The HEAD Velocity MLT 17G (1.25 mm) in Blue is a high-value, arm-friendly multifilament string designed for intermediate to advanced club players seeking effortless power, enhanced tactile feel, and solid spin potential. Finished in a vivid Blue cosmetic, it adds a crisp color pop to the racquet frame while delivering a slightly livelier, more responsive launch off the string bed than thicker 16G variants.

The 17 Gauge (1.25 mm) thickness offers superior ball pocketing, increased elasticity, and crisp feedback compared to thicker gauges, maximizing touch and snap-back spin.

Performance Profile

  1. Arm Comfort & Vibration Isolation (9.5/10): Exceptional. The multi-filament core absorbs harsh impact shock, making it an ideal, forgiving option for players prone to tennis elbow or joint sensitivity.
  2. Power & Depth (9.0/10): Lively and responsive. The elastic core construction returns energy efficiently, allowing players to generate depth on medium-to-full swings with minimal physical exertion.
  3. Spin Access & Snap-Back (8.5/10): Superior for a multifilament. Features a specialized low-friction resin outer coating that enables the main strings to slide and snap back more freely for enhanced topspin rotation.
  4. Touch & Dwell Time (9.0/10): Plush and pocketed. The 1.25 mm thin profile increases string bed deflection, offering precise feedback on delicate drop shots and touch volleys.

Key Technologies

  1. Multifilament Core Construction: Formulated with over 1,000 flexible polyamide microfilaments surrounded by thicker outer wraps, mimicking the cushioning and energy return of natural gut.
  2. Low-Friction Outer Coating: Smooth polyurethane/resin treatment reduces friction between mains and crosses, facilitating string snap-back for spin generation while protecting against early surface wear.
  3. 17G (1.25 mm) Profile: Delivers higher elasticity, better ball pocketing, and a livelier string bed feel compared to thicker 16G (1.30 mm) options.

Best Suited For

  1. Comfort & Arm-Health Seekers: Players needing maximum vibration dampening without giving up pop or spin.
  2. All-Court & Touch-Oriented Hitters: Competitors relying on touch, drop shots, and controlled depth rather than raw, tour-level swing speed.
  3. Hybrid String Setups: Serves as an excellent, soft cross string when paired with a shaped polyester main string (such as HEAD Lynx Tour) to soften the impact profile.
  4. Vibrant Frame Matching: Pairs dynamically with blue, black, or accent-colored frames (such as the HEAD Instinct, Speed, or Boom series).
