The HEAD SQUARED tennis racket is a midweight performance frame for players who want easy power, fast handling and greater arm comfort. Its defining feature is an ultra-headlight 295 mm balance, paired with a 100 sq in head, a 16x18 string pattern and a 23/25/24 mm beam for a lively but controlled response. Dual Tube construction combines a Torayca™ T800S carbon outer tube with a foam-filled inner comfort tube, while directional drilling helps deliver a cleaner, crisper feel and a more forgiving sweet spot.
Staff pro review:
The SQUARED stands out for how quickly it comes through the contact zone. That very head-light balance makes it feel easier to accelerate than most 295g rackets, and the dual-tube, foam-backed construction gives it a more cushioned impact than a typical modern power frame. It suits improving club players, doubles players and anyone seeking a more arm-friendly racket without moving to an oversized head.

FAQs:
1. How does Dual Tube construction change the feel compared with a standard frame?
It separates power and comfort roles within the racket. The carbon outer tube is there for stability and response, while the foam-filled inner tube is intended to soften impact shock and improve arm-friendliness.
2. Does the 16x18 string pattern make the racket launch higher?
Yes, it should give easier string movement and a more open response than denser patterns, which can help with spin and depth. Players coming from 16x19 or 18x20 may notice a livelier launch angle.
3. Why is the very head-light balance useful for club players?
A 295 mm balance keeps the frame feeling quick in the hand, which can help on reaction volleys, quicker preparation and cleaner acceleration through contact, especially for players who do not want a sluggish 295 g racket.
