The HEAD Velocity Power 200M Tennis String Reel (Natural)—often listed as HEAD Velocity MLT Power—combines the maximum shock absorption of the natural colorway with an engineered high-energy multifilament core. It is the softest and liveliest iteration in the Velocity series.
Designed for players who want effortless depth and maximum ball speed without straining their joints, Velocity Power Natural features an upgraded multifilament construction. It utilizes thinner, highly elastic filaments in its core that maximize energy transfer into the ball.
Because it uses un-dyed Natural nylon fibers bound in a flexible polyurethane (PU) matrix, it delivers an even plush, softer impact feel than colored variants. It is topped with HEAD’s signature low-friction outer coating, allowing main strings to slide and snap back easily for enhanced spin generation.
Performance Profile
- Power & Energy Return (10 / 10): Exceptional trampoline effect. It provides maximum free depth and ball acceleration with minimal effort required from the player.
- Comfort & Arm Protection (10 / 10): Elite shock absorption. Mitigates harsh impact vibrations, making it one of the gentlest strings available on wrist, elbow, and shoulder joints.
- Feel & Pocketing (9 / 10): Extraordinarily plush and forgiving on off-center hits, yielding a classic, comfortable touch for touch shots and volleys.
- Control (6.5 / 10): Lower directional control than standard Velocity MLT due to high elasticity and trampoline pop.
- Spin Potential (7 / 10): Great snap-back potential for a soft multifilament thanks to its slick outer resin finish.
Best Suited For
- Players Recovering from Injuries / Tennis Elbow: The premier pick for players needing maximum cushioning and zero frame feedback.
- Slower Swingers & Compact Strokes: Ideal for players who struggle to generate depth on groundstrokes and need the string bed to supply power.
- Lighter or Stiffer Racquet Frames: Perfect for softening up modern stiff frames (like Babolat Pure Drive or Wilson Ultra) to mitigate frame harshness.
- Hybrid Cross Strings: Outstanding cross string paired with a control-oriented, firm polyester main to boost comfort and power without killing spin potential.
- Economical High-Volume Restringers: The 200m reel delivers roughly 16 to 18 full string jobs, maximizing savings per restring.
