The HEAD Hawk Touch 120M Tennis String Reel (Anthracite) is a flagship monofilament co-polyester string engineered for high-level, tournament-caliber players. Constructed using HEAD’s proprietary Crystal Core Technology, it pairs a flexible inner core with a firm outer shell. This design provides softer impact and enhanced touch compared to standard rigid polys, while retaining exceptional control and feedback on fast swings. The dark anthracite colorway gives racquets a sleek, stealthy look.
Performance Profile
- Control & Touch: Superior. Built for players who supply their own pace, offering precise depth management, delicate drop-shot touch, and clear feedback.
- Comfort & Elasticity: Higher than traditional polyesters. The pliable inner core dampens harsh vibrations, giving it a more arm-friendly feel without feeling mushy.
- Power: Low-to-Medium (Control-Oriented). The low-powered response allows aggressive hitters to take fast cuts at the ball without fear of overhitting.
- Spin Potential: Good. Its smooth outer monofilament surface facilitates reliable string snap-back for topspin and slice.
- Tension Maintenance: Excellent. Maintains its playable feel and structural integrity well over repeated heavy-hitting sessions.
Best Suited For
- Advanced & Tournament Competitors: Experienced players seeking pinpoint accuracy and precise ball feedback on big swings.
- Aggressive Baseline & All-Court Hitters: High-swing-speed players who need maximum control to keep powerful groundstrokes inside the lines.
- Poly Hitters Needing Ball Pocketing: Monofilament users looking for improved dwell time and arm comfort compared to ultra-stiff, boardy co-polys.
- Frequent Stringers: The 120m compact reel yields approximately 10 full restrings, making it an efficient choice for regular string maintenance.
