The HEAD Reflex MLT 16G (1.30 mm) in Natural is HEAD’s most comfortable, premium multifilament tennis string. Designed to closely mimic the plush, shock-dampening qualities and lively power of natural gut, it features a high-density construction of over 1,300 flexible polyamide microfilaments bound within a soft polyurethane (PU) matrix.

The 16 Gauge (1.30 mm) profile provides a balanced mix of durability, ball pocketing, and energy return, making it ideal for players seeking relief from arm fatigue without sacrificing depth or feel.

Performance Profile

  1. Arm Comfort & Shock Absorption (10/10): Exceptional. The ultra-soft PU resin and microfilament bundle absorb impact shock and harsh frame vibrations before they reach the wrist, elbow, or shoulder.
  2. Lively Power & Energy Transfer (9.5/10): High. Provides easy depth on groundstrokes with minimal swing effort, helping players generate pace from anywhere on the court.
  3. Touch & Dwell Time (9.5/10): Superior. Delivers high tactile feedback and long ball dwell time on the string bed, offering precision feel for drop shots, touch volleys, and slice angles.
  4. Spin Access & String Movement (8.5/10): Excellent for a multifilament. Treated with a specialized low-friction outer coating that allows main strings to realign quickly for enhanced snap-back and spin generation.

Key Technologies

  1. 1,300+ Polyamide Microfilament Construction: Thousands of ultra-thin flexible fibers woven together to replicate the elasticity and dynamic playability of natural gut.
  2. Soft Polyurethane (PU) Matrix: Binds the microfilaments together to cushion shock, enhance frame feedback, and maximize arm protection.
  3. Low-Friction Outer Coating: Reduces surface notch wear and friction between mains and crosses, aiding string bed movement and snap-back.

Best Suited For

  1. Players Seeking Maximum Comfort: Anyone experiencing tennis elbow, wrist discomfort, or shoulder strain.
  2. Intermediate & Senior Players: Players looking for effortless power, deep shot depth, and forgiving performance across the entire racquet face.
  3. Comfort Hybrid Setups: Ideal as a soft cross string paired with a stiff polyester main string (like HEAD Hawk or Lynx) to soften the string bed while retaining spin.
