The HEAD Hawk Touch Rough 16G (1.30 mm) in Black combines the soft, damp feel and exceptional control of the Hawk Touch line with a textured, micro-grooved outer surface. Engineered for advanced, high-level versatile competitors and heavy baseline hitters, this string increases friction at impact to grip the tennis ball for enhanced spin access and precision trajectory control.

Constructed at a durable 16 Gauge (1.30 mm) thickness, it offers maximum string bed longevity, high notch resistance, and consistent playability over long sessions.

Performance Profile

  1. Spin Potential & Ball Bite (9.5/10): Superior. The textured outer finish bites into the felt at contact, producing high launch angles and heavy topspin rotation.
  2. Control & Precision (9.5/10): Outstanding. Allows hard hitters with fast swing speeds to swing out fully while keeping the ball safely within the court boundaries.
  3. Durability & Wear Resistance (9.5/10): High. The 1.30 mm gauge profile resists notch wear and premature breaking, making it ideal for open string patterns.
  4. Touch & Ball Pocketing (9.0/10): Excellent for a textured tour poly. Retains the signature cushioned, damp feel of Hawk Touch to enhance feedback on drop shots and touch volleys.

Key Technologies

  1. Crystal Core Technology: HEAD’s proprietary multi-stage heat treatment process. It engineers a flexible crystalline inner core to absorb harsh impact shock while maintaining a rigid outer shell for structural energy transfer.
  2. Textured / Rough Surface Treatment: Adds a rough, micro-grooved outer texture that enhances string-to-ball friction to generate extra RPMs.
  3. 16G (1.30 mm) Profile: Maximizes string bed longevity and maintains tension stability over extended play sessions.

Best Suited For

  1. Advanced Topspin Players: High-level competitors who need maximum spin generation alongside tour-level control.
  2. Frequent String Breakers: Players using modern spin frames who break 17G or 18G strings rapidly.
  3. Hybrid String Setups: Works exceptionally well as a textured main string paired with a smooth cross string for snap-back action.
