Head Speed MP

Head’s all-rounder: 300 g, for players who split their time between the baseline and the net.

Who should try it?

Consider it if you play singles and doubles and want one racket that does a bit of everything.

What to watch for

Check you can still swing it freely at the end of a long session. If your preparation starts to slow, a lighter model may suit you better.

How to demo it

Play some doubles points if you can. Returns, poaches and lobs in quick succession tell you more about an all-rounder than ten minutes of baseline rallying.

Worth comparing

From published reviews

What reviewers say

These are other reviewers’ findings, not our own play tests. Their strings, tension and playing style may differ from yours.

Most testers found it a clear step forward: more stable and better-feeling, if a little heavier to swing.

They liked

  • Better stability than the last version
  • A crisp, solid feel that isn't overly muted
  • Easy spin with good control

Watch out for

  • The swingweight felt high to some testers
  • A few missed touch on volleys and drop shots
  • Players still need to generate their own pace

Where they differ: Tennis Express found it soft and arm-friendly; Sportega felt it was less damped than expected and took longer to settle into.
