  • Head Speed Pro Auxetic Review
    I was lucky enough for Head to send me the brand new Head Speed Pro 2022 before its release next month, so that I could test it out!
    In this video I give you a sneak peek and talk you through my first impressions of the new frame. This is my first tennis racket review, so let me know what you think. I aim to review the new Head Boom very soon, so your feedback is appreciated!

    • @TheTennisMentor
      @TheTennisMentor  2 роки тому +2

      You’re welcome Ivan. The pro version is heavier than the MP and has an 18x20 string pattern rather than 16x19 and It’s suited to more advanced players. I hope this helps!

    Very informative. The copper highlights reminds me of the Cupra car brand, and the new Auxetic logo is also like the Cupra logo! I really like the Speed Pro 360+ which personally I find easier to swing than the MP version which although a few grams lighter is noticeably head heavy.

    I got a chance to demo the Pro, I gonna tell you, that new technology Head got, it's making a big difference. Even though it is 310 g (unstrung), when you play with it, it isn't feeling like a 325-26g racket at all. Perfect balance between weight and feel.

    Would you recommend buying the Speed Pro 360+ (previous model) or the 2022 version instead? Not sure if the Auxetic technology makes a difference. I purchased the MP version of it, so Im hesitating whether I should get another MP one or also get a PRO model.

But i also heard there is no big difference between the two. What i am most concerned about is the swing weight. TW says the current one is 326 and the older one is 329. Did you find that to be true? I would like to hear some thought. And if you did switch to the 2022 version

Do you know which is accurate? The latter seems like more of a drastic change from what I currently have which makes me a bit hesitant.

    I used previous speed MP 300 gm then changed to prestige pro 2021 -320 gm with prestige I got more power and serve better but heavy for me for baseline strokes especially slice and one hand backhand so I back to Speed Mp again in second time using it after prestige pro with 320gm i felt Mp is light 🤣 needed more weight so I added 10 gm lead tape at 3,9 position so i felt more comfortable so speed mp after adding 10 gm more lovely
    So advise me
    Speed pro 2022 with 310 gm or mp with 300 gm ?
    I am confused I’d like to play with Mp as spin easy and light wight can be modified
    But Speed pro seems to me perfect with 310 gm but worry may be spin difficult 18X20 pattern and more swing weight
    So what do you think is better for me
    Mp Or pro ?
    Thanks

    • @TheTennisMentor
      @TheTennisMentor  2 роки тому +4

      The speed MP and Prestige Pro are very different rackets but sounds like you enjoyed both in different ways.
      In my opinion, it sounds like you’d love the Speed Pro as it would fall somewhere between the two. For an 18x20 pattern, I find you can still get decent spin (100sq” head).
      I use the Speed MP for coaching but have to use the Pro for competing as the extra weight is needed for sending and receiving heavier shots!
