The HEAD Velocity MLT 200M Tennis String Reel (Yellow) combines plush multifilament comfort with controlled response and an eye-catching, high-visibility cosmetic.
HEAD Velocity MLT ("MLT" for multifilament) is built using a core of 1,000 flexible microfilaments wrapped in an outer layer bonded with polyurethane (PU) resin.
While traditional nylon strings can feel overly soft or springy, Velocity MLT is engineered with a low-friction outer coating. This coating allows the main strings to snap back easily upon ball contact, generating better spin and a crisper feel than standard multifilaments. The Yellow colorway offers a bright, high-energy look on court and plays slightly softer on impact compared to the Black version.
Performance Profile
- Comfort & Arm Protection (9 / 10): Exceptional dampening properties. Highly recommended for players managing elbow, wrist, or shoulder discomfort.
- Control (8 / 10): Unusually precise for a soft multifilament. The string bed provides a consistent trajectory, keeping groundstrokes inside the baseline.
- Power (7.5 / 10): Delivers smooth, repeatable power without feeling erratic or overly bouncy.
- Spin Potential (7 / 10): Above average for a smooth multifilament, thanks to its slick outer coating promoting string realignment and snap-back.
- Durability (6 / 10): Good playability duration, though heavy topspin hitters will notch through the outer fibers faster than a polyester string.
Best Suited For
- Players with Tennis Elbow or Arm Sensitivity: Excellent for players who need maximum shock absorption without giving up directional control.
- Intermediate & Club Competitors: Ideal for non-string-breakers who want an all-around performance string that retains its playability for weeks.
- Hybrid Setup Crosses: Works very well as a cross string when paired with a polyester main, softening the overall feel while maintaining snap-back.
- High-Volume Stringers: A 200m reel provides enough string for 16 to 18 racquets, making it one of the most economical multifilament options on the market.
