The HEAD Hawk Touch 200M Tennis String Reel (Anthracite) is a premium monofilament co-polyester string engineered for high-level, tournament-caliber players. Constructed using HEAD’s proprietary Crystal Core Technology, it features a flexible inner core surrounded by a durable, firm outer shell. This unique structure provides softer impact and enhanced touch compared to standard rigid polys, while retaining exceptional control and feedback on fast swings. The sleek anthracite (dark grey) cosmetic gives racquets a sophisticated, 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, full 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 / High-Volume Players: The 200m reel yields roughly 16 to 18 full restrings, making it a cost-effective bulk option for frequent string breakers.
