Head Hawk Tour rPET 12m String

Head Hawk Tour rPET 12m String: Precision, Spin, and Sustainable Design

The key innovation of this string lies in its unique 7-sided (heptagonal) geometry. This angular profile aggressively grips the ball upon impact, generating exceptional rotation to drive your opponents deep behind the baseline. Mindful of its ecological footprint, Head has engineered this co-polyester monofilament from recycled PET materials (rPET), demonstrating that elite-level performance can coexist with environmental stewardship.

To ensure surgical precision, the Hawk Tour rPET integrates Head's exclusive Crystal Core Technology. This innovative manufacturing process involves a complex, gradual heat treatment of the co-polyester. The result is a firm and highly predictable response during aggressive strokes, empowering offensive players to unleash their shots with confidence, all while maintaining a dynamic playing experience and optimised feel upon impact.

Ideal Player Profile

This string is engineered for advanced competitors and highly offensive players who possess high swing speeds and utilise significant topspin. It is the ideal choice for those seeking a firm monofilament that provides maximum control to consistently keep the ball within the court boundaries.

Expert Assessment: The Hawk series is an absolute benchmark on the professional tour, and this "Tour rPET" version makes a significant impact! The 7-sided profile literally bites the ball: the snapback effect is formidable, and the ball's heaviness is undeniable. The response is intentionally firm, typical of control-oriented strings, allowing players to strike with full power without fear of overhitting. However, as a demanding monofilament, it is not recommended for players suffering from arm pain or for young, growing athletes. Undecided on the gauge or profile type?
