HEAD celebrates a double victory: The new Flexpoint™ 4 and the FXP™ 17 string - receive the highest marks

The new HEAD Flexpoint™ 4 racquet with Flexpoint™ technology gives players a better feel for the ball and is very forgiving due to its new larger sweetspot. It is a racquet that will improve the game of tennis on every level and which, for good reason, was named the best racquet by US Tennis Magazine in its current September issue.

The Flexpoint™ 4 makes it easier to play a topspin game from the baseline, simplifies volleys and adds more power to the entire game. All in all, the new racquet gives players more control and, thus, makes the game more enjoyable.

Moreover, the racquet is lighter than its predecessor, the Liquidmetal 4, and has a larger sweetspot. The racquet is also equipped with the revolutionary Flexpoint™ technology: the racquet head has two notches – so-called dimples – and two control holes at the positions three and nine o’clock.

While the dimples reduce the frame construction by up to 25%, both control holes increase the flexibility of the racquet, on average, by up to 50%. Intensive lab studies confirm that, due to the combination of the control holes and dimples, the power can be controlled in the best way possible.

The new HEAD Flexpoint™ 4 also received a coveted honor in the USA: in the September issue of the US Tennis Magazine it was named the Editor’s Choice – which dubs the HEAD Flexpoint™ 4 the clear favorite.

The HEAD FXP™ 17 received similar high marks. The string was the test champion in the test conducted by Germany’s Tennis Magazin for its current September issue. This extraordinarily string designed for competition use gives players a good touch and a pleasant feel – for a fair price.

"The FXP™ 17 is incredibly flexible and lost hardly any tension during the entire test. As far as the playing properties are concerned, we couldn’t find any weaknesses. After the test game there were no signs of wear and tear,” according to the test results in Tennis Magazin.

The HEAD Flexpoint™ 4 and the HEAD FXP™ 17 – together, an unbeatable team.
