HEAD Velocity MLT 16G Black Tennis Strings

The HEAD Velocity MLT 16G (1.30 mm) in Black is a premium, high-value multifilament string designed for club players, intermediate competitors, and touch-oriented players seeking arm-friendly comfort, lively power, and control. Finished in a sleek, classic Black cosmetic, this string provides a plush, muted impact feel while delivering reliable playability across the string bed.

The 16 Gauge (1.30 mm) profile provides enhanced durability, higher tension stability, and better notch resistance compared to thinner 17G variants, making it a great option for non-poly users who want longevity.

Performance Profile

1. Arm Comfort & Vibration Dampening (9.5/10): Superior. The thousands of flexible microfilaments absorb impact shock, making it an ideal choice for players dealing with tennis elbow or joint sensitivity.
2. Power & Depth (9.0/10): Lively and effortless. Delivers easy depth on medium-to-full swings without requiring extreme physical output from the player.
3. Spin Access & String Movement (8.0/10): Exceptional for a multifilament. The specialized low-friction outer coating allows the mains to slide and snap back more easily than standard synthetic guts or traditional multifilaments.
4. Control & Directional Accuracy (8.0/10): Moderate & Forgiving. Offers a soft, pocketed feel with predictable launch angles, though less crisp than stiff polyester strings.

Key Technologies

1. Multifilament Core Construction: Composed of over 1,000 flexible synthetic microfilaments bundled together to mimic the natural elasticity, power, and shock absorption of natural gut.
2. Low-Friction Coating: Features a smooth outer resin coating that reduces inter-string friction, aiding main-string snap-back for added spin and reduced surface wear.
3. 16G (1.30 mm) Profile: Delivers added durability and tension retention over thinner gauge options without sacrificing plush ball pocketing.

Best Suited For

1. Comfort & Touch Seekers: Players wanting maximum vibration dampening and a plush hitting feel to protect arms and shoulders.
2. Intermediate & Club Players: Non-polyester users looking for easy power and depth without having to swing at tour-level speeds.
3. Hybrid String Setups: Makes an excellent, arm-friendly cross string when paired with a shaped polyester main string (such as HEAD Lynx Tour or Solinco Hyper-G) to soften the string bed.
