Head Speed Pro

The Head Speed Pro is built for intermediate to advanced players who want a well-rounded racket that handles both attack and defence without forcing you to choose one over the other. At 400g, it sits on the heavier end of the spectrum, so it rewards players with a solid, consistent swing.

The round or teardrop shape typical of the Speed line gives you a generous sweet spot, which means off-centre hits still feel controlled rather than punishing. A heavier racket like this generates good natural power through momentum, so you don't need to swing harder to get pace on the ball. That said, 400g will feel tiring if you're still building your technique or your arm strength. If you're a beginner or coming back from an elbow or shoulder issue, a lighter option in the 355-375g range would serve you better and reduce strain over a long session.

Beyond weight, the Speed Pro is designed with an all-court player in mind. It suits someone who plays from the back and moves forward, mixing defensive lobs with aggressive volleys at the net. It's not a specialist power racket aimed at smashing from the back, nor is it a pure control tool for touch players. If you already know your game leans heavily one way, there are more specialised options worth considering.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the Head Speed Pro best suited to?

Intermediate to advanced players with a complete, all-court game who want a single racket that handles both power and control reasonably well.

Is 400g too heavy for a recreational player?

For most recreational players, yes. A racket in the 355-375g range is easier to manoeuvre and puts less stress on the arm during longer matches.

How does it compare to other Head Speed models?

The Pro variant is typically positioned as the performance tier within the Speed line, aimed at more experienced players than the standard or junior versions.

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 regularly for cracks if you play frequently.
