SUMMARY FOR THE HEAD GRAPHENE 360+ SPEED MP
The Head Graphene 360+ Speed MP has few differences from the old model, however I find that the sensations are a little different.
I felt better vibration damping and more comfort.
I did not feel the increase in swingweight and I found the handling very good.
Regarding power, we stay on an intermediate racket which is not extremely hard to play.
Good access to top spin, good maneuvrability, a slight lack of stability on powerful shots.
WHO IS THE HEAD GRAPHENE 360+ SPEED MP FOR ?
I would recommend this racket to players :
with a versatile style of play, more attacking and aggressive hitting,
who need a little control and at the same time a not too demanding racket,
who want a racket with good maneuvrability,
who want a comfortable racket,
who want correct access to top spin but not extreme,
who have an intermediate or advanced level of play, even good beginners with a game that can progress quickly. - Спорт
I really appreciate the english reviews! It is rare to see someone review racquets who can hit that good! I hope one day I'll be half as good a player as you are.
The post important thing is to have fun on the court, which can happen at any level fortunately :)
it's nice to see reviews from people who aren't just reading specs and projecting based purely from the numbers alone...or reading straight from the manufactures' ads.
The best tennis racket reviewer on UA-cam.
Totally agree.
Easily. TennisNerd is pretty good as well, and so is My Tennis HQ.
@@YJ-br7ug And who WOULD you rely on here on UA-cam?
@@YJ-br7ug You might also want to check out Tennisnerd. I enjoy his reviews as well. Of course, these reviews are just a starting point.
The part where he reads his notes really struck me. It just seems like he put a lot of thought into what he said about it, and for whom it would be good, and how to make it great.
Thank you for this review. Very helpful - I like the way you are decribing your feelings with the rackets. This gives a great inside, different than other youtube tester. Keep going 👍
Thank you. It motivates me to continue.
Thanks for continuing the English reviews, i love your review style, alot of information to consider, and how you compare directly to your experience with other racquets is not found anywhere else
wonderful review! Love it. Thanks for taking time and effort to produce these videos.
Thank you. I appreciate your comment.
A fantastic reviewer....especially in English. THANKS!!!!! I'm still trying to choose between this and the Speed Pro....or the Yonex Ezone 98/100. Tough decision. Need to play with this racquet for sure.
I love the way you play tennis
thanks as always Jean-Pierre! I was hoping you have a review on this. My lucky day.
Great :)
Thanks so much for the review in English. I recently purchased this racquet and I agree with your appraisal. I find this racquet a very good blend of power and control and I was surprised by how precise it can be. It is a racquet that gives me the confidence to swing aggressively and go for my shots - with a good swing weight but light feeling this racquet has me feeling confident on the court. Serving is also a nice blend of power, spin and accuracy. May not produce my maximum serve speed with this one but close enough and the other advantages make it a winner on serves too.
Ok, thanks for your comment .Some players report elbow pain but hard to say if it's linked to the racquet.
Great review as always!
Great! Continue. Thanks from Spain
Hola ! Thank you. For now I stop, shoulder surgery..
Franchement vous êtes TOP. superb reviews!
Merci !
Thank you for all your excellent reviews. Can you tell us what strings you use and like and at what tension? That would be very helpful. And thank you for the excellent videos.
Great hitting.
Hi, very good review!!
With flatter shots how does the Mp behaves?
Compared with a Pure Aero could I have more control with the Mp on flatter shots/few spin shots? Maybe adding some gr?
Of course I use a bit of spin when I hit the ball, but I also like doing some flatter shots from the baseline.
Thanks!!
Your playing technique is superb! Do some videos on technique, JP. Love your backhand!
Thank you. It could be better on the forehand and serve but I work on it, we can always improve.
Great review
Can plz tell me speed mp or prestige mp which one is more suitable ?
