HEAD Speed Tennis Rackets

The latest HEAD Speed 2026 range retains the exceptional blend of power, control, spin and manoeuvrability of the previous generation while introducing Hy-Bor technology for increased stability, responsiveness and power, alongside Auxetic 2.0 for an even more connected feel, enhanced feedback and comfort, plus refined directional drilling for a larger sweetspot and plush impact feel, delivering a faster, more confident all-round performance without changing the Speed's signature playability.

The Head SPEED MODEL variations explained: 

• Speed Pro: Weight 310g, Head Size 100 sq.in, designed for advanced tournament players with exceptional speed and agility on the court. The Speed Pro is a high-performance racket, has been developed for the highest level of competition and for those have who the strength to handle a heavier racket.

• Speed MP: Weight 300g, Head Size 100 sq.in, designed for ambitious intermediate players transitioning towards an aggressive baseline game. It offers a balance of power and control in a package that's more manageable compared to the advanced-level Speed Pro.

• Speed MP L: Weight 280g, Head Size 100 sq.in, is geared towards aggressive baseliners who prioritise manoeuvrability. This lighter weight is a key differentiator between the Speed MP L and the regular Speed MP (around 300 grams unstrung). The lighter weight makes the racket easier to swing and more manoeuvrable.

• Speed MP UL: Weight 265g, Head Size 100 sq. in. is a lightweight tennis racket tailored for improving players seeking faster swing speed, easy power and a more forgiving feel.

• Speed Team: Weight 270g, Head Size 102 sq.in, recently revamped model designed for occasional players who want a lightweight and manoeuvrable racket with a focus on speedy swings and easier shot making. The sweet spot is large enough for power on shots, even on off-centre hits.

What is Auxetic 2.0?

Auxetic engineering gives a unique experience compared to non-Auxetic construction. Auxetic constructions expand when a “pull” force is applied and contract when squeezed. The bigger the force applied, the bigger Auxetic reaction. The Auxetic cage means you fell the impact right when and where the action happens, it is the ultimate connection between player and racket.
