Head Gravity Team 24

The Head Gravity Team 2024 is built for recreational and developing players who want a forgiving, easy-to-use racket without spending a fortune. At 400g, it sits on the lighter end of the spectrum, which makes it comfortable to swing through long rallies and easier on the arm for players still building their technique.

The Gravity Team follows Head's Gravity line tradition of round-shaped rackets, which means the sweet spot sits low and central in the face. That gives you more consistent contact on off-centre hits, something that matters a lot when you're still finding your positioning on court. The lighter weight also helps with quick reactions at the net, so if you play a lot of doubles and need to block and redirect fast balls, this racket will feel manageable rather than cumbersome. Specific details on core material and face construction haven't been confirmed for this model, so if those specs matter to your decision, it's worth checking with us directly before buying.

Who should look elsewhere? If you're an intermediate or advanced player who generates your own pace and wants more feedback and punch from the racket, the Gravity Team will likely feel too soft and underpowered for your game. Players in that range would be better served by stepping up to the Gravity MP or a more performance-oriented shape like a teardrop or diamond.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the Head Gravity Team 2024 best suited for?

It suits beginners and casual players who want a forgiving, lightweight racket that's easy to control. It's not designed for competitive or advanced play.

How does it compare to the Head Gravity MP?

The Gravity MP is heavier and aimed at more experienced players who want greater power and a more precise feel. The Team is the entry-level option in the same family, prioritising comfort over performance.

Is 400g a normal weight for a padel racket?

Most padel rackets range from around 355g to 385g unstrung, so 400g is on the heavier side if that figure is the ready-to-play weight. If you find it tiring to use, an overgrip swap or lighter grip tape can help slightly with feel.

How should I look after this racket?

Keep it in a protective cover when not in use, avoid leaving it in a hot car, and check the frame edges regularly for chips that could spread if left untreated.
