As an owner of Head Speed Pro.... Mine came over the specification at 315 g and likely around 340 g SW strung so it might be overkill for some, hard to swing and not very maneuverable if you are not fit enough for the racket. On the other hand it gives me incredible amount of confidence in my groundstrokes and it is also very forgivable. The power level is great for flat hitters with not much spin. I am a flat hitter used to very low powered rackets and for me the power level is about right. It is just a little bit higher than I am used to. The racket is reasonably precise, not as precise as Head Prestige or other pure control rackets but still very precise. It is also comfortable with a low stiffness at 62 RA. You won't feel any big shocks on off centre hits and no issues with elbow whatsoever. A nice racket, all-arounder that does everything well without being amazing at anything. You get some power, control and precision. I would say the confidence that it gives you in your groundstrokes is the best feature of the racket. Only the weight might be an issue and as it said in the video one needs to be in a really good shape for it.
The 340SW is way too much for almost any amateur out there. I would like to see this racket having a 320-325 SW. Not more just to leave some space for customization.
My advice, try the babolat pure drive tour. You need an leather grip as basic grip. Thats it. Try a poly hybrid. Luxilon element for example plus völkl cyclone.
@CzechTennisGuy Respect for video ❤️thank you very much, you helped me a lot, I don't know how to thank you, you explained everything to me that really interested me, I was in a big dilemma and I didn't know what to do, but now I know, I'm moving from HEAD SPEED PRO 2022 to Head SPEED MP 2024,since you mentioned in the video that I should go to MP,and thanks for the strings you explained to me, I have one more and last question, do you think there is a difference between Head Speed MP Legend 2024 (full black color) and Head Speed MP Sinner 2024 (White color) because I don't understand someone say that is a difference in the feeling?although we know that it is the same model and the same specifications, only the paint is different and if there is, which one would you recommend? because when you told me to take MP, LEGEND immediately came to my mind because, as I said, I'm a big fan of Novak
I'm glad I helped. I will also post the link to this video under your comment so people can find it when browsing comments. I can see that the black Legend racket can be little bit different in the feel. But it can be just a placebo effect of the black color. Btw. right now I have at home Speed MP Black 2023. Looks absolutely fantastic. So if you want to safe some money, go with the Black version and don't buy the Legend, that is actually very similar to the Black version. And of course if you want to thank me in advance, Super Thanks 👍 is the way.
@@MajorMan-ij8by I would choose the golden "medium" thickness - 1.25mm for best mix of durability and playability. 1.20 mm less durable, more free power and feel. 1.30 mm more durability, less playability.
I also have the 2024 Head Speed Pro. It's a great racquet, but easily ruined by the wrong string choice. I also have a 2014 Radical Pro and I've used Babolat RPM Blast on that. RPM Blast is a stiff string in a 16x19 string bed and way too stiff for an 18x20 string bed. It will play like a wooden board: not much feel, no ball pocketing and not much power. The Speed Pro is all about plushness and feeling the ball on the strings. While it's great in some racquets, the character of RPM Blast doesn't fit the character of the Speed Pro. I've tried several strings in my Speed Pro. Head Hawk Power has given me the best results by far. Great, feel, control and power. It also has a lot more spin than you'd expect. I suggest stringing at 48lbs. There's a lot of power to be had, if you get the strings right and swing right through. Try Head Hawk Power before you move to another racquet - it'll transform how it plays out of all recognition! Avoid stringing too tight with a poly string in an 18x20 bed. 48 is good, even if you're a heavy-hitter.
Hello!!! I have a doubt between Head Speed MP 2024 vs Pure Aero 100 vs Blade 100, I currently have a Blade 98 V7 for the stability and feel, but it is very demanding in defensive situations and moving it for many hours is difficult... which of those 3 rackets is the best for an aggressive baseliner? Thanks! ❤️🎾
Hi Jesus! From these 3 rackets I would probably go with the Speed MP 2024, because it's the most versatile allcourt racket. You get everything, but it's not over the moon let's say. It's a very balanced racket. Good power, good control, good stability, feel and manooovrlbity. With Pure Aero 100 you get better spin of course and loads of free power, but the control, feel and overall targeting is not that great. I didn't hit with Blade 100, just with Blade 101L and it was similar to Blade 98, but lighter, easier and with more free power. So the Blade 100 is definitely an option, too. You just need to try them before you buy them ;-) Have fun. 🖐

speed pro is pretty amazing at slices and backhand and bad at kick serve. thats my 2 cents about it.
@@agradina Yes, the groundstrokes are definitely the highlight of the racket. My backhand always sucked but with this racket it is quite easy to play.

@@CzechTennisGuy its huge over specs at 340
