The HEAD Lynx 17G (1.25 mm) in Red is a versatile, modern co-polyester monofilament engineered for intermediate to advanced tournament players. Crafted with a specialized elastic co-polymer blend, it bridges the gap between stiff, dead-feeling polyester control strings and livelier power strings.

The bold Red cosmetic delivers a striking visual presence on court, while the 17 Gauge (1.25 mm) thickness offers enhanced ball pocketing, snap-back spin, and a crisp, responsive feel compared to thicker 16G options.

Performance Profile

  1. Touch & Ball Pocketing (9.5/10): Superior for a monofilament. The elastic co-polymer formulation softens the impact, extending ball dwell time on the string bed for enhanced drop-shot and volley touch.
  2. Control & Precision (9.0/10): Precise. Offers predictable, low-powered string bed response on aggressive full swings, keeping groundstrokes safely within court boundaries.
  3. Arm Comfort & Shock Absorption (9.0/10): Outstanding. Noticeably softer and more forgiving on off-center hits than standard firm polyesters, reducing joint strain.
  4. Spin Access & Snap-Back (8.5/10): Reliable. The smooth round outer surface facilitates fluid string movement and quick main-string snap-back for consistent topspin rotation.

Key Technologies

  1. Elastic Co-Polymer Blend: HEAD's proprietary construction additives increase string elasticity and shock absorption, generating a livelier, plush feel while preserving poly durability.
  2. Smooth Round Profile: Minimizes inter-string friction, allowing main strings to slide and snap back smoothly during off-center and topspin strikes.
  3. 17G (1.25 mm) Gauge: Provides a crisp, connected response with improved bite and launch angle compared to thicker 1.30 mm options.

Best Suited For

  1. Intermediate to Advanced Competitors: Hitters seeking a reliable control string with enhanced tactile feedback and comfort.
  2. Players Transitioning to Polyester: Tennis players looking to adopt polyester control and spin without transitioning directly to a harsh, ultra-stiff string bed.
  3. Red Cosmetic Matching: Pairs boldly with red or black racquets (such as the HEAD Prestige or Radical lines) for a standout string bed look.
