HEAD Hawk Tour rPET 200m Reel

HEAD HAWK TOUR

HEAD Hawk Tour is the tour-level Hawk, built in a recycled-PET construction with a seven-sided profile. The heptagonal shape adds meaningful bite over the rest of the Hawk family, and the string is widely praised for balancing spin, control, touch and durability in one package. It comes in a single colour.

It is the most technically advanced Hawk — the control character of the family plus genuine shaped-poly spin, in a sustainable construction.

On-Court Performance

The seven edges create a clear spin advantage over the round Hawks. The string grips and releases the ball cleanly, producing heavy topspin and sharp angles on committed strokes.

Feel is firm and stable, but reviewers describe an unusually complete, near-flawless balance — control, feedback and touch are all there alongside the spin.

Control is excellent. The trajectory is low and predictable, and the string holds its response deep into the playtest without turning mushy.

Durability is strong for a shaped poly, helped by the rPET construction and coating, making it a rare spin string that also lasts.

Who Should Use It

• Advanced and competitive players who want spin and control in one string

• Heavy topspin baseliners who also value feel and touch

• Players who want a shaped poly that lasts

• Players who like the Hawk family but want more bite

• Players looking for a sustainable string option

Who Should Not Use It

• Beginners or players with compact, slow swings

• Players who want easy, effortless depth

• Players with arm sensitivity (unless hybridised)

• Flat hitters who want a very dead, low trajectory

Hybrid Setups & Performance Adjustments

Power
String at the lower end of the range or pair with natural gut or a multifilament in the mains.

Control
Use a full bed toward the upper tension window.

Spin
Put Hawk Tour in the mains at mid-range tension to use the seven-sided bite.

Comfort
Hybrid with a softer poly or multifilament in the crosses.

Tension Stability
String in the mid-range; avoid the extremes.

Durability
Already durable for a shaped poly — use the thicker gauge only if you break strings very quickly.
