The Lynx Tour identity

The Lynx Tour family sits firmly in the performance-oriented monofilament segment. Its defining feature is the six-sided (hexagonal) shaped profile, engineered to increase ball bite and help players generate more spin with modern, vertical swing paths. The overall feel is unmistakably “poly”: solid, predictable and built for players who create their own pace.

In short: Lynx Tour is a spin + control string family for players who accelerate through the ball and value consistency over maximum comfort.

Key characteristics across the range

• Hexagonal profile: enhances ball bite and spin potential.
• Co-polyester construction: delivers control, stability and durability.
• Consistent performance: designed to maintain a similar response over multiple sessions.
• Gauge-based tuning: the same philosophy, with different feel depending on thickness.

Choosing the right gauge

The Lynx Tour range is available in multiple gauges. As a general rule, thinner gauges offer more liveliness and feel, while thicker gauges provide added stability and control. Here’s a practical, on-court interpretation of each option:

Lynx Tour 1.20

• Character: more responsive and forgiving.
• Best for: players who want a shaped poly with easier depth and a slightly softer feel.
• Why choose it: spin and ball speed with less effort.

Lynx Tour 1.25

• Character: balanced blend of control, spin and stability.
• Best for: competitive players looking for an all-around reference within the family.
• Why choose it: versatility for matches and intensive training.

Lynx Tour 1.30

• Character: firmer, more stable and control-oriented.
• Best for: heavy hitters who demand maximum directional control.
• Why choose it: consistency and durability under high ball speed.

On-court performance: control, spin and consistency

On court, the Lynx Tour family inspires confidence when accelerating. The shaped profile supports topspin and kick serves, while the co-polyester base keeps the response predictable and controlled. The result is a string well suited to baseline-oriented players who want margin over the net without sacrificing precision.

What modern players will appreciate

• Stable ball trajectory: especially noticeable at higher swing speeds.
• Accessible spin: helps generate rotation without excessive effort.
• Reliable feel over time: less abrupt performance drop compared to softer polys.

Trade-offs to consider

• Comfort: average for a polyester string; sensitive players may prefer hybrids or lower tensions.
• Free power: not designed for short or compact swings.

Tension guidelines (typical range: 20–24 kg)

Most players will find their sweet spot with Lynx Tour between 20 and 24 kg. Lower tensions enhance pocketing and spin, while higher tensions emphasize control and a firmer response.

• Aggressive topspin players: 20–22 kg for added ball bite and depth.
• All-court players: 22–23 kg for a balanced response.
• Maximum control seekers: 23–24 kg for flatter, more precise trajectories.

Practical tip: when switching from a smooth poly to Lynx Tour, consider dropping tension by around 1 kg to preserve feel and comfort.

Who the Lynx Tour family is for

Recommended for

• Intermediate to advanced players with full, fast swings.
• Competitive players seeking a shaped poly focused on spin and control.
• Those who value predictable, match-ready performance.

Less suitable if

• Maximum comfort is your top priority.
• You rely on short swings and need easy, built-in power.

Conclusion

The Head Lynx Tour range delivers a coherent and performance-driven approach to polyester strings. By offering multiple gauges under the same design philosophy, it allows players to fine-tune feel and response while retaining the core benefits of control, spin and consistency. For modern players who swing fast and play with rotation, Lynx Tour remains a dependable and competitive choice.
