Although Velocity MLT is a multifilament string, Head didn’t build it with the high power level of a traditional multifilament. The goal was to create a more balanced string, one that not only has sufficient power, but also good control — a feature that many multifilaments lack. According to Tiffani, Head hit the mark here. She explained, “Head’s Velocity MLT was a nice surprise when it came to the balance of power and control. A lot of multifilament strings swing far to the side of power, and control can be a bit difficult for players who are used to hitting with polys. Although not as controlled as a co-poly, this string has a lower-powered response compared to other multis. I typically like multis in a hybrid setup, and I think Velocity MLT would be a great way to soften up the feel of a stringbed without sacrificing control.”

“Compared to many other multis, I found Velocity MLT to offer more control,” said Chris, who had no problem placing the ball effectively with this multifilament string. “With this string in my racquets, the amount of power, the arc on the ball and the depth of my shots felt easy to gauge. I didn’t get quite the heavy dip on my shots I get from something spin-friendlier, like a co-poly, but I had ample control to take big cuts at the ball while still finding my targets. The amount of pace I could generate was great, and I had no issues getting the ball away quickly to finish off points.”