Hello JP, I enjoy your videos and the quality of the reviews. If you could change something it would be to reduce the wide angle view of the camera, but I don't know if you are space constrained in the back, because it will mean to place the camera further back. Other angles like from side will make it more interesting. I like your explanation of the rackets behaviour and wish the manufacturers be more helpful in providing more inside tech data to you. I'd like to see more Tecnifibre tests. Good staff on fitness...it is great. Add a link to TW in the USA. Thanks.
Hello, thank you for your message. I need the wide angle if I move laterally on the court. I could sometimes change the point of view. I'll soon review the new TEcnifibre tfight 305 and I'm waiting for an answer from TW USA, hope I'll have a partnership one day.
Hi which type of string would u recommend for Speed S? Thanks
Hello, is this racquet comparable with the aero pro drive 2013 in terms of spin and power?
Which solinco string would suit this racket the best hyperg tourbite or revolution
how much was to build the tennis court like that? can it withstand the high wind? Thanks.
Great Job as usual. Could you please make a brief comparison to 360 extreme i.e.launch angel and comfort level. Thanks
Thanks. The Extreme is more powerful, more top spin oriented. Comfort is close.
purée tu parles en plus super bien anglais... tous les talents !
Thank you ! :-)
Great Review! Would be interesting to hear your review of the pro staff 97...
thanks. I reviewed the ps97 in french and I've played with it for a few months. This racquet is not for me, big lack of power.
Team-Tennis.fr if you can put English subtitles to your French channel we can see your French videos
Pavel Rosenberg - Agreed. Mind you the (bad) auto translate on the pro staff review is quite amusing in parts!
How would you compare this this Gravity MP?
Hi Jean Pierre.. Thank you for the great reviews.. Which one you prefer the Speed or the yonex VCORE 100 300g(you made the review as well).. Thanks
For me vcore 100.
We should do some reviews together when we are allowed to travel 👍🏻
Great video! please review Head radical MP :)
I'm going to make a review on my french channel, don't know for this channel.
Another nice review! By the way I see you prefer 100 square inch rackets more, I think you can generate a lot of your own power already.
My forehand and my serve seem to require these more powerful head sizes :) On my bakchand I could use more control oriented tennis racquets.
Team-Tennis.fr I think you should try out the new Ezone 98 2020 , very nice stick!
@@cd8145 I make a video very soon about the ezone 98 and the 100.
Speed MP versus Ezone 100?
Very Nice review. I like your style of play. Have you played professional earlier ?
Thank you. I played as a pro..only in my dreams.
I am currently playing the Gravity Tour and I am looking at the Speed MP to switch to. The reason is I lack power often on the Gravity Tour but nevertheless it is a fantastic racket. Do you have some thoughts on comparing the Speed MP with Gravity Tour. What would I expect?
Thank you JP and I think your reviews are spot on!
Indeed you might have more power, you can consider also the Boom MP, a bit lighter, same shape as the Gravity. Apart from Head : Yonex VCore 98, Babolat pure aero VS.
Love the reviews! I was wondering if the elbow problems are common with this racket and how worried I should be. I liked this racquet but I have some elbow pain sometimes with other racquets. Should I avoid this one? Thank you
I don't think elbow problems are common with this racquet. In fact I don't know a racquet with which we can say it leads to elbow problems. Maybe very light racquets very head heavy. Most of the time, attention should be focused on technique, looseness, fluid swings. With this racquet, you must be sure you can swing 310g unstrung.
Thank you so much for the reply! My elbow pain started when I used a very light racquet from when i was younger, so now I know what the problem was. The speed mp will be my next racket then. Thank you again for the amazing reviews! I've watched all of them multiple times and look forward to the future ones!
@@haseeb3881 Can you update us on your elbow after one year using speed mp?
How would you compare this racket with the Head Graphene 360 Radical MP ? Thanks for your very informative videos 👍
Well it's not that far. Speed a bit more heavy, more forgiving, a bit better for top spin, power is rather close.
a review of the tecnifibre tfight 300 rs please!
