    Lynx Touch sounds like an interesting proposition so I'll definitely be trying it out as I search for stringing nirvana.
    Innovation in the string market is so difficult, as you discussed, so it's great to see a major player like Head is trying to bring new ideas to the table.

    Nice hearing more from Dennis! Haven’t tested as many strings as you Jonas, but from the two weeks I’ve had Lynx Touch, I’ve noticed it pockets the ball the most I’ve ever felt on any string. Definitely more of a control string, since I felt you need to bring your own power.

    Excellent interview, and Dennis Fabian is always a great source of balanced information without any hype or overselling, even if one would excuse him from doing so given his position with HEAD. Lynx Tour is my primary cross string choice in my string setups which are gut-poly or poly-poly. For a firm poly, it plays with excellent comfort compared with say Solinco Confidential which is similar on the lab measurements, but feels much stiffer in play. As Denis said, it’s not always about lab numbers but how it plays on court.
    Would love to try the new Lynx Touch string. I’m guessing it’s will not be quite as soft as Lynx which arguably is one of the three most comfortable polys available on the market today.

    I'm a big fan if Head Lynx strings. Love the idea of a softer Touch version. Touch's construction sounds like another softer-playing poly I've used, Prince Warrior Response. It also has a wrapped core-like construction as described in Touch. Warrior Response a great soft cross to use with a stiffer, shaped poly main, because it holds up against notching better than a multi or syn gut (nat gut is too much $$$ for me).

    What a great interview and talk. I'm really interested in the new Lynx Touch, cause i've drifted away from a hybrid setup 'cause of the riffeling multifilament strings. And in northern Germany you have quite a few humit days in the year, so that gut isn't a great choise eather, unless you don't have to care about money :D On the topic of racket sound I just don't like the "long" ring out if you play without a dampener. For me it's just distracting, if the racket is ringing to long. The pitch doenst bother me that much.

    Great work Tennisnerd your the man when it comes to tennis information and thank you for enlightening the rest of us !
    I am watching and listening most of your videos appreciate your comments and expertise.
    May I ask you a simple asking ,Next time when you have a great guess like this gentleman, would you ask when the company's will start to release professional tennis pro stock for the public without additional customization.
    I understand that the weight could be a issue but maybe bit lighter than the actual racquet weight the pro's are using but at least something very close because so can experience what it is to hit with a pro racquet is a bit unfair what we have to keep up with we should have a choice at least.
    For example Novak frame is near to impossible to find anywhere or the price is from a other planet. 😀🌏
    Hope my message makes sense and come across correct.

    As far as sound feedback, like using a dampener to get more a low pitched “thud”. My ezone had an annoying higher pitched pinging without a dampener. My PS97v13 not so much but still put a dampener to further lower the resonance pitch.

Also, comparing Head Pro damp and Lux Sampras O, I can definetely feel the more vibration with the second option. So it is also exxtremely important whivh daampener you use in the end.

    Thx for a GREAT interview. RE: sound, i have zero opinion, lol. I just like to hit the sweet spot, lol!
    I have recently purchased Head MLT (16) for the first time and am anxious to see how I like it or not. I assume I will be breaking strings more regularly. After Dennis suggested changing stings more often I was wondering can anyone please set me straight on whether I should entertain the idea of getting my own string machine? I have no idea where to start the research and have never strung a racket. I currently pay about $18-$20 for the labor and I bought single sets of Head MLT for about $9/set. I'll be stringing primarily for myself, daughter and her fiancé. I do want her out of the poly string and will try MLT 16 and see if she likes that and also try MLT 17. Then maybe the LYNX TOUCH. Total cost to string is about $37 when the stringer provides string, which I will not allow any longer. So any advice would be much appreciated. I just know I want to move away from poly to protect wrist issues developing.
