HEAD Lynx Tour String Review - New poly string from HEAD tennis

What was previously called Experimental Tour is now live as "Lynx Tour". A shaped and Champagne-colored polyester with a good blend of control and spin and above-average comfort.

[@wolleo4818]

Nice review, Jonas! I do play the Lynx Tour with my T-Fight xtc 295, strung 10% below my average level. This is working great to me. Armfrendly, good mix of spin, Power and control. It even makes for fun to play fast rallys...and still tension los is very low. My prefered set-up currently 👍

[@iamwhatiam6075]

Your strokes have improved and you were already good! Well played!

[@Tennisnerd]

Thanks a lot! 🙏🏼

[@josebastian9667]

Just started playing with this string. Amazing so far! Preferred over hyper G. Little bit more arm friendly, bit more control.

[@user-be5qg7mr1s]

What tension works good?

[@MattyPreacts]

Love your videos. Keep it up!!

[@Tennisnerd]

Thanks!

[@hanrufourie]

Hi TN. Why do you prefer multi's in the mains and poly’s in the crosses? Thanks

[@santhoship2677]

Great reveiw how does this string compare hyper g and tourbite

[@ScottDreyfus]

They went for hyper g and came up with confidential. Playing both in 17 and if you blindfolded me I couldn't tell the difference. They are 1a 1b in the radical pro

[@craigmorgan1617]

I am a 4.5 who used to use the prince 93P. I denied a bunch of racquets got some Gravity MPs but broke strings and the only Gravity Demo the had was a Gravity S and I fell in love. What are your thoughts on that racquet and will you be doing a review?

[@kevincalmettes5110]

Great review. How would you compare this one to the lynx edge?

[@ayczs5123]

i play with a wilson prostaff 6.1 95 classic, i prefer control and spin, which would you recommend head hawk touch or head lynx tour, thanks!

[@adriellepretre9047]

Hi. I’m using the extreme tour. Would you recommend the gray or champagne color? What tension? I hit with heavy topspin. Thanks.

[@HF-ek4ig]

my favorit string on a blade 98 16x19 V6

[@SRKarting]

I just tried this string in the mains at 55lbs in my 2020 Yonex Ezone 98 16x19 with TF Synth gut in the crosses at 55lbs. I really enjoyed this string and balls were going where I wanted them and was predictable with good control and spin. Gonna see how long it plays now until it needs cutting out.

[@UserIsM]

How long did it last in the racket for?

[@gddfhjiufcv]

Great review, interesting to hear that Nikki Roenn is also a big fan of this string. When two tennis nerds are vouching for it you know it must be good! Who were you hitting with at the start of the video? He looked like a strong player.

[@Tennisnerd]

Thanks! That is my tennis buddy Daniel, he is a very good player from Germany. There is video where we talk about his racquet on the channel.

[@drexlerstanda]

Hi, have you ever tried to play with Head Lynx Edge? I'd like to know the difference in gameplay compared to the Head Lynx Tour. I'm currently testing the Head 360+ Speed MP and PRO. Thank you for your advice...

[@koalonke]

Hello! What tension do you recommend for the Gravity Tour? Thank you

[@lucahoffmann7259]

Hey @tennisnerd ! I play with cyclone at 53-55 , and I like it because it feels pretty stiff to me! How similar are these strings and what are the benefits of each? I am aware strings won't change my whole game, but I would like to know!

[@Tennisnerd]

Hi, they are quite similar. I prefer the feel and comfort of Lynx Tour, it is not as stiff as Cyclone. But they still offer similar levels of control and spin.

[@antoniocastillo7888]

Do you recommend this strings for a Wilson clash 100, and what tension? Thank you

[@i_vanni]

Same question

[@SanjitMandal]

How would this feel compared to Solinco Confidential? I use a Pure Strike 16x19.

[@joakimharlin9030]

Lynn Tour is heavier and thus bumps up the swing wheight a bit more than confidential. I find them to play quite close, confidential is a bit crisper with slightly better spin and lynx tour possibly with slightly better touch and control. But i guess these parameters could Change depending on gauge and tension. Both great strings in a Head Extreme Tour!

[@NYCsports1]

Hi TN! How dominant a characteristic is the shape of Lynx Tour and is it a viable option for a hybrid with gut mains in terms of shredding/movement?

[@Tennisnerd]

Hi Jake, it is not shaped enough not to be useful in hybrids. I actually like it most in a hybrid with HEAD Velocity MLT or natural gut.

[@guyg6417]

For the Speed MP or Speed MP Lite racquet how many pounds of tension would you recommend for a hybrid setup with the velocity MLT and how many pounds for full bed?

[@Tennisnerd]

I would go 55 lbs on Velocity in the mains and 53 lbs on the Tour in the crosses. On a full bed, I would go 52 lbs.

[@ericshine1]

@Tennisnerd would you say the same for the 360 Speed Pro? And how does the spin and control compare between the hybrid w velocity in the mains vs a full bed of Lynx Tour? Thx

[@homosapien5156]

How does lynx tour compare to lynx edge as both are shaped ?

