Head Hawk Power 17/1.25 String

Made in the USA, this co-poly offers above average comfort for the breed
Made in the USA Hawk Power offers above average comfort for a poly-based monofilament. As such, it feels a tad softer and more powerful than a traditional polyester, but it still offers impressive control on full cuts. In addition to being a great "starter poly" for those new to the breed, Hawk Power will also tempt the poly veteran looking for a softer ride. Spin also comes easy thanks to how fast this string lets you swing. Although Hawk Power definitely loses its fair share of tension over time, the playability holds up well compared to other soft polys.

Racket and StringGood string with high swing
Bargain price for the performanceThe strings performed for my Babolat pure dive Team (2021) version and head boom MP. Very consistent and goes where I intend to hit. The feel is great compared to when using Hyper G. Been using it for 2 years on all my rackets. The color is also fantastic.
Good enough!This string is so good with Speed racquet to me!
Excellent playability and power for about 6hI strung my 2023 Radical MPs with Hawk Power @50 and @52 lbs. both felt exactly the same TBH.
Super smooth feel. Softer than other round control polys. Great SnapBack and more than avg spin vs other similar strings.
The only issue was that I hit with each racquet for about 6h and then the playability change dramatically. There was still some snapback, but it felt like if the sweet spot got reduced to a very small section in the racquet.
The 6 hours (4 hitting sessions including two matches) were absolutely wonderful. It’s a very balanced string IMO.
I don’t hit super hard or break strings.
This pretty much confirms what I found in a couple of reviews.
Good overall and a great choice if you can restring very often.
Good StringI think Hawk Power is a good string I did lower tension seems to have too much power but pretty good control.
Great product and wxperienceOverall great products, delivery and experience buying from Tennis Warehouse for the first time. And great prices, highly recommend.
Wonderful string for Prestige Pro (18x20)When I first purchased my Prestige Pro, I selected Head Hawk Power (17) because TW included it as one of the suggested string options and I liked its dark blue color. I had my first PP racquet strung at 50 pounds, and found that even though the PP racquet had dense 18x20 pattern and the string was round, I could get a good bite on the ball when hitting topspin or slice. The durability is certainly much better than a rough or profiled string (e.g., Volkl Cyclone or Solinco tour bite rough), with a very small sacrifice in ball grip. My shots feel much more predictable in terms of placement and depth, which was my initial plan in switching from 16x19 to 18x20 denser string pattern. I'm glad that TW recommended the string and that the string has been relatively durable and comfortable thus far.

Head Hawk Power reviewThe Head Hawk Power 17/1.25 string is a standout choice for players seeking a balance of power and precision. Crafted with Head’s innovative Crystal Core Technology, this co-polyester string offers a unique combination of energy return and control. Its thinner 1.25 mm gauge further enhances spin potential and touch, making it an excellent option for advanced players who like to dictate points with aggressive, spin-heavy shots.

Strong and elegantYou feel the power and grip on the string, the impact does not feel as strong on the arm and elbow and the blow does not lose power.

Nice power but stiffHas nice power but breaks easily breaks if you're not careful when stringing, doesn't have the flex.
