The HEAD Lynx Power 17G (1.25 mm) in Silver (often styled as Platinum Silver) is a high-performance co-polyester monofilament designed for intermediate to advanced aggressive baseliners. Formulated with a lively co-polymer blend, it bridges the gap between traditional dead-feeling control polys and crisp power strings, delivering explosive energy return without giving up directional accuracy or pocketing feel.
The 17-gauge (1.25 mm) profile adds string bed elasticity and bite, producing higher launch angles and easy access to spin compared to thicker 16G variants.
Performance Profile
- Explosive Power & Energy Return (9.5/10): High for a poly. Delivers punchier depth on groundstrokes, allowing players to redirect pace with confidence.
- Impact Comfort & Shock Protection (9.0/10): Outstanding. Engineered to absorb harsh impact shock, offering a plush, low-vibration hitting experience that reduces arm strain.
- Spin Access & String Snap-Back (8.5/10): Excellent. Its slick surface treatment allows the main strings to slide and snap back fluidly at contact for reliable rotation.
- Control & Ball Dwell Time (8.5/10): Precise. Combines poly control with enhanced ball pocketing to help target lines on aggressive full swings.
Key Technologies
- Lively Co-Polymer Blend: Formulated to enhance energy transfer, giving players deeper, faster shots while retaining predictable response.
- Vibration-Dampening Core: Reduces high-frequency frame feedback on off-center hits, protecting developing joints during extended baseline sessions.
- 17G (1.25 mm) Profile: A versatile gauge that maximizes ball bite, launch angle, and spin potential while maintaining strong structural durability.
Best Suited For
- Aggressive Intermediate & Advanced Hitters: Players looking for a crisper, livelier poly that offers extra pop on groundstrokes.
- Players Transitioning to Polyester: Tennis players looking for modern poly control and spin without transitioning to a stiff, harsh string bed.
- Mid-to-Heavy Frame Racquets: Pairs cleanly with control-oriented or modern power frames (such as HEAD Speed, Prestige, Boom, or Radical) to add lively feedback and extra depth.
