Overview
With Reflex MLT Head delivers an extremely comfortable multifilament with plenty of power and a gut like feel. Under the hood this string packs an army of 1,300 velvety filaments bonded with a flexible PU Resin. The upshot is a remarkably plush and low-vibration feel (think arm-friendly). Players looking to add power to their game should love this string. With its unique low-friction coating, Reflex offers impressive spin and durability for its class. It's also a great at reducing the impact shock of lighter, sub-300 gram racquets. All in all this is a very solid multifilament that should work very well for a wide range of players looking for comfort, power and touch.

One of the best but...I used this in a hybrid as a cross. Main was Ytex Quadro Twist. Probably the best combo I have ever felt. Reflex is very slick and the spin production is fantastic. Power was great up there with X-One and NXT Power. Now the bad. After about 4-5 hours if you have not broken them, they become a sticky mess. They are notched and snap back is non existent. I tried to play with them two more but, ended up cutting them out. I would use them in tournaments or important matches but, not for everyday use.
Plush with the great feel and powerHead has got a winner. Over the last 35 years years I've tried so many different strings and this one stands out...Happy to give it 5 out of 5. It checks all the boxes for me. I tried and hybrid but ended up with the full bed of it at 48-49. Don't know if I ever switch...BTW, my racquet is not Head!
Great stringsVery flexible, gives great spin to the ball.
Great stringGood stuff from Head. Very good power, decent spin (for a non-poly), and soft on the arm. Don't use the 17g if you generate tons of topspin - it won't last long. Haven't used the 16g so I can't comment on it. Very good for those looking for an easy-on-the-joints string. Worth a look for users of NXP and NRG. And the coating makes it easy to string.

Comments: I call this string the anti-poly. If you've bought into the marketing hype of poly, Reflex is not for you. (I don't understand the popularity of poly, unless you're okay with arm injuries and it's dismally short playing life, not that it breaks rather goes dead sometimes in 2-4 hours, which only increases the risk of injury. Not to mention you need the technique and swing speed of a top player to get any of its benefits.) Excellent ball pocketing is the hallmark of Reflex, providing comfort and power. This string works great in my Pure Strike mains with natural gut crosses. Head now has a worthy rival to Xcel, NRG and NXT.

Comments: I recently strung my Head Prestige S with Reflex MLT 17 at 56 lbs. One of the more disappointing strings I have ever used (I have been playing over 50 years). It is "easy" on the arm but it lacks feel, little spin capability and power is low. Head even prints this on their packaging so how the TW testers can make comments contrary to my experience is baffling. Polyester (like RPM) I like but at my age too hard on the arm. So, I'll go back to NRG or NXT or something similar. I can't give a good recommendation to this string.
