HEAD Velocity MLT 17G Pink Tennis Strings

The HEAD Velocity MLT 17G (1.25 mm) in Pink is a high-value, arm-friendly multifilament string engineered for intermediate, advanced, and club players seeking maximum comfort, lively energy return, and enhanced touch. Offered in a high-visibility, vibrant Pink cosmetic, this string provides a bold visual accent on the racquet while delivering a slightly softer, more responsive string bed feel compared to thicker 16G options.

The 17 Gauge (1.25 mm) profile maximizes string bed elasticity, yielding increased ball pocketing, a higher launch angle, and quick snap-back to aid spin production.

Performance Profile

1. Arm Comfort & Vibration Isolation (9.5/10): Exceptional. The multi-filament core dampens harsh frame vibrations, making it an ideal choice for players managing tennis elbow, shoulder fatigue, or joint sensitivity.
2. Power & Depth (9.0/10): Lively and responsive. The elastic microfilaments yield effortless depth on medium-to-full swings without requiring excessive physical exertion.
3. Spin Access & Snap-Back (8.5/10): Superior for a multifilament. Features a smooth, low-friction outer resin coating that allows the main strings to slide and snap back more freely than traditional multifilaments.
4. Touch & Dwell Time (9.0/10): Plush and pocketed. The thinner 1.25 mm gauge increases dwell time, giving players exquisite tactile feedback on drop shots, touch volleys, and slice placement.

Key Technologies

1. Multifilament Core Construction: Built with over 1,000 flexible polyamide microfilaments surrounded by outer wraps, replicating the elastic cushioning and power of natural gut at a fraction of the cost.
2. Low-Friction Outer Coating: Features a slick polyurethane/resin treatment that reduces inter-string friction, aiding main-string snap-back for extra spin while protecting against premature surface notch wear.
3. 17G (1.25 mm) Profile: Delivers higher elasticity and ball bite relative to thicker 16G (1.30 mm) variants, offering a livelier, crisper feel off the string bed.

Best Suited For

1. Arm-Health & Comfort Seekers: Hitters needing maximum shock absorption without sacrificing depth or feel.
2. All-Court & Touch-Oriented Hitters: Players who rely on drop shots, touch volleys, and finesse rather than raw, tour-level swing speeds.
3. Hybrid String Setups: Serves as an excellent, ultra-soft cross string when paired with a polyester main string (such as HEAD Lynx Tour or Solinco Hyper-G) to soften impact.
4. Vibrant Frame Matching: Adds a bold cosmetic pop to black, white, or multi-color frames (such as HEAD Speed, Boom, or Gravity lines).
