Lab measurements for Luxilon ECO Power 17 (1.25), ranked against all 789 strings in the database. Every figure below is a testing-machine result at a fixed reference tension, not a playtest opinion.

Measured values

Stiffness

195lb/in

lower = softer, kinder on the arm

Tension loss

35%

lower = stays where you strung it

Energy return

86%

higher = livelier, more free power

Spin potential

8.3

higher = more spin off the string bed

lower = strings slide and snap back

How it ranks against all 789 strings

Stiffness 195 lb/in · 63rd pct

Stiffer than 63% of strings tested.

Tension loss 35 % · 57th pct

Sheds more tension than 57% of strings tested.

Energy return 86 % · 31st pct

Livelier than 31% of strings tested.

Spin potential 8.3 · 97th pct

More spin potential than 97% of strings tested — elite spin generation.

Ball bite 0.512 COF · 82nd pct

Grips the ball harder than 82% of strings tested.

Snapback 0.062 COF · 1st pct

What these numbers mean

Stiffness · lb/in

How much the string bed resists deflection. Higher plays firmer and more controlled; lower plays softer and easier on the arm.

Tension loss · %

Share of the reference tension the string sheds under a fixed test protocol. Lower means the bed stays where you strung it for longer.

Energy return · %

Share of impact energy handed back to the ball. Higher plays livelier and more powerful.

Spin potential

Ball friction divided by string-on-string friction. Higher means better bite with a cleaner snapback, so more spin.

Ball bite · COF

String-on-ball friction. Higher grabs the ball harder through the brush.

Snapback · COF

String-on-string friction. Lower lets the mains slide and snap back into place after impact.
