The HEAD Lynx Tour 16G (1.30 mm) in Champagne is a heavy-duty, 6-sided (hexagonal) co-polyester monofilament designed for advanced, aggressive baseline players who produce high swing speeds. The Champagne (metallic gold/bronze) cosmetic provides a refined aesthetic on court, while the thicker 16 Gauge (1.30 mm) profile provides maximum structural durability, high directional control, and enhanced tension maintenance compared to thinner 17G variants.
Performance Profile
- Control & Directional Accuracy (9.5/10): Superior. The firm string bed response prevents overhitting, allowing big hitters to take full, aggressive cuts with total confidence in ball placement.
- Spin Potential & Ball Bite (9.5/10): Outstanding. The sharp 6-sided geometric profile grips the felt at impact, creating massive rotational bite and steep downward trajectories.
- Tension Stability & Durability (9.5/10): Exceptional. The 1.30 mm thickness offers maximal resistance to notch wear and holds playable tension far longer than standard co-polyester strings.
- Touch & Dwell Time (8.0/10): Firm & Predictable. Offers a connected, tour-level feedback that prioritizes control over extreme plushness or easy power.
Key Technologies
- 6-Sided Hexagonal Geometry: Sharp outer edges dig into the ball at contact, maximizing main-string deflection and bite for heavy topspin rotation.
- Tour Co-Polymer Formulation: Designed to optimize energy retention, offering predictable dampening without feeling harsh on clean strikes.
- 16G (1.30 mm) Heavy Profile: Delivers optimal durability and friction resistance, making it ideal for string-breakers and dense string patterns (18x20).
Best Suited For
- Heavy Topspin Baseline Players: Tournament and high-level club players with fast, full swings looking to shape the ball with spin and control depth.
- Frequent String Breakers: Players who notch through thinner 17G or 18G monofilaments quickly.
- 18x20 & Open-Pattern Frames: Pairs exceptionally well with control or power frames (such as the HEAD Prestige, Gravity, Speed, or Radical series) needing maximum string bed durability and control.
