I strung it full bed at 48lbs in my Extreme Tour. Absolutely love the string. Very soft and has wonderful feel. I actually felt like it still had a good amount of spin and control, and it’s all around one of my favorite strings that I’ve tried in recent history. Might switch to this permanently, or mix it with Lynx Tour.

[@Javi_C]

Glad to hear you thoughts on it! I got my set from Michelle at Tennis Warehouse around late November. Strung it at 49 lbs full bed on my 360+ Prestige Pro. I agree what you said, and thought it was a soft string. I would recommend a hybrid for this string 💯

[@Xtefanno]

Damn. I was searching on youtube "tennis nerd head lynx touch" and no video was found. I kept my search and BOOM (pun intended) you updated the video

[@TennisTalkUSA]

Your review of Head Lynx Touch mirrored my experience with the string! - Lower launch angle - Increased power - Not spin friendly - Soft string / You can feel the plowthrough - Laser beam like volleys I could definitely see this being used in a hybrid setup with a stiffer shaped poly string in the mains.

[@Bambotb]

That's musetti setup

[@ReidVV]

This string has a construction stolen from Prince Warrior Response that is available from Tennis Warehouse for $5 a set and the play-ability description you give is how Warrior Response plays, too. Warrior Response a great cross string. I think of it as a budget version of Luxilon Element. It pairs up well with a softer shaped poly like Head Lynx 16, or Gamma Moto Soft 17. It has a hateful, stiff coil memory, so be prepared to handle it with a little extra care, but it plays soft and not stiff as it feels while stringing. Another smooth poly cross to try is MSV Co-Focus 17L. It's a little more spin friendly while still softening the string bed.

[@guidodelgiudice5]

Jonas I received mine during lockdown. I will be trying it next week

[@wlkdesign]

just had my head prestige mp strung up with Lynx Touch 1.25 @ 44lbs - loved it, softened it up nicely - will try in my Head Extreme Tour next

[@edwardstilwell9252]

I use the Yonex Vcore Pro 97D I normally use Gamm Jet 18 Lime 48 lbs. ... I tried the Lynx Touch in one of my 97D's @ 48 lbs. my take on the strings were: Good power, good control, great feel and I thought for a round string actually I got decent spin production! I didn't like it as much as my full bed Gamma Jet 18 but am thinking of trying it next as a hybrid with my Gamma Jet 18. When I try it I'll give my opinion again with that set-up. If someone is having arm issues and want's a good softer poly this string will work quite well for that.

[@tennis-fan]

Have it in my extreme tour , full bed, 23 kg, 1.3 gauge version and I love it

[@ajcph]

I got the samples. Thanks for your help

[@mindaugasbogusevicius3196]

Hi, nice review ! My wife plays with Head Gravity MP Lite strung VelocityMLT/RPM Blast , 22/23kg. What do you think about trying LynxTouch/RPM Blast ? Same tension ? Thanks 🙂

[@thecat4272]

Good review.

[@fnecessity]

So I got my strings about a month ago thank you @TennisNerd for hooking me up. *Racquet* Head Radical Pro MP *String tension* 53 lbs full bed Visual: On the racquet they look so good going from grey to black on every cross. Very unique. Play: Good access to spin and power. I felt the ball come off the strings really well on forehand, slices and drop shots. Comfort: Agree with @TennisNerd really easy on the arm. I've had tennis elbow injury before and I played with ease with no issues matching natural gut. Edit: Been using it for 3 weeks and I'm amazed at how much it's changed a week after I left the review. I'm struggling to generate spin effectively and also touch feels super muted. It could be because of the racquet I got it strung on, it may need a lighter racquet. I keep changing racquet to use one with Luxilon big banger 17. I've checked the tension on the strings and it's maintained it well with a drop of just 3/4 lbs. Really odd how my feelings have changed so quickly I may just need to try out the 17l version hopefully is better.

[@Fred_P]

May I ask how you got hooked up? Is it patreon only or was it other social media?

[@fnecessity]

@@Fred_P hello mate yeah it's a form he sent out but was for a limited time only and they stopped taking anymore forms.

[@Fred_P]

@@fnecessity Yeah I just wanted to know because I missed it. I found the link to the website in the comments now. No worries. Thanks for responding.

[@ryansodhi1815]

So after 3 weeks how was the comfort? Was it still good for the arm?

[@fnecessity]

​@@ryansodhi1815 I restrung Hybrid prince synthetic gut 16g mains and head lynx 17g crosses @50lbs and it worked out really well for me out of all the setups. So maybe touch wasn't suitable for me but the normal one is but I also changed racquets to Head Extreme Tour so that may have played a part also.

