HEAD Lynx 17G Yellow Tennis Strings

The HEAD Lynx 17G (1.25 mm) in Yellow is a high-performance co-polyester monofilament designed for intermediate to advanced tournament and club players who demand directional control, pocketing touch, and arm comfort. Finished in a high-visibility, optic-bright Yellow cosmetic, it stands out visually on court while delivering a livelier, slightly softer hitting feel compared to darker colorways.

The 17 Gauge (1.25 mm) profile offers superior ball bite, crisp tactile feedback, and quick string bed snap-back to generate consistent topspin trajectories.

Performance Profile

1. Touch & Ball Pocketing (9.5/10): Superior for a monofilament. The elastic co-polymer formulation softens impact shock, extending dwell time on the string bed for drop shots and touch volleys.
2. Control & Directional Accuracy (9.0/10): Precise. Delivers a predictable string bed response on fast swings, allowing heavy hitters to take full cuts at the ball while maintaining depth control.
3. Arm Comfort & Shock Absorption (9.0/10): Outstanding. Soft and forgiving on off-center hits compared to traditional, rigid tour polyesters.
4. Spin Access & Snap-Back (8.5/10): Reliable. The smooth round surface treatment enables fluid main-string snap-back for consistent topspin rotation.

Key Technologies

1. Elastic Co-Polymer Blend: HEAD’s proprietary monofilament additives boost string elasticity and shock absorption, providing a plush hitting feel without sacrificing poly durability.
2. Optic Yellow Finish: Features a lively yellow coating that offers maximum visual contrast against court surfaces and pairs brightly with modern frame cosmetics.
3. 17G (1.25 mm) Profile: Delivers optimal touch and ball pocketing compared to thicker 16G variants, offering an ideal balance of snap-back spin and lively power.

Best Suited For

1. Aggressive Intermediate & Advanced Competitors: Hitters seeking a reliable control string with enhanced tactile feedback and comfort.
2. Players Transitioning to Polyester: Tennis players looking for poly spin and placement without transitioning to an overly stiff or dead string bed.
3. Bright Cosmetic Matching: Pairs boldly with yellow, black, or multi-color racquets (such as the HEAD Extreme, Speed, or Radical lines).
