⚙️ About the Manufacturer

HEAD was founded in 1950 in Baltimore, USA, by aerospace engineer Howard Head. Initially known for pioneering metal-wood composite skis, the company quickly expanded into other sports equipment categories through innovation.

In 1969, HEAD entered the tennis world, creating the first aluminum tennis racquet, which made its debut at the US Open. In 1975, HEAD's “Arthur Ashe Competition” racquet famously helped Arthur Ashe defeat Jimmy Connors at Wimbledon, cementing HEAD’s position in tennis history.

Today, HEAD is a global leader in tennis, skiing, snowboarding, and diving equipment, with tennis legends such as Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, and Maria Sharapova using HEAD racquets at the highest level.

With a commitment to creating performance gear for all players—not just pros, HEAD continues to innovate based on athlete feedback. The Lynx Tour string embodies this philosophy, combining technical excellence with modern control-spin demands for today’s competitive game.
