This is my first time watching you play, and I just want to say you are extremely talented. Your consistency is impeccable because not only are you consistent but it’s with high quality shots! You are truly an inspiration man, thank you for sharing this! I just switched from Wilson Blade 98 v7 to this Speed Pro 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks to your review, I decided to get the Speed Pro. After 7 months, I can say it is everything you talked about. I am amazed that I now have a consistent backhand. In 30 years of playing recreationally, I have always felt nervous about the backhand. Not anymore. For my entire life, I could not imagine being able to hit backhands like you show in your video. Now I can and I am super excited! I think the weight and the 18x20 pattern helps. I use full bed of hyper G soft poly at 25kg mains/ 24kg crosses. I just have to make sure to use my left (non-hitting hand) to support and prepare the racquet prior to the backhand. After 1.5 to 2 hours of tennis, I do not feel tired in the arms. In fact, I add even more weight on the handle by using thicker grip. Your forehands are awesome and I have some work to do to get there. I have a semi-western to western forehand grip. That does not work very well on this racquet in my opinion. It's good, but my opponents have no problems returning my forehands. I am trying to change to Eastern forehands. I find that when I have good contact with an Eastern forehand swing, the ball becomes very dangerous for my opponents. I also own a Speed MP. Even though the stats say that it has more power than the Speed Pro, I find that with my swing style, the Speed Pro hits harder. I also find it harder to defend with the MP. I plan to add weights to the MP to make it closer to the Pro. Thanks again for your review and I hope you will be hitting the courts soon.
Hey, great the speed pro fits you well. I'm back on the courts but I lack time for my english channel, I focus more on my french channel : ua-cam.com/channels/qGAOHUzLzn65bJIPid-m6A.html I'll see if I make english vids again, I'd like.
No issues with speed pro. Very happy with it. Speed MP is too fast through the air for me and I have a tendency to just use my arm alone because it is so easy to swing. Speed Pro requires me to incorporate my legs and body more. If I played more, I would tinker with adding more weight to the speed MP to closely match the Pro, if only so I can have an addl one. Maybe if I continued to use the MP more, I might get used to it and play well with it too. Having tried my friends' racquets, I have come to the conclusion that you can pretty much play with and enjoy most racquets designed for 4.0 level and above, provided they do not cause physical discomfort. A heavier racquet is good for defense, at least for me. So I will continue to use as heavy of a racquet as the results support its use. Happy hitting, my friend
@@charlesdang2557 Thanks for reply yea when I demoed mp out and it did feel fast and I stayed with my head instinct but I would like more fast swinging racket like my Tecnifibre that has crack in base I might look up people that customize the speed mp
@@charlesdang2557 have you add weight to speed mp?... Currently ps97 v11 user and want to change to speed mp or pro...i'm looking for bigger head size anda little More forgivness... Also don't like the open 16x19 of the ps97... Any thoughts?
Great video, thank you! For an advanced player that uses a lot of topsin and wants a little more extra power on the serve do you recommend the MP version? I thought on buying the Speed MP and add 5gms in the same balance for more stability
Very nice review!!! Could you tell me the main differences between the babolats pure drive and pure aero in game? Because the specs are pretty similar... Thanks!!
Bonjour Jean Pierre, I really miss some newer racket reviews from you, there are not much reviewers out there with being that much objective like you. Thanks for that, very helpful. My game style is quite similar to yours and I have just tried the Prince Tour 100P, which convinced me, very surprising for me. I will now make the switch from the Vcore 95 to the Prince, which helps a lot while getting older ;) Are you still playing the Clash or have you found something else on the market? Best wishes from Bremen, Germany Andre
Thanks for your messager. i try to recover from shoulder injury but even after I might stop with my english channel by lack of time. I'll see. You can check my french channel. When I start I'll take the Clash but then I might change for a powerful 630 frame. Pure drive VS, Head extreme Tour..I'll try that.
@@team-tennisenglish1514 It´s really rare to find Racket Reviews from players who are on a similar level. Hope your Shoulder is fine and you decide to continue this English channel. I´m very interested in a 360+ Extreme Pro Review from you, because this Racket is only available in Europe. So there aren´t any good English Reviews on UA-cam.
Thank you. The shoulder is better, not 100% recovery but not far. REally not sure I'll continue this channel, it's complicated. But there's the french one, maybe you can use some kind of automatic translation : ua-cam.com/users/TeamTennisfr
Jean Pierre, My question is about the new Auxetic 2022 Speeds. I'm a 3.8-4.0 senior singles player: One- handed backhand, moderate racquet head speed, good touch and slice, mostly flat, some TS..Some say I should go with the Pro because I hit flat. However, others say that the Pro is too advanced for my level, and I should go with the MP... Your insight/ recommendation would be greatly appreciated!
Hey, without seeing you playing, hard to say. The Speed Pro is not too difficult but you need to be sure you can swing the racquet easely during the length of a whole match. For me the main problem is the weight. Then the power is intermediate. You should demo it, it would answer your questions.
2021 Head Extreme 360+ Radical PRO vs 2021 VCore 95 similarity/difference? I have Head Extreme 360 + Pro what is excellent, I like the power very much but I would need more accuracy.
I prefer this one, more powerful and top spin friendly. If you buy at Tennis Warehouse Europe, I can take the time to advise you in details. You can contact me here : contact@team-tennis.fr
Team-Tennis.fr You are of course right. I am considering a new racket. You used to play with the old Vcore 100. Is it necessary to put a lot of spin on shots to keep the control with the VC100?
@@MrFranzony For me no. The power level is intermediate. Then it depends on the power of your shots but for most players I think there'll be a good mix power/control.
I bought the pro. However usually pro is slower with more control and mp is more spin and power. Tennis warehouse has good deals can get military discount and other discount codes. I got the pro, with wilson resolve 16 string, at 54 tension. Hopefully its good
@@ayokay123 Thanks. Got a capsulitis. I'll be ok maybe around october.. I'll see if I go on this english channel because it's hard for me to make videos for my french channel and for this one.

