Head YouTek Speed MP 16/19 Tennis Racquet (Unstrung) Feature

• Head does not include a cover with this racquet

The Head Speed MP is a slightly more forgiving option to Djokovic's Speed Pro and also makes use of new Head technologies such as d3o and DuPont Teflon grommets in a player-oriented package. A 100 square inch head, moderate 20mm beam, and 11.9 oz. strung weight add up to a nicely controlled frame for advanced players. A more open 16x19 string pattern than Head typically has offered in its players frames makes the Speed MP 16x19 more spin friendly for topspin players. 27.2 inch length for added reach and power.

Head introduces d3o technology in the Head Speed MP, and is a "smart" material in that it behaves differently under varying dynamic loading or impact. Integrated in the frame lay-up and positioned in the shaft area (where the racquet flexes the most), d3o seeks to help players maximize performance on all shots. High speed impacts lock d3o together within nanoseconds at the molecular level, stiffening the frame to provide maximum power. Conversely, on slower speed impacts, the d3o molecules absorb the impact providing softer touch for better feel.

The Speed Pro also uses a DuPont Teflon grommet system that reduces friction. Less friction means maintaining more of the strings energy, and a resulting slight increase in power.

Head presently only offers the Speed MP 16x19 in 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2 grip sizes.
1/8 & 5/8 grips will be available in late May.