[@jugheadfla]

I have been using lynx edge up until recently when I tried Lynx Tour and now I have permanently switch to tour. Lynx edge is a little to soft for me so the control was not as good and it tended to get launchy even off of the stringer. Lynx Tour had far more control than edge and its crisp but very comfortable. I think edge has more sides than tour but I didn't notice that much difference in spin, they are very comparable in the aspect.

[@PrecisionPointTennis]

Might try it now

[@adamcang4683]

Pure AERO VS review coming soon? Also is that racket actually different to the normal one?

[@Tennisnerd]

I can't really play at the moment, the stuff I am releasing now are things I shot before the Covid-19 situation got going here in Malta so some reviews will be delayed.

[@EP-yc2gu]

Jonas - three months and I’m still playing with the Gravity Pro! I’m not saying I’m “cured” but it’s a good start! #tennisnerdproblems

[@bushmenaa]

E P gravity pro is great racket I bought for my girlfriend and she likes it a lot. I also tried it and I like it, but since is L2 and L4, she will play with it :)

[@K4R3N]

Giving serious demo time to the Gravity. MP was too light, Pro too heavy. Tour arrives today

[@EP-yc2gu]

7 months and counting. I’m in uncharted Ed territory

[@ichinomiyaconbimai5104]

Not sure if it can compete with Volkl from a point of cost its almost twice the price

[@carlobacca7840]

Difference between solinco confidential?

[@MrRodrigo4815]

Have you ever tried a main lynx head tour, and head hawk crossers, if more spin is generated in this hybrid combination?

[@Tennisnerd]

No, but will do! I like Lynx Tour and Hawk Touch 👍🏻

[@MrRodrigo4815]

@@Tennisnerd 👍

[@viniciusbarbosa1815]

What do you think about this string on a Wilson SHIFT 99 at 48lbs (17g)?

[@GeorgeHWBush-jt8yz]

Hey tennisnerd, any racquet recommendations? I’m currently using a liquid metal mid plus. I’m in the intermediate level, like to hit the ball hard, my best shot is my serve, and i attack the net a lot

[@anthonyyoon3296]

How does it compare to Alu?

[@Tennisnerd]

A bit more spin, perhaps a tad stiffer.

[@garymitten]

Could you hybrid the Lynx Tour with Luxillon Element? (Like both strings but LT is a little too uncomfortable full bed and LE doesn't last long enough for me)

[@Tennisnerd]

Yes, that is an interesting try.

[@garymitten]

@@Tennisnerd interesting, like it could work? Be spinny, last quite well and be more comfortable than lynx tour by itself?

[@marvyeap]

Hi Jonas, is Head Lynx Tour softer or Solinco Hyper G softer?

[@jugheadfla]

Lynx tour is softer in my opinion

[@marvyeap]

jugheadfla thx

[@ttwarrior1]

Just saw. Getting these strings in about ten min.

[@topbanana3413]

IsoSpeed makes almost all of the HEAD strings

[@ignacionunez612]

I hit with this for 2 weeks in my VCP97 and While i liked it at first, after 5 days of hitting I started to dislike it and cut it out after 2 weeks. I didn't get near enough spin out of it after the first couple of hours and the feel was a little on the mushy side. Wasn't horrible but will not buy again.

[@qingyu4805]

I tried this in my blade98,50&52.Hard to control, little spin.

[@bushmenaa]

What’s your regular setup?

[@qingyu4805]

@@bushmenaa Hyper-G.

[@bushmenaa]

qing yu i like hyper g :)

[@EP-yc2gu]

As much as Head keeps telling everyone how they used Hyper G as a baseline when developing Lynx Tour, I don’t think it feels as good. Not really even close, IMO.

[@Mysteryboy0007]

what is your 2 favorite string setup? it can be full bed poly..

[@Tennisnerd]

Natural gut mains 55 lbs and Luxilon 4G crosses 53 lbs.

[@hybrid11theory75]

Good string in an Open pattern, but in my Gravity Tour it feels a bit board like and stiff... for dense string patterns I wouldn't recommend more than 22kg at max..;)

[@godmytic7478]

whats the difference between alu power and lynx tour? @tenniserd

[@ianmueller-hickler5799]

Alu power, Hyper-g, cyclone vs this? Your thoughts?

[@CoDINmyHEART]

Agree, more side by side thoughts :)

[@Tennisnerd]

Alu Power is a bit less spin-friendly, but gives a bit more control. Hyper-G is quite similar, a bit more spin, but a tad stiffer though. Holds tension better than the others. Cyclone is also quite close, good control, feels a bit stiffer to me and loses tension pretty quickly. I would put Lynx Tour the closest to Hyper-G. I like all of the strings, but probably Hyper-G and Lynx Tour the best.

[@Tennisnerd]

Will work on that for upcoming reviews.

[@ianmueller-hickler5799]

@@Tennisnerd Interesting I would have thought alu power had more power. Does the hyper-g produce less power than lynx tour?

[@harlanzip]

Was the part about color a joke? Lol

[@Tennisnerd]

Actually not :)
