The HEAD Velocity Power 200M Tennis String Reel (Black) (often branded as HEAD Velocity MLT Power) is an updated, extra-lively evolution of the standard Velocity MLT string bed. Designed specifically for players looking for effortless ball speed and deep depth without sacrificing arm safety, it boosts energy efficiency while keeping a plush, comfortable feel.
Building upon the success of the standard Velocity MLT, Velocity Power features a flexible multifilament core surrounded by thicker, highly elastic filaments. This modified construction optimizes energy transfer on impact, helping players launch depth easily with less effort required on full swings.
It retains HEAD’s signature low-friction outer resin coating, allowing the strings to slide and realign smoothly after contact. The Black colorway delivers a sleek, stealthy aesthetic and offers a slightly crisp impact feel while ensuring smooth main-string movement for reliable spin.
Performance Profile
- Power (9.5 / 10): Exceptional pop and trampoline effect. One of the most lively multifilament options on the market, rivaling natural gut in energy return.
- Comfort & Arm Protection (9.5 / 10): Superior shock absorption. It easily dampens impact vibrations, making it exceptionally friendly on wrists, elbows, and shoulders.
- Feel & Touch (9 / 10): Pocketing is crisp and responsive without feeling mushy or pingy, making touch volleys and drop shots easy to measure.
- Control (7 / 10): Slightly lower control than standard Velocity MLT due to the higher elasticity and rebound energy.
- Spin Potential (6.5 / 10): Adequate snap-back spin for a smooth string, though high-spin players will experience faster surface wear and string displacement over time compared to stiffer polyester.
Best Suited For
- Players Seeking Effortless Depth: Ideal for players with slower swing speeds, compact strokes, or lighter racquets who need free power from the string bed.
- Arm-Sensitive Competitors: Anyone recovering from or preventing tennis elbow who wants maximum comfort without losing lively stroke response.
- Hybrid Setups (As a Cross String): Works exceptionally well when paired with a stiff, control-oriented polyester main to soften impact and boost overall playability.
- High-Volume Stringers & Clubs: Buying a 200m reel yields 16 to 18 full string jobs, making it a cost-effective choice for frequent restrings.
