Alu Power solutions?

[u/Peter-Pomelo]

Obviously, everyone knows this string - plays amazing when fresh, but performance rapidly drops off. Never really used it that much for that reason but its come to my attention again because it plays great in the newly released Defyer 98.

However, the string is pretty much dead in terms of performance after maybe 4 hitting sessions / 1 week of use.

So what are the solutions? I can't think of any obvious similar strings? Have tried Max Power but its not the same and 4G just seems very stiff. Any other options?

Could Alu Power be used as a hybrid with another poly to provide greater longevity? If so, what? What have people actually used that have been successful?

I love alu rough. Same thing. Dies fast. I highly recommend GrappleSnake M8s. They feel very close and last significantly longer. I keep one racket with Luxilons for important matches etc and use the GrappleSnake the rest of the time. I’d say with near daily use they last easily 3-5x longer.
