The HEAD Hawk 17G (1.25 mm) in Grey (also referred to as Silver or Anthracite) is a firm, tour-grade co-polyester monofilament engineered for advanced players and aggressive baseliners who possess high swing speeds. Positioned as a firmer, more explosive option than the softer Hawk Touch variant, standard HEAD Hawk in a 17 Gauge (1.25 mm) profile offers precise directional control, crisp power transfer, and spin-friendly ball bite.

Performance Profile

  1. Control & Target Placement (9.5/10): Exceptional. The firm 1.25 mm monofilament build allows players with fast swing paths to take full cuts at the ball while maintaining strict trajectory control.
  2. Spin Access & String Snap-Back (9.0/10): Superior. The 17G profile bites effectively into the ball surface, while its slick coating allows the main strings to snap back fluidly for heavy topspin rotation.
  3. Energy Transfer & Power (8.5/10): Responsive. Provides livelier pop and energy return than traditional dead-feeling polyesters without compromising control.
  4. Tension Stability & Durability (8.5/10): Strong. Offers dependable 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 engineers a rigid outer shell for energy efficiency alongside a flexible crystalline inner core to absorb harsh impact shock and enhance touch.
  2. 17G (1.25 mm) Profile: A versatile gauge that maximizes ball bite, launch angle, and spin potential compared to thicker 16G options.
  3. Low-Friction Outer Surface: Reduces friction where main and cross strings intersect, enabling snappy snap-back for added RPMs.

Best Suited For

  1. Tournament & High-Level Hitters: Advanced players who generate their own power and need pinpoint accuracy on aggressive baseline shots.
  2. Topspin-Oriented Baseline Players: Hitters looking to pair high head speed with maximum snap-back spin.
  3. Hybrid Setups: Functions exceptionally well as a crisp main or cross string when paired with natural gut or soft multifilaments.
