The HEAD Hawk Touch 16G (1.30 mm) in Black is the thickest gauge offering in HEAD's flagship control-oriented co-poly line. Designed for advanced tournament players, heavy hitters, and frequent string breakers who supply their own speed and power, it maximizes string bed durability, directional control, and ball pocketing feel.

Performance Profile

  1. Control & Target Placement (10/10): Maximum. The dense, 1.30 mm solid monofilament construction allows hard hitters to swing aggressively without fear of launching groundstrokes past the baseline.
  2. Durability & Notch Resistance (10/10): Exceptional. As a 16-gauge (1.30 mm) string, it provides resistance to notch wear and premature breakage, outlasting thinner 17G or 18G options.
  3. Touch & Ball Dwell Time (9.0/10): Outstanding for a tour poly. Softer and more shock-dampened than original HEAD Hawk, giving players high tactile feedback on drop shots and touch volleys.
  4. Spin Potential (8.5/10): Natural. Its smooth round profile facilitates fluid snap-back of the main strings at contact to generate heavy topspin.

Key Technologies

  1. Crystal Core Technology: A proprietary multistage heat-treatment process that engineers distinct physical properties into different layers of the co-poly string. A rigid outer shell delivers energy efficiency and structural stability, while a more flexible inner core acts as a dampener to absorb harsh impact shock.
  2. 16G (1.30 mm) Diameter Profile: Provides maximum string longevity and a firm, predictable impact feel, stabilizing the string bed on off-center contacts.

Best Suited For

  1. Heavy-Hitting Advanced Competitors: Tour and tournament-level players with full, high-speed swings looking for precise shot control.
  2. Frequent String Breakers: Players using open string patterns or modern power frames (such as HEAD Speed, Boom, or Extreme lines) who snap thinner gauges rapidly.
  3. Control Hybrid Setup: Functions as an ideal smooth cross string when paired with a shaped poly or multifilament main string.
