The speed racket with a nice feel - Ari Sanchez's choice of racket in 2024.
Head's new Speed series builds on the popular Alpha series. As always, Head produces quality rackets in its factory in Austria, where it also produces its skis and tennis rackets. The result of this has been superior quality and an extremely low complaint rate.
The Speed Motion has a drop shape that provides good all-round properties and responds well in the offensive game, while providing good control further back in the lane. The racket has a hitting surface in carbon and glass fiber which, together with the Head's Power Foam core, gives the racket a nice response in the offensive shots. Since the surface, as I said, is made of a mix of carbon and fiberglass, this means that you also get a relatively forgiving ball hit with good comfort. The racket is suitable for those who want a well-balanced racket with both offensive and defensive properties, but who enjoy a slightly lighter racket.
The weight is around 360-365 grams and is the lightest in the Speed series. This makes the racket easier to swing and makes it easier to get the timing right. The racket, on the other hand, has a high balance, which contributes to a stable feeling in volley and overhead games.
Also new for this year is that Head has added rubber to the knob, which increases comfort in the grip and helps to absorb vibrations from the blows.

AUXETIC
Auxetic constructs show a unique formation compared to non-Auxetic constructs. Due to their intrinsic properties, Auxetic structures expand when a "pulling force" is applied and contract when squeezed. The greater the applied force, the greater the auxetic reaction.
THE GRAPH
Graphene is strategically placed in most of Head's rackets and strengthens the frame, providing greater stability and optimizing energy transfer from racket to ball.
POWER FOAM
Power Foam is the perfect ally to get maximum power, enhancing such as smashes and bandejas, X3 or X4.
SMART BRIDGE
Each individual racket has its own character and DNA. The Smart Bridge technology is the specific and unique evolution of the yoke area construction to provide different benefits adapted to the needs of each racket.
OPTIMIZED SWEET SPOT
The identity of each racket is unique; some are characterized by control and precision, others by power. The optimized Sweetspot technology adapts each drill pattern design to the character of each racket.
ANTI-SHOCK SKIN PADEL
Special polymer foil that increases the racket's durability and protects it against impacts and scratches. It is also easily replaceable, maximizing service life.