I made it on my french channel. Now I can't play because of shoulder surgery.
Thanks for the great review. Is it really worth upgrading to this from the regular HEAD GRAPHENE 360 SPEED MP, or just customize the original? Thanks again.
You don't even need to customize the original if it fits you well. The need to change must come because you have a problem with your current racquet, not because of a new racquet.
@@TeamTennisfr Sorry, I meant that I am looking to get new rackets at the moment, and was wondering if it's worth getting the newer version. I've used the Prince Triple Threat Oversize from the 90's as a Junior and at university, which I like, but they're old now and they never handled opponent's pace that well. However, these Head rackets have similar specs in weight/feel, but the 360 Speed MP is about half the price of the 360+ MP. Was wondering if it's worth just getting the regular Speed MP.
Have a look at this old vs new review, it may assist you. ua-cam.com/video/BFHL-nxF3fY/v-deo.html
He sounds a bit like Stan the Man. Excellent review.
My one handed backhand is my best shot also
@@team-tennisenglish1514 Did/do you play pro tennis?
@@tennnis498 No. Not the level.
How does this racquet compare to the gen 3 Pure strike 100 in terms of power/spin/control?
I'd say Speed Mp a bit more powerful/less control and a bit more spin. Pure Strike a bit more control oriented.
What about the launch angle and the string pattern (dense or open) compared to Head extreme mp and Wilson blade 98 18x20?
Honestly I pay no attention to the launch angle. The string pattern 16x19 is versatile, less opened than the extreme MP and of course more dense than the blade 18x20. Speed MP is really versatile.
@@TeamTennisfr thanks for your reply. I Really enjoy your reviews as much as i have subscribed your channel.
There are just a few things that would your review even more great just in my humble opinion.
- launch angles
- string pattern (dense or open)
- what about flatten out balls inside the field
- maybe comparing feel with similar racquets
I would be very happy to see more of your reviews. You are doing a great job!
Hi, I am 16 years old, I am a club player, I have a good technique. My current racquet of choice is Babolat Pure Drive Lite 2015
(270 gr) and ı love it. I have been using it for 4 years. I like playing with spin. Would you recommend me a racket, please
Hi ! Your racquet is too light. I'd recommend at least 285 g unstrung, maybe more. Pure Drive Team, Pure Aero team, Yonex Ezone 100L, Head extreme mp.
@@TeamTennisfr Thank you for your great comment. Yes as you said is too light for me and ı want to buy a heavy racquet. I want a thin beam width with an easy swing racket. Such as VCore Pro 100 (300gr) and Head Speed mp (300gr). What do you think about these rackets? Do you think these rackets are suitable for a 16-year-old club player? I want fast swing a bit spin and power. of course a bit control and arm friendly racquet I'm afraid of tennis elbow. Thanks
Which do you prefer this or sx 300 and why Thanks
Maybe the Head for the comfort.
Recommendation between yonex ezone 98/100 or new head speed mp?
I was wondering the same.
Which one do you like better? Speed MP or Pure Strike 100 3rd gen?
Maybe the Speed MP for the feeling but it's personal.
Hi Jean Pierre really enjoy your videos thanks very much! Had a question, which racket would you recommend/prefer?
1. Head speed pro/mp
2. Head extreme pro/mp
3. Yonex Ezone 98
Well, what I prefer may not be what you'll prefer. It all depends on your game style, level, current racquet, personal preferences...
For me it's the Wilson Clash currently. I try the Speed Pro very soon and I haven't tried the extreme pro yet.
What do you think abaout blade 98a string pattern 18x16
The 98 S is a bit top spin oriented but it gives a good control at the same time. Not too heavy. You must be able to generate some power by yourself.
Team-Tennis.fr Thank you very much gor your reply I played with head radical mp but when i tried 98s blade it gave much more control and a better feel overall and how would you compare blade 98s and head mp speed ?
Team-Tennis.fr which one would you recomend speed mp or radical ? What are the diffrences ?
