Jannik Sinner’s String Specifications
Jannik Sinner’s choice of strings is a critical component of his powerful and aggressive baseline game, tailored to complement his Head racquet and optimize performance.
Primary String Choice
Sinner opts for a full bed of Head Hawk Touch. This is a co-polyester monofilament string, specifically engineered to provide a blend of control and enhanced feel, which is vital for his high-velocity shot-making.
- String Model: Head Hawk Touch
- Type: Co-polyester monofilament
- Gauge: 1.25mm / 17

Tension and Performance Characteristics
Sinner’s typical string tension is maintained around 23-24 kilograms (approximately 50-53 pounds). However, this tension is subject to minor adjustments based on specific playing conditions, such as court surface, weather, and altitude.
This string configuration provides several key benefits aligned with his playing style:
- Control: The polyester material and chosen tension deliver exceptional control, enabling Sinner to direct his powerful groundstrokes with accuracy.
- Spin Potential: Head Hawk Touch is designed to maximize spin generation, allowing Sinner to impart heavy topspin on both his forehand and backhand.
- Feel: While primarily a control-oriented string, Hawk Touch offers sufficient feel, aiding in touch shots and net play.
- Durability: As a polyester string, it offers good durability, which is essential for a player generating Sinner’s level of racquet head speed and spin.
This specific string setup is integral to Sinner’s capacity to dictate rallies from the baseline, effectively combining significant power with reliable consistency and spin.