Thank you ! The speed pro might be easier than the Blade.
I agree, great work! I'm considering switching from the Blade V7, 16 x 19. Would you mind a quick comparison of the two? Thanks so much!
Excellent review my friend. I like how you give perspective against other racquets. I hope you recovered well from the shoulder surgery. Take care!
Thank you for the message, very kind. Long to recover, I'll have to be patient.. Around november 2021 maybe it'll be ok.

That's Jean-Pierre's breathing.
This is a very good review, probably the best head speed pro review!
Thank you !!

How would you compare this racquet to the head radical pro? Which of has more topspin? And more power?

Pls review 360+ extreme tour
Is pure aero vs good racquet for bomb serve?..is it comfortable for arm..how is the string bed if contact outside sweet spot

2021 Head Extreme 360+ Radical PRO vs 2021 VCore 95 similarity/difference? I have Head Extreme 360 + Pro what is excellent, I like the power very much but I would need more accuracy.
Hi JP, how are you? Will you be doing a review of the Head Graphene 360+ Extreme line soon?
Hey, not great. Shoulder surgery soon so I stop playing during a long time. I publish 2 reviews on my french channel and I stop.
JP, do take care. Wishing you a successful surgery and speedy recovery. Take care.
What are your thoughts on the head extreme pro and how would you say it compares to this racket?
Extreme Pro is going to be more powerful and will have a better access to top spin.
Do you have any added modifications on the racquet... more weight anywhere, etc?
No
Do you prefer the pure strike or this racquet? Sorry for the spam just trying for figure out the right racquet for me.
I prefer this one, more powerful and top spin friendly. If you buy at Tennis Warehouse Europe, I can take the time to advise you in details. You can contact me here : contact@team-tennis.fr

What is this world coming to when we start calling a 310 gram racquet 'heavy' ?!....
I know your comment is old, but I thought exactly the same thing. “Be careful. The racquet is 310grams!” I mean, really?
@@chuckfriebe843Or people complaining about a racquet being too heavy for them and then finding out it's 300 grams. [facepalm]
It is a little clunky fir the serve for sure.
Omg! Put a dampener on it! That pinging sound is annoying.
