The Head Lynx Tour is a premium co-polyester monofilament designed for competitive players who prioritize surgical precision and massive spin. While the original Head Lynx is known for being a softer, "lively" entry-level poly, the Tour version is a stiffer, high-performance upgrade with a unique six-sided (hexagonal) profile that provides significantly more "bite" on the ball.
Performance Profile
- Elite Control: This is the hallmark of Lynx Tour. It is a low-powered string that allows big hitters to swing at maximum speed without the ball flying long. It offers a very predictable, "dead" response that advanced players use to hit small targets.
- Hexagonal Spin: The 6-edge design increases the string's grip on the ball. This, combined with a slick surface that facilitates "snap-back," creates heavy topspin and aggressive slices.
- Exceptional Tension Maintenance: One of its most praised features is its ability to hold tension better than almost any other string in its class. It avoids the "mushy" feel that many polyesters develop after a few hours of play.
- Firm Feel: It is stiffer than standard Lynx, providing a crisp and "connected" sensation at impact. However, it is still more comfortable than traditional, first-generation polyesters due to its advanced co-polymer mixture.
Best Suited For
- Intermediate to Advanced Competitors: Specifically those with fast, full swings who need a string that won't "over-power" their shots.
- Aggressive Baseliners: Players who want to move their opponents around with heavy, dipping topspin.
- Precision Hitters: Players who value a consistent string bed for volleys and placement-based play.
- Hybrid Setups: Often used in the mains paired with a softer cross string (like synthetic gut or multifilament) to add a touch of comfort to its high-control profile.
