The Head Lynx stands as one of the most acclaimed and versatile monofilament strings on the circuit. Renowned for its unique blend of comfort, exceptional ball feel, and dynamic performance, it has become a favourite across all player levels. Its flexible co-polymer composition delivers a distinct 'pocketing' sensation, maximizing dwell time and providing outstanding touch while remaining remarkably arm-friendly. This string is an optimal choice for modern players seeking the benefits of a polyester without excessive stiffness.
Extreme Tennis Expert Review
⚡ Quick Verdict: An exceptionally comfortable and versatile monofilament, delivering superb ball feel and controllable power. Its primary drawback is a noticeable tension loss after several hours of play.
From the initial strokes, the Lynx impresses with its inherent flexibility. Players immediately experience the characteristic sensation of the ball sinking into the stringbed. Our technical analyses confirm its superior dwell time and deflection capabilities compared to the average monofilament. This property translates into exceptional ball feel and a profound sense of control.
In play, this excellent 'pocketing' facilitates the generation of highly controllable power. While its natural repulsion is slightly below average, the confidence it instils encourages faster racquet head speed, leading to powerful and precise shots. Comfort remains a significant strength, positioning it well above the average for polyester strings and making it suitable for a broad spectrum of players.
The inherent trade-off for this flexibility is a relatively rapid tension loss. The string performs optimally during the initial hours of play, but its performance characteristics may diminish thereafter, necessitating regular restringing to maintain its unique feel.
