The HEAD Hawk 17G (1.25 mm) in Black is a firm, tour-grade co-polyester monofilament engineered for high-level players and aggressive baseliners who generate high swing speeds. Positioned as the original, firmer, and more explosive counterpart to the softer Hawk Touch line, standard HEAD Hawk in a 17 Gauge (1.25 mm) profile offers an optimal balance of directional control, explosive energy return, and crisp, spin-friendly bite.

Performance Profile

  1. Control & Precision (9.5/10): Superior. Offers a firm, predictable string bed response that allows hard hitters to swing out aggressively while keeping shots within the baseline.
  2. Explosive Energy Return (9.0/10): High for a tour poly. Provides punchier pop and energy efficiency compared to standard dead-feeling polyesters.
  3. Spin Access & Snap-Back (9.0/10): Excellent. The 1.25 mm gauge allows for enhanced string bed deformation and fluid snap-back to generate heavy topspin.
  4. Tension Stability & Durability (8.5/10): Reliable. Offers strong resistance to notch wear and maintains playable string bed tension over extended sessions.

Key Technologies

  1. Crystal Core Technology: HEAD’s proprietary multi-stage heat manufacturing process. It manipulates the molecular structure to create a rigid, energy-efficient outer shell for explosive power alongside a cushioned crystalline inner core for shock absorption and tactile feel.
  2. 17G (1.25 mm) Gauge: Provides crisp ball feedback, easy spin generation, and higher launch angles compared to thicker 16G variants.
  3. Slick Outer Surface: Reduces friction between main and cross strings, maximizing string snap-back for heavy ball rotation.

Best Suited For

  1. Advanced & Tournament Players: High-level competitors who need precise control on fast, full swings.
  2. Aggressive Topspin Hitters: Baseline players looking to combine heavy rotation with crisp shot acceleration.
  3. Hybrid Setups: Functions exceptionally as a smooth, crisp main or cross string when paired with natural gut or soft multifilaments.