[@vanodne]

Also trying Lynx Touch in a hybrid on an Extreme Tour. Thanks for hooking me up! I have Confidential in the mains for now (want to try Lynx Tour). As a cross, Lynx Touch is nicely slick and produces a noticeably less harsh stringbed. Also, although I am only a few hours in, it seems that the harder outer layer on the LTouch is maintaining low friction sliding between the mains and crosses better than a full bed of Confidential (i.e. longer-lasting snap back and more consistent spin). Very positive experience thus far. Thanks again! UPDATE: The Lynx Tour developed an oddly high level of friction against the Confidential mains after a few sessions and, although it is smooth, it sawed through the mains rather quickly. I have had better luck with cheap Pro Line II Rough in the crosses. Although the stringbed is not quite as soft I've gotten much better durability and maintenance of spin potential. YMMV.

[@Fred_P]

[@vanodne]

@@Fred_P The gent from Head that Jonas interviewed offered to send out tester sets to those who asked for them in the comments.

[@Fred_P]

@@vanodne Ah ok, I found the link to the website in the comments now. Thanks for responding, I missed it somehow.

[@etiennebyrde4781]

Do you put a thicker gauge on the cross than on the main ?

[@vanodne]

@@etiennebyrde4781 No, both 1.20mm.

[@guidodelgiudice5]

My review. the combination of natural gut/ lynx touch in the crosses at high tensions is just the perfect set up for my racquet and style of play. Intermediate player. Head speed is not a powerful racquet. My weak backhand makes me play a lot of slices which become very effective with that powerful combination of strings. Comfort is absolute! Feeling is the best I have ever played with. I can tell where the ball will go before it leaves the string bed. I feel connected. I know what I am doing. The fact that the round shape of Lynx touch and the soft outer material doesn't create much friction is allowing my natural gut to live longer and still going back into place after every shot. I didn't have to realign my string after every break. Serve feels like is accepting more shape from my wrist movement and accept a lot of topspin.All in all I feel like this set up is the ultimate solution for a club player with technical and phisical limits. power and control. I know these words are printed over every set of modern strings but you really get the best of both world. I generate my own spin and I am glad I don't have to rely on shaped strings for it. Thanks Jonas. Thanks Head.

[@schoenlinggwunderbar]

Tried it in the crosses on the Extreme Tour with Lynx Tour in mains. This combo is fantastic! Gives you much more feel and touch than full bed Lynx Tour. Many thanks to you and to Head / Dennis for the test opportunity ✌🏻🙂 I really hope Head will bring out a more spin friendly spin with 4 edges like Solinco Confidential / Hyper-G. I guess this will match pretty well with the Lynx Touch as a hybrid.

[@etiennebyrde4781]

What tension do you put ?

[@schoenlinggwunderbar]

@@etiennebyrde4781 around 23/22

[@vanodne]

How was it after a few tennis sessions? I experienced a lot of friction between Confidential mains and Lynx Touch crosses after a few hits. It ate the Confidential (which seems crazy since the Touch is smooth).

[@Namenono76]

This is the exact combo I have on my radical. Wow I love the ball pocketing and plush feeling. I had tennis elbow using a full bed of poly and found this combo even at a high tension to be fantastic

[@doudou3392]

​@@schoenlinggwunderbar I m trying the head lynx tour in the mains and the yonex polytour pro in the crosses. (On an Ezone 100, 22 kgs) Did you already try it ? It makes sense.

[@CH-yp5by]

Jonas if you wanted more spin would you not put this in the crosses and use a spin orientated string in the mains? Do tell me if you think otherwise.

[@mteca5093]

Is there another multi or soft poly with harder coating to minimize denting

[@michaelhinson424]

I switched from Lynx to Lynx touch and I love it! It’s very comfortable and has some pop. Great string and it looks great. I have it strung on my Head Radical Agassi limited edition racquet. Highly recommend it!

[@marcintarnowski2789]

Could you explain what means "pop" in this case ? English is not my 1st language

[@Tennisnerd]

Power

[@Le-Chuck]

Would you try the old tecnifibre blackcode 4S ? There is not a lot review and tour opinion would bé helpful on this one that deserves a vidéo. 😉

[@jonathanchen1026]

Good for speed pro?

[@Chris-yv4xg]

Do you have stats like those from TennisWarehouseuniversity?

[@mustafa_sakalli]

Is it good for hybrid with gut? Using 360+ prestige tour (18x19 string pattern)

[@jorged4763]

Did you try on 1.30 or 1.25 gauge ?

