The HEAD Lynx Tour Tennis String in Black, 1.20mm/18g is designed for intermediate to advanced tennis players seeking a superior blend of control and spin. Its unique hexagonal co-polyester construction offers excellent bite on the ball for aggressive play. A potential consideration is its stiffness, which may require a slight adjustment period for players accustomed to softer multifilament strings.

The hexagonal shape provides more surface area that grips the ball, significantly increasing spin potential.
This string is generally recommended for intermediate to advanced players due to its firm nature and focus on spin and control. Beginners might prefer softer, more forgiving strings.
Recommended tensions vary by player preference and racquet specifications. However, co-polyester strings are often strung 2-5 lbs lower than multifilament strings. Consult with your stringer for the best recommendation.
The lifespan depends heavily on playing frequency, style, and court surface. For regular players, it's common to restring every 3-6 months, or when you notice a significant drop in playability.
The 1.20mm/18g gauge is thinner, offering more flexibility, feel, and spin potential. Thicker gauges (e.g., 1.30mm) are generally more durable and offer more control but less feel.
Yes, many players use a hybrid setup, combining a co-polyester string like the Lynx Tour in the mains with a softer string in the crosses for added comfort and power.
Consider having the stringbed tension lowered by your stringer. Polyester strings generally perform best at lower tensions than synthetic gut or multifilament.
Ensure the strings are clean. Small debris can affect the surface grip. Also, check if the strings have significantly moved or "notched" excessively, which can indicate it's time for a restring.
Check for any sharp edges on the racquet frame or grommets. Ensure the string was not nicked during installation. For aggressive players, a slightly thicker gauge might offer more durability.
Setup: This string is designed to be used with standard tennis racquet stringing machines. It is recommended to have the HEAD Lynx Tour Tennis String professionally installed by a certified stringer to ensure optimal tension and a consistent stringbed. Due to its co-polyester nature, it is best strung at a slightly lower tension than traditional multifilament strings to maximize comfort and power.
Compatibility: Compatible with all types of tennis racquets. The 1.20mm/18g gauge is suitable for players who prefer a thinner string for more feel and spin.
Care: To maintain performance, avoid exposing the strings to extreme temperatures or prolonged moisture. Regularly inspect strings for signs of wear, such as notching or fraying, and consider restringing when performance degradation is noticed.
