The HEAD Lynx Tour 16G (1.30 mm) in Grey is a tour-tier, 6-sided (hexagonal) co-polyester monofilament built for advanced baseline players and heavy hitters. The Grey cosmetic gives racquets a understated look, while the thick 16 Gauge (1.30 mm) profile provides exceptional directional control, high durability, and superior tension maintenance.
Unlike standard round Lynx, the Lynx Tour series features a geometric profile engineered for max bite and trajectory shaping.
Performance Profile
- Control & Target Accuracy (9.5/10): Superior. The firm, low-powered string bed response prevents overhitting, allowing aggressive baseline players to take full cuts with predictability.
- Spin Access & Ball Bite (9.5/10): Outstanding. Its 6-sided hexagonal shape bites into the tennis ball cover upon impact, generating heavy topspin rotation and steep downward trajectories.
- Tension Stability & Durability (9.5/10): Exceptional. The 1.30 mm gauge delivers high notch resistance and maintains playability significantly longer than average monofilament co-polyesters.
- Touch & Dwell Time (8.0/10): Firm & Connected. Delivers direct feedback that prioritizes precision and spin potential over extreme softness.
Key Technologies
- 6-Sided Hexagonal Geometry: Sharp outer edges grip the ball at contact to maximize snap-back spin and launch angle control.
- New Co-Polymer Mixture: Formulated to optimize structural resilience, offering a dampening impact response without feeling dead or harsh.
- 16G (1.30 mm) Heavy Duty Profile: Provides maximum string bed life and friction resistance, making it an ideal choice for frequent string breakers and open string patterns.
Best Suited For
- Heavy Topspin Baseline Competitors: Hard-hitting tournament players looking for maximum spin bite and depth control.
- Frequent String Breakers: Players who wear through 17G or 18G monofilaments quickly.
- Modern Racquet Setups: Complements control or power frames (such as HEAD Speed, Gravity, Radical, Boom, or Prestige lines) where extra durability and spin control are desired.
