The HEAD Velocity MLT 200M Tennis String Reel (Blue) combines the plush, arm-friendly comfort of traditional multifilament strings with a vibrant blue cosmetic and slightly enhanced control.
HEAD Velocity MLT ("MLT" for multifilament) is constructed around a core of 1,000 flexible microfilaments wrapped in an outer layer bonded with polyurethane (PU) resin.
Unlike conventional nylon strings that can feel overly soft or trampoline-like, Velocity MLT features a low-friction outer resin coating. This slick surface enables the main strings to snap back effectively during ball impact, producing cleaner spin and a slightly crisp response for a non-polyester string. The Blue colorway adds a bold pop of color to your racquet frame and delivers a crisp feel similar to the Black variant.
Performance Profile
- Comfort & Arm Protection (9 / 10): Exceptional vibration dampening. An ideal option for players needing relief from elbow, wrist, or shoulder soreness.
- Control (8 / 10): Very controllable for a soft string, providing a predictable launch angle so you can swing with confidence.
- Power (7.5 / 10): Offers smooth, controllable depth without forcing you to shorten your swing to keep the ball in court.
- Spin Potential (7 / 10): Higher snap-back potential than standard round multifilaments due to its slick outer additive.
- Durability (6 / 10): Reliable playability duration, though heavy topspin hitters will eventually notch through the outer coating.
Best Suited For
- Arm-Sensitive Players: Perfect for anyone recovering from or trying to prevent tennis elbow without losing directional control.
- Intermediate & Club Players: Excellent for players who want a balanced mix of comfort, power, and spin without the stiffness of polyester strings.
- Hybrid Configurations: Works exceptionally well in the cross positions when paired with a shaped polyester main string.
- Frequent Restringers: The 200m reel yields approximately 16 to 18 full string jobs, offering great value per restringing session.
