Head Hawk Touch anthracite (12 m)

A tournament-level polyester monofilament in which Head put the focus on ball feel and control. It is meant for strong players: a stiff string like this needs a fast, full swing, and to a beginner it will feel like a board. At 1.25 mm the gauge leans thin: more feel, but it breaks a little sooner than a thicker one. The set holds 12 m.
