The HEAD Hawk 200M Tennis String Reel (Black) is a high-performance monofilament co-polyester string designed for high-level intermediate, advanced, and tournament players. Utilizing HEAD’s innovative Crystal Core Technology—a multi-stage heat treatment process—Hawk features a unique balance between a rigid outer shell and a slightly dampened inner core. This delivers maximum control, exceptional durability, and high spin potential with a crisp, connected impact feel. The sleek black cosmetic adds a bold, modern look to any racquet setup.
Performance Profile
- Control & Precision: High. Designed for players with fast, full swing styles who require maximum trajectory and depth control to keep aggressive groundstrokes safely in play.
- Power: Low-to-Medium (Control-Oriented). Relies on the player's own swing speed to generate pace, preventing the ball from flying on big hits.
- Spin Potential: Very Good. The smooth outer surface allows the main strings to slide and snap back easily, helping generate heavy topspin and biting slice.
- Durability & Tension Maintenance: Excellent. Built to withstand heavy impact and frequent play without premature shearing or sudden tension loss, making it highly reliable for heavy hitters.
- Feel & Comfort: Crisp and direct. While firmer than Hawk Touch, Crystal Core Technology helps absorb harsh off-center shock better than conventional stiff co-polys.
Best Suited For
- Advanced & Tournament Players: High-level players who take big cuts at the ball and prioritize ultimate control and string bed predictability.
- Aggressive Baseliners: Big hitters with long swing paths who break softer strings quickly and need long-lasting durability.
- Heavy Spin Hitters: Players looking for reliable string snap-back to maximize ball rotation and heavy court bounce.
- Frequent Stringers / High-Volume Players: The 200m reel yields roughly 16 to 18 full restrings, making it a cost-effective bulk option for dedicated players.
