The HEAD Hawk Power 17G (1.25 mm) in Petrol is a high-performance co-polyester monofilament engineered for advanced and high-performance players who want to inject explosive energy and depth into their shots without giving up control. Finished in a striking, deep turquoise-blue Petrol colorway, this string bridges the gap between traditional dead control polys and lively power strings, offering a uniquely forgiving response on off-center hits.
Performance Profile
- Explosive Power & Energy Return (9.5/10): Exceptional for a polyester string. Formulated to provide extra pop and depth, allowing players to dictate play and finish points aggressively.
- Sweet Spot & Off-Center Forgiveness (9.0/10): High. Features a more forgiving impact feel than traditional stiff tour polys, expanding the effective hitting area for cleaner play on slight mis-hits.
- Tension Maintenance (9.0/10): Outstanding. Engineered specifically to combat the rapid tension loss common in standard co-polys, ensuring a consistent string bed feel over longer periods of play.
- Spin Access & Control (8.5/10): Precise. The smooth round monofilament design allows for fluid string movement and snap-back, maintaining reliable directional accuracy on topspin groundstrokes.
Key Technologies
