Head Speed MP 2024

Previous-generation Head Speed MP. Compare the sourced specification and full buying cost before paying for a newer version.

Editorial verdict

Is it worth demoing?

Best for

Owners and used buyers comparing this exact previous generation with its newer equivalent. Keep a frame that already meets your needs; test the change with similar strings.

Think twice if

A previous-generation name is not enough to establish value. Check condition, parts availability and the ready-to-play cost; nominal specifications do not establish identical feel.

What the specifications establish

Facts and their source states. They do not predict exactly how this racket will feel to you.

Alternatives worth demoing

Editorial shortlist based on published frame class and weight; compare on court.

Head

Radical MP 2025

A 300 g all-court racket with a 98 sq in head, for club players who swing with confidence.

£169.99All Things Tennis · strung · checked 2026-10-06

Trade-off: The smaller head asks for more accurate contact than a 100 sq in frame. Check your timing in the last half-hour, not just the first.

Head

Speed MP 2026

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

£162.90Tennis-Point · unstrung · checked 2026-10-06

Trade-off: 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.

Wilson

Blade 100 v10

The Blade with a bigger 100 sq in head, for players who find the 98 a little too exacting.

£189.90Tennis-Point · unstrung · checked 2026-10-06

Trade-off: A bigger head doesn’t automatically mean more pace. If depth is your main problem, try the EZONE 100 as well.

Strings and ownership

Use the manufacturer range above where it is published. Agree the material, thickness and starting tension with your stringer; there is no universal setup for this frame.

Buying used

Check bumper, hoop, throat, grommets and grip. Structural doubt overrides a cosmetic grade. Include replacement parts and a restring in the total.
