trackman just raking in the profit - but honestly, good for them. I think trackman offers the sporting world an objective measurement tool which is very much needed in gear comparison. Tennis racket fitting is totally a service I would pay for including frame selection, tension/stringing options, and finished off with customization (lead etc.).

Thank you for this detailed analysis. I purchased both an MP and a Pro to try them out and see which frame I will try to compete with later this year. I have noticed a much lower launch angle on the Pro in my few hits with it. Once I adjusted for the angle, it has been the most consistent frame so far. I strung them both with Head Hawk Power 52lbs but may switch that up - back to my RPM rough. I found the Head Hawk Power muted in these frames, but perhaps it is the frames themselves. Felt very different from my Pure Drive and Pure Strike. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Excellent review. Totally agree with you, I tested the mpL because the mp was not available and it was a nice surprise. Easy to use, really confortable, quite easy power, decent spin, nothing to say... I am sure that If you give this frame to a advanced player hiding the weight he would be really surprised when you shall reveal it is a 280 g. I assume it is a nice platform to put easily some lead if you feel that you need more stability ou increase the weight to have an heavier ball, what do you think? I will test now the mp to have a comparaison

And, I don’t produce fast racquet head speed, more moderate. I do have the Speed Pro auxetic ( your racquet) in my bag.However, I am now on the search for a lighter racquet that may fit me.

Hey John, great to hear from you and about your game! I would honestly say that the MP may be an easier step down in weight, and I think you’ll enjoy it. You still get a decent swing weight which you’re used to but easier power with the 16x19 pattern. As much as I enjoyed the MPL, if you’re used to a Pro, it may feel too far from what you’re used to (could be a shock to your arm). I haven’t found the grips running big, I use a G3 (4 3/8) with an overgrip.

Very interesting, but it seems there were only around ten balls played for each exercise judging by the graphics. For spin it probably wouldnt change much but judging accuracy on such a small sample size seems off scientifically speaking. E.g. for the flat forehand the mp had one ball flying and because of that the ellipsis seems gigantic, without that one ball it would be smaller than the pros. There obviously is a time constraint but this should be done with a lot more balls to get an expressive result, especially since you are used to one of those rackets so you wont have to acclimate to that one contrary to the other three. Still very cool video and insight. :)

The L racquet kind of get a bad rep. They're looked down upon as beginner racquets. But they open up so many possibilities for club level players. Going for short angle high spin shot winners is so much easier with these racquets, as well as if your primary server is a spin-oriented serve. I have given some L racquets a try and actually made the switch when I'm playing doubles, as they're easier to maneuver and they're a lot less tiring if you're playing a tournament.

A player would definitely be more realistic but for the purpose of these tests, the data is more reliable if the same ball is fed repeatedly for each drill/racket. A ball machine would work.

Possibly the most informative and in-depth review of the Speed line your likely to see, well done and looked like an awesome process to have the privilege to go through. Personally I loved the previous cosmetic - the new grey text looks fairly dull. A few questions - What string and tensions did HEAD use for each racquet ? - Do you feel the Auxetic 2.0 technology improves the control you get out of the PRO and MP compared to the previous versions - as those are the two frames you normally play with ?

Thanks for your comments Jamie. All frames were strung with Head Lynx Tour at 52lbs. Normally you’d adjust the tension for different head sizes/string patterns but for fair testing, all rackets had the same setup. Hard to say if I ‘actually’ had more control, but the plush and dampened feeling definitely made me ‘feel’ that I had more control. If I had more time there, I would’ve loved to test the old v new speeds on the trackman (not sure my body could’ve taken any more hitting though!😅)

Oh my God, this is what we need when we are looking for good reviews of new rackets. Great job! Thank you, bro

Ugly looking paint, that matte, velvety, rubbery, shity paint is awful.

Velvet is the most expensive and durable of the paint options tho. I don't mind it.
