Lynx Tour 17

polyesterGauge 171.2mm

Head Lynx Tour 17 is the thinnest polyester in our database at 1.20mm, and that gauge difference has a meaningful impact on performance. Thinner gauge strings bite into the ball more aggressively, generating higher spin rates and a crisper, more precise feel on contact — spin rated 8.6/10 reflects the gauge advantage. The flip side is durability: 1.20mm polyesters snap faster than 1.25mm+ options, making Lynx Tour a better fit for players who don''t break strings frequently. For players who prioritize spin and feel over maximum longevity and want to try a thin-gauge polyester, Lynx Tour is an excellent entry point at a competitive price.
