HEAD Lynx 17G White Tennis Strings

The HEAD Lynx 17G (1.25 mm) in White is a versatile, modern co-polyester monofilament designed for intermediate and advanced club or tournament players who play an aggressive baseline game. Engineered with a unique elastic co-polymer formulation, HEAD Lynx delivers a livelier impact response and higher arm comfort than standard, harsh polyester strings while retaining precise directional control.

The crisp White colorway gives the racquet bed a clean, classic aesthetic, while the 17 Gauge (1.25 mm) thickness offers enhanced ball deformation, higher launch angles, and quick snap-back for easy topspin generation.

Performance Profile

1. Touch & Ball Pocketing (9.5/10): Superior for a monofilament string. The elastic co-polymer additives cushion the impact, providing extended ball dwell time on the string bed for drop shots and touch volleys.
2. Control & Directional Accuracy (9.0/10): High. Delivers a predictable string bed response on aggressive full swings, allowing players to swing through the ball with depth control.
3. Arm Comfort & Shock Absorption (9.0/10): Outstanding for a poly. Reduces harsh frame vibrations on off-center hits, making it a forgiving choice for players who want poly control without joint strain.
4. Spin Potential & Snap-Back (8.5/10): Reliable. The smooth round profile minimizes friction between strings, enabling quick main-string snap-back for consistent topspin rotation.

Key Technologies

1. Elastic Co-Polymer Blend: HEAD’s specialized monofilament formulation boosts elasticity and shock dampening to provide a plush feel without giving up structural durability.
2. Smooth Round Profile: Smooth, circular outer surface allows fluid string realignment at contact, reducing friction and aiding snap-back spin.
3. 17G (1.25 mm) Profile: Delivers optimal touch and ball bite compared to thicker 16G variants, generating lively power and shot feel.

Best Suited For

1. Aggressive Intermediate & Club Competitors: Players looking for a control-oriented string that doesn't feel overly stiff or dead.
2. Players Transitioning to Polyester: Tennis players wanting to adopt polyester spin and depth control while maintaining comfort.
3. Classic White Frame Styling: Pairs seamlessly with modern racquets (like HEAD Speed, Radical, Prestige, or Boom) for a sleek, high-contrast look.
