The HEAD Hawk Touch 16G (1.30 mm) in Anthracite is the signature dark grey edition of HEAD’s premier control and feel co-polyester monofilament. Endorsed on tour by top players like Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev, this thicker 1.30 mm gauge option is tailored for advanced tournament competitors and heavy hitters who generate their own power and require maximum durability, string bed predictability, and ball-pocketing touch.

Performance Profile

  1. Pinpoint Control & Target Placement (10/10): Exceptional. The 1.30 mm solid monofilament build allows players with fast swing speeds to take full cuts at the ball without launching strokes past the baseline.
  2. Durability & Notch Resistance (10/10): Maximum. As a 16-gauge string, it provides maximum resistance to friction wear, string movement, and premature breaking.
  3. Touch & Ball Dwell Time (9.0/10): Superior for a tour poly. Plays noticeably softer and more damp than standard HEAD Hawk, extending ball dwell time on the string bed for drop shots and touch volleys.
  4. Spin Potential (8.5/10): Natural. The smooth round profile allows main strings to snap back fluidly at contact, producing consistent topspin trajectories.

Key Technologies

  1. Crystal Core Technology: HEAD’s multi-stage heat treatment process. It engineers a larger, flexible crystalline inner core to absorb impact shock and deliver tactile feedback, surrounded by a rigid outer shell for power transmission and structural stability.
  2. Anthracite Colorway: Provides a sleek, industrial dark metallic grey cosmetic that coordinates seamlessly with modern frames (such as HEAD Speed, Gravity, Boom, or Prestige) while offering a crisp, connected impact response.
  3. 16G (1.30 mm) Diameter Profile: Maximizes string bed longevity and maintains tension stability over extended play sessions.

Best Suited For

  1. Tour & Tournament Players: Advanced competitors with fast, aggressive strokes who demand complete authority over ball depth and placement.
  2. Frequent String Breakers: Players using open string patterns or modern power racquets who snap 17G or 18G co-polys quickly.
  3. Hybrid Stringing Setups: Works exceptionally well as a smooth, durable cross string paired with a shaped poly main or a soft natural gut/multifilament main.