Will you be reviewing the new Radical MP
I don't know. Currently I try to recover from shoulder surgery.
Good luck with your recovery.
Your French accent and look would be well suited as a Bond villain. A tennis match with Bond where the balls are laced with lethal darts. 😂
Which racquet is better among this and Pure Strike 16/19?
Dont take it bad but the concept of "better" is a nonsense for a tennis racquet. It all depends on your feelings and what you're looking for. The feel is different, the pure strike is a bit less powerful. I'd say the speed for a more versatile racquet. The pure strike for a more control oriented one.
@@jpjounier Thanks man
Great review JP - I notice the stability issue on powerful shots. Lead tape helps.
Do you prefer Speed MP or Pure Drive? Thinking Speed MP has better control and comfort. But Pure Drive has more power and stability? Thanks!
I don't have a preference but anyway it's your feelings that matter most. I think I could play with both.
Thanks for the review. How do you compare this with ezone 98? Cheers.
Lighter, more powerful, more forgiving. Much easier overall.
@@TeamTennisfr thanks . The swing weight is 10g more than ezone, do you think that will make speed feel heavy?
Is it available in 290 GM's approx
no, 285 g : head speed S
It loooks like your playing without a ball
Speed MP vs Vcore 100 which one is better for you? By the way what is the best racquet on the market today for you?
I prefer the VCore 100. For me the idea of "best racquet" should not exist. There is no best racquet because it's a personal choice for each player. The best racquet for Federer is its raquet but it's not for me. The goal is to find the best racquet for you. For that you need to test racquets.
@@TeamTennisfr What racquet do you play?
If this racquet is intermediate power, I would hate to see high power, because this thing is an absolute cannon.
Babolat Pure Drive, Wilson Burn, Yonex Ezone 100 and others are more powerful, and even more with big head sizes.
@@TeamTennisfr yes, there are more powerful oversized racquets, but I disagree that Ezone is more powerful and I’ve never tried Pure Drive or Burn. I have an Ezone 100 and it is nowhere near the power of the Speed MP in my experience.
I bought a head speed pro that cost me nonsense, I don't know why they put speed on it because it has nothing for speed and I prefer the $40 artengo much faster and friendlier with the arm.. Head speed
A very soft racket I don't think Djokovic uses this question. Too much vibration. And very slow.👎🏻 Joko's frame must be much firmer considering that he plays a lot in the background.
I found the speed pro to be average in terms of power. For the speed, it's a lot linked to the player and ability to swing fast. Not so easy to swing 310 g unstrung. Djoko has a different racquet, heavier.
Clash or Speed Mp
For me Clash but the Speed could fit many players.
@@TeamTennisfr Which clash model 100 or 98 ? The 98 is a very nice frame
@@DJDJ-qi6wr I use the 100 but the 98 is surely nice also. A bit more control.
This doesn't look like it's performing as well for you as your Clash
Indeed I prefer the feeling of the Clash.
Also you looked as if the Gravity MP performed better for you. Which do you prefer?
@@simonmitchell8131 I'd say the Gravity but both are not the perfect solution for me. Gravity for the control/power and Speed for the comfort. Finally the Clash :)
calling your serve a "weak shot" makes me feel miserable 😂
Hehe, well it's the weakest shot in my game. In fact I've improved my serve but too late because now I have a shoulder injury and whatever my technique serving hurts my shoulder. I would not be able to serve during a long time.
@@team-tennisenglish1514 oh, i understand and feel sorry. my aim is in the moment to get fluid as possible with my serve to avoid pain in the shoulder, but still after a while it starts to hurt a bit...
@@kiesbett Good goal to be fluid.. The serve is not good for the shoulder.
"N'importe quoi!" would translate into English, in this context, as "anything at all!" (Et je trouve votre service pas du tout faible.)
Thank you :) My service is better than before because I've changed some things but it remains the weakest shot in my game.
