Endorsed by Novak Djokovic, the Head Speed Pro has earned its reputation as one of the game’s most versatile player’s racquets. As with previous generations, this 2022 update combines the precision of an 18x20 string pattern with a near perfect balance of speed and stability. The upshot is a racquet that not only plows through ball effectively but also moves fast when the pressure is on. In addition to delivering the connected feel that advanced players crave, the Speed Pro packs more than enough spin-potential to bring the ball down effectively. Technologies include a uniquely flexible Auxetic construction in the yoke, which is designed to calibrate ball feedback to stroke speed and impact location. As with the previous generation, this update has Graphene 360+, giving it polarized weighting for easier power along with SpiralFibers for better ball feedback. Ultimately, the Speed Pro 2022 is one of the most impressive updates we've seen in a while. Experienced players looking for extremely precise targeting and exceptional feel should love this one.

Comments: Demod this frame last week and I have to say its as good as the reviews say. Im a 4.5 mostly flat hitting player and this racquet worked for all my shots. Very good blend of stability and maneuverability, although on serves it was a bit heavier than Im used to swinging. Will definitely be purchasing a bunch.

Comments: I recently received my new Head Speed Pro 2022. I have been out of the game for a while, but trying to get back into it. My previous racquet was the Head Graphene XT Speed Pro, also 18x20 (2015 model). I loved the feel of the XT, and the new model completely wipes the floor. I found it was best strung with Luxilon ALU Power at around 50-52 lbs. There is a ton of power even though this is an 18x20. it truly felt like a dream when strung with Luxilon ALU Power. I have tried Hyper G and a few other strings on this racquet, but Luxilon never fails!

Comments: Love this racquet! I consider myself an "old school" player. I started playing in the mid 90s, so I'm very used to lower stiffness racquets with more control. This stick gives that feeling and associates with a very forgiving 100 square inch frame. Reminder that this is not an easy to swing racquet, you have to prepare your strokes early.

Comments: What a racquet! I have been playing with the HEAD Boom Pro for about a month and a half. I've been a huge fan of Djokovic, and I figured I'd give this racquet a try. For my first ever Speed racquet I was blown away by its performance. Unlike the Boom Pro, I found it easier to pinpoint where I wanted to place each ball. I use the Speed Pro now for matches and the Boom for practice. The Speed Pro just blends power, precision, and control all in one. I thought the Boom Pro was fun to play with, but this racquet (paired with Lynx Tour) was just an unbelievable playing experience. I also like what Head did cosmetically, the little bits of copper make this racquet look sleek compared to other racquet brands. But yeah this racquet was just a great experience, I was effortlessly getting nice stokes and just about every stroke sounded like how the pros hit. The bigger sweet spot of this racquet made a difference. I occasionally got that nice pop sound in the Boom Pro however, with the Speed Pro it was almost guaranteed on every stroke. I didn't think there would be such a difference from a 98 sq. in. head in the Boom Pro to a 100 sq. in. bed in the Speed, but that 2 sq. in. made a difference I suppose.
