Description
Play fast with HEAD’s bestselling SPEED MP 2026 TENNIS RACQUET. With the SPEED series at the center of HEAD’s ‘Tennis Tour Racquet Compass’, this model is for intermediate and advanced players who are looking for an all-rounder with a perfect mix of power and control. Endorsed by Jannik Sinner, this racquet has a 16x19 SPEED string pattern for precise power. The introduction of Hy-Bor - a state-of-the-art material mix that is mainly used in the high-tech aerospace industry – in the shaft enhances the perceived stability and the signature solid impact feel. Slightly lighter than the PRO and the TOUR and a little easier to handle, the SPEED MP 2026 has Auxetic 2.0 technology for a more connected feel to the ball.

String Pattern
Power & Spin
16/19
The 16x19 string pattern, with 16 main and 19 cross strings, is more open, allowing for greater spin and power. The wider spacing between the strings enables the ball to sink deeper, creating more power and responsiveness, making it ideal for aggressive baseline players who rely on spin and speed.
