Head Velocity MLT 16/1.30 200M Tennis String Reel Black

Head Velocity MLT 16 (1.30mm) is a premium, budget-friendly multifilament tennis string engineered for club players seeking an exceptional balance of arm-friendly comfort, controllable power, and enhanced durability. The 16 gauge (1.30mm) option provides a thicker cross-section than the 17 gauge version, translating to higher durability and a slightly more controlled, less lively feel

• Controllable Power: Unlike many mushy or overly powerful multifilaments, Velocity MLT features a lower-powered response. This allows players with moderate-to-fast swing speeds to take full cuts at the ball without fear of overhitting
• Arm Comfort: Its core is constructed from 1,000 flexible microfibers wrapped in a resin matrix, which effectively absorbs shock and harsh vibrations on off-centre hits. 
• Slick Outer Coating: Head applies a low-friction outer wrap that allows the strings to slide and snap back on impact. This unique design boosts its spin potential and reduces notched grooves compared to standard multifilaments
• Tension Maintenance:  it holds its tension and playability longer than standard polyester strings, meaning you can play with it until it breaks rather than cutting it out early.
• Color Dynamics & Selection
  • Black: Offers a slightly crisper feel right off the stringing machine. However, playtesters note that as the black coating wears away, the strings can begin to stick out of alignment faster than the natural version. 
  • Best Uses
    • Full Bed: Ideal for non-string breakers, flat hitters, or intermediate club players looking for a plush feel that protects the elbow.
    • Hybrid Setup: Performs exceptionally well as a comfortable cross string paired with a stiff, spin-friendly co-poly main string. Alternatively, it can be used in the mains with a smooth cross string to soften up a stiff frame without completely losing control.
