A head suspension for a disk drive has a flexure extended from a load beam toward a plate. The flexure is structured to prevent fluttering. The head suspension has the plate attached to a carriage and turned around a spindle, the load beam having a rigid part and a resilient part and supported by the plate with the resilient part adjoining an end of the plate, to apply load on a slider arranged at a front end of the load beam, the flexure having a head to write and read data to and from a hard disk and a conductive path to transmit write and read signals to and from the head, the flexure being attached to the load beam and extended toward the plate, and a fixing piece formed on the flexure. The fixing piece is fixed to a resilient material at the end of the plate.
