The HEAD Lynx 17G (1.25 mm) in Blue is a high-performance co-polyester monofilament engineered for intermediate to advanced tournament and club players who want control, touch, and spin without subjecting their arm to a rigid, harsh feel. Offered in a vivid Blue cosmetic, it adds a crisp, high-contrast visual to the string bed while delivering a livelier and slightly softer impact response than standard tour-level polyester strings.

The 17 Gauge (1.25 mm) thickness provides excellent ball bite, higher launch angles, and quick snap-back to generate consistent topspin trajectories.

Performance Profile

  1. Touch & Ball Pocketing (9.5/10): Superior for a monofilament string. The elastic co-polymer blend dampens harsh impact shock, extending dwell time on the string bed for feel on drop shots and touch volleys.
  2. Control & Directional Accuracy (9.0/10): Precise. Delivers a predictable string bed response on fast swings, allowing aggressive baseline players to take full cuts at the ball while managing depth.
  3. Arm Comfort & Shock Absorption (9.0/10): Outstanding. Smooth and forgiving on off-center hits compared to stiffer polyester options, helping to reduce joint fatigue.
  4. Spin Access & Snap-Back (8.5/10): Reliable. Its smooth round surface treatment enables main strings to slide and snap back fluidly for consistent topspin rotation.

Key Technologies

  1. Elastic Co-Polymer Blend: HEAD’s specialized monofilament formulation boosts elasticity and shock absorption, providing a plush hitting feel while retaining structural durability.
  2. Vivid Blue Finish: Features a deep blue coating that provides high visual contrast on court and matches cleanly with modern frame graphics.
  3. 17G (1.25 mm) Profile: Delivers optimal touch and ball pocketing compared to thicker 16G (1.30 mm) options, balancing snap-back spin and lively power transfer.

Best Suited For

  1. Aggressive Intermediate & Advanced Competitors: Hitters seeking a reliable control string with enhanced tactile feedback and arm-friendly comfort.
  2. Players Transitioning to Polyester: Tennis players looking for polyester spin and placement without adopting a stiff or dead string bed.
  3. Frame Cosmetic Matching: Pairs dynamically with blue, black, or multi-color racquets (such as the HEAD Instinct, Speed, or Boom lines).
