Played on hard court with US Open balls.
I was amazed at how much spin I could generate with these strings. Serves were very bouncy and precise, and groundstrokes were just amazing. They were quite comfortable at 58pounds, although I might pull it less tighter for more power. Very satisfied with the strings, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a string that can generate a ton of heavy topspin. |

| 5% reduction in tension will help to get larger sweet spot plus a bit more control (I know that's ironic, but with quite good control, having a larger sweetspot might give better control). |

| Savage is quite softer than RPM. Prefer Savage over RPM. |

| Despite the pentagonal shape, Black Code did not satisfy me with regards to spin. However, it held the tension exceptionally well. I prefer Savage Black because I could generate more spin with it. |

| First, I should have strung it at a lower tension because I did not follow what Luxilon suggested: lower tension by 5-10% of my normal tension. If I had strung it at around 55-57, the feel and comfort would have been much better. I will try these strings again with lower tension because it gave me enormous amount of spin and control along with satisfying durability. |

| Savage Black, because of the thickness, has better tension stability but is worse for the arm. I would choose Savage Black over Ace. |

| Played on hard court. Quite comfortable for a poly, probably because of the thinness of the string. Because of its thin diameter, the power Ace generated was fantastic. However it took me a while to get used to this string because I had used the Luxilon Savage Black before, the diameters of the strings were quite significantly different. My serves gave heavy kick with speed; I was very satisfied. I would try these strings again after testing some other strings. Recommended to players who string the strings at high tension because it will generate enough power without low tension. |