[@marcopaoletti5420]

Hi Jonas, I ll try it on the 100p 18x20. How would you compare this to the isospeed cream? Prince is doing the exact same string since years in 16g... It s called the warrior response. I think you may like it in more open patterns. I really like it in my beast 100

[@villiam7941]

I am also interested in IsoSpeed Cream review

[@ajcph]

How does this compare to Hyper G Soft?

[@jackbandel]

how does this compare to Hawk Power?

[@mteca5093]

How it compare to YONEX AIR???

[@MrPorschkub]

Please review Tourna Big Hitter Silver 7 Tour

[@soyellowsoviolent]

I thought it had some great spin potential. one of the best snapbacks i felt.

[@golpherguy6388]

Thanks for the review, if I may say, little bit too much repetition.

[@vnishpt7036]

So does it play comparable to say Technifibre Triax or would you describe comparability otherwise? Thanks for the review.

[@EdmonBegoli]

Yes, please compare it for us with Triax - spin potential, control, tension maintenance, power.

[@edwardstilwell9252]

I have used Technifiber Triax and personally I like the Lynx Touch a lot more! I think it has better feel and power than the Triax not sure about tension yet I thought spin potential was very good for a round string! ... My opinion anyway for what it's worth also the Lynx Touch is $10 a set cheaper at $12 compared to $22 for Triax! USA prices

[@xdiputsm]

@@edwardstilwell9252 What about durability? Thanks!

[@villiam7941]

Triax frays too fast

[@edwardstilwell9252]

@@xdiputsm not sure on durability yet.

[@bojack3827]

Can you review Tourna Silver Tour?

[@DanielHelc]

I am still waiting for mine :) Who got it so far?

[@jockegustafsson]

Great review! How would you compare it to Solinco Hyper G Soft?

[@Tennisnerd]

Tack! Hyper-G Soft is livelier and more spin oriented. Lynx Touch has a lower launch angle and plays a bit like a mix of a multifilament and a poly.

[@leftyspinn]

Would you use this in the cross with natural gut in a prestige 18x20?

[@Tennisnerd]

Yeah, that could be a great setup

[@WestCoastAce27]

Looks like a nice addition to the Head string family. Happy with Solinco otherwise I’d give it a try. Did I miss you mention the release date or hasn’t Head decided yet? Interesting how some strings get sent out to testers, then a long time goes by before they’re available to the public.

[@edwardstilwell9252]

It is available already at some stores in the USA at $12 a set I have purchased and received them already.

[@zassou-uehara]

can lynu tour hybrid with lynx touch??

[@CH-yp5by]

cannot see why not

[@villiam7941]

How is tension maintenance? How is it compared to the other similar strings in this category? element, cream, smart, etc

[@vwmusicplaylist1935]

This is a REALLY unusual string. Feel stiff when stringing, yet there's power available when hitting. The harder you hit the ball, the better the string responds - its seems to stiffen and the ball somehow dips in - power with control. Seems thicker that its stated gauge. Weight is about 1g heavier than a standard poly, which increases the swingweight. String feels muted but also lively. Not super spinny but enough spin to be getting by. Need more hours with it and will update my comments....

[@vwmusicplaylist1935]

This is definitely a control string. On the 2nd day of hitting, hours 3-4, some of the power seems to have gone out of it, and it feels a bit deader (originally strung at 53lbs). I can think of ALOT of soft polys that are more powerful than this. Strings show signs of notching, and not sliding quite as well compared to when freshly strung.

[@akio2730]

I don’t like it. I tried it full bed on my Head Speed mp 2022 and very soon I went back to the hawk touch. It seems like to play with a multi.

[@CH-yp5by]

Looks like something like Luxilon Element but with less spin.

[@villiam7941]

all i dont like about the element is the price tag and no grip on the ball

[@CH-yp5by]

@@villiam7941 Perhaps your tension is too high and your crosses not low enough to allow for more snap back, I managed to get a decent amount of spin. There is also a rough version that has a high spin potential rating on tennis warehouse string database but it has a 1.3mm diameter. An yeah the price tag is high!

[@villiam7941]

@@CH-yp5by I use 48-52, full bed. I think I need some shaped crosses.

[@CH-yp5by]

Perhaps, I would think the mains does the most brushing on the ball with your ground strokes. I had Element on the mains and Alu power on crosses which was a nice setup but I wanted more spin so now I have a shaped poly being Lynx Tour on mains and Velicity on crosses for power and comfort but there is not enough feel now so I will next try Lynx touch on crosses.
