HEAD Lynx Touch 17G Transparent Black Tennis Strings

The HEAD Lynx Touch 17G (1.25 mm) in Transparent Black is a unique co-polyester monofilament engineered specifically for performance players seeking optimal feel, touch, and control without sacrificing spin capability. Finished in a subtle, semi-translucent Transparent Black colorway, this string features a unique multi-zone construction designed to adjust to swing speed—delivering a softer response on delicate touch shots and firm control on full baseline swings.

The 17 Gauge (1.25 mm) profile provides excellent ball bite, higher launch angle control, and responsive snap-back compared to thicker gauge options.

Performance Profile

1. Touch & Ball Dwell Time (9.5/10): Superior for a polyester string. Formulated to offer maximum pocketing and dampening, giving players enhanced control on drop shots, touch volleys, and slice placement.
2. Control & Directional Accuracy (9.0/10): High. Delivers a firm, predictable response on full swings, allowing hard hitters to keep the ball within baseline targets.
3. Arm Comfort & Shock Absorption (9.0/10): Outstanding. The softer co-polymer formulation filters out harsh frame shock, making it far more comfortable on off-center hits than standard tour polyesters.
4. Spin Access & Snap-Back (8.5/10): Precise. The smooth round monofilament outer surface allows the main strings to slide and snap back cleanly to generate consistent topspin.

Key Technologies

1. Variable Heating Process / Multi-Zone Co-Polymer Structure: Designed to alter the flex profile of the string bed based on impact force—offering a plush, cushioned feel on slow-speed touch shots and a firm, control-oriented feel on high-speed full cuts.
2. Smooth Round Monofilament Profile: Reduces inter-string friction to preserve smooth string movement and snap-back spin generation.
3. 17G (1.25 mm) Profile: Enhances string elasticity and tactile feedback compared to thicker 16G variants, offering an optimal balance of snap-back spin and feel.

Best Suited For

1. Touch-Oriented All-Court Hitters: Players who want the directional control and spin of a polyester, but rely heavily on touch shots, volleys, and precise court placement.
2. Players Transitioning to Polyester: Tennis players looking for a forgiving monofilament that won't punish the arm or shoulder.
3. Sleek Visual Matching: The semi-translucent Black cosmetic offers a clean, understated aesthetic that pairs seamlessly with HEAD Speed, Prestige, Gravity, or Boom frames.
