matches where arm fatigue becomes a factor.
Arm-Friendly Playability
One of the biggest advantages of this recycled tennis string is its arm-friendly tennis string characteristics. The increased flexibility from the dented construction reduces shock transmission to the elbow and wrist. Players with a history of tennis elbow or those looking to prevent arm injuries will appreciate this gentler response. You get polyester durability and spin without punishing your joints.
Excellent Tension Maintenance
Despite its softer feel, the Luxilon Eco Rough 125 maintains tension remarkably well. The larger surface area created by the diamond shape distributes stress more evenly across the string, extending playability life. Players report consistent performance for 15-20 hours of play before noticeable tension drop, which is impressive for a textured poly string.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
This tennis string 200m reel provides enough length for approximately 16-17 full racquet restrings, making it excellent value for regular players, coaches, and stringers.

LUXILON ECO ROUGH 125 – IDEAL PLAYER PROFILE
Not every string suits every player. Understanding who benefits most from this spin tennis string ensures the right match.
Best Suited For
- Intermediate to advanced players seeking spin and control
- Players with arm sensitivity who still want polyester performance
- Environmentally conscious players wanting sustainable options
- Baseliners who rely on heavy topspin groundstrokes
- All-court players needing versatile string response
- Stringers and coaches looking for quality reel options
Playing Style Compatibility
The Luxilon Eco Rough 125 works exceptionally well for aggressive baseliners who generate their own power and need spin to keep shots inside the lines. It pairs beautifully with control-oriented racquets where added spin potential enhances overall playability. Players using power racquets may want to increase tension slightly to tame the lively response.
STRINGING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INDIAN CONDITIONS
Hot and humid conditions across India affect string performance significantly. Here’s how to optimize your Luxilon string India setup.
Recommended Tension Range
For most players, stringing between 50-55 lbs provides optimal balance of spin, power, and control. In hot conditions common in Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and Kolkata, strings play looser, so starting at the higher end helps maintain consistent feel throughout your session.
- For maximum spin and power: 48-50 lbs
- For balanced performance: 50-53 lbs
- For more control: 54-56 lbs
Hybrid Setup Options
The Luxilon Eco Rough 125 works excellently in hybrid configurations. Use it in the mains with a softer synthetic gut or multifilament cross for enhanced comfort and feel. Alternatively, pair it with natural gut mains for a premium setup that maximizes both spin and comfort.
COMPARING WITH OTHER LUXILON STRINGS
Understanding where Eco Rough fits in the Luxilon lineup helps players choose wisely.
The Luxilon Eco Rough 125 sits in a unique position within the range. Compared to ALU Power Rough, it offers a softer, more forgiving feel with similar spin characteristics. Against Eco Power, it provides more texture and spin potential with a gentler response. For players who found standard Luxilon polys too firm but want more bite than Eco Power offers, this textured tennis string hits the sweet spot perfectly.
