Head Speed Team L 2022

The Speed Team L with the “sensational feel” of Auxetic construction is suitable for beginner and intermediate players that are looking for a fast swinging, lightweight racquet that they can grow with. It’s a good option for the up-and-coming new player who wants the latest technologies in an easy-to-handle package as well as for junior players that are making the move into an adult length frame.
The Speed Team L weighs in at a light 9.3 ounces unstrung which will provide very easy manoeuvrability over the course of a match. Players will have an easier time generating racquet head speed with confidence to take bigger swings for easier power and depth on their shots. The racquet balance is even (unstrung) which should provide players with added stability and power, something needed on lighter-weight frames. The head size at 100 square inches provides a relatively generous sweet spot with good access to power potential and some comfort. The open string pattern will increase the pop off the string bed for a relative increase in power potential, provide a bit more comfort as well as enable easier access to spin. The racquet’s relative flexibility allows for greater comfort as well as enhanced feel of the ball.
On the technology side, HEAD brings Auxetic technology to the Speed line. Head’s Auxetic is an adaptive technology that optimizes ball feedback depending on where the ball is hit on the stringbed. The Graphene technology is being used to strengthen the frame for enhanced stability and power. The other technologies listed in the “technology” section further optimize what makes the Speed series so popular and a favourite among top pros like Novak Djokovic and Bianca Andreescu – the ability to deliver on a game full of speed.
The base specs on this version are comparable to the previous and popular Graphene 360+ Speed Lite, so this new frame should feel right at home in the hands of those players. Players will find enhanced feel to bring even more confidence to their games. This racquet is very easy to swing and will help to assist players in maximizing their performance where the heavier racquets might detract.

AUXETICAuxetic constructions show a unique deformation compared to non-Auxetic constructions. Due to their internal properties, Auxetic constructions widen when a “pull” force is applied and contract when squeezed. The bigger the applied force, the bigger the Auxetic reaction.

GRAPHENE INSIDEStrategically positioned in most of HEAD’s racquets, Graphene strengthens the frame, provides greater stability and optimises energy transfer from racquet to ball.

POWER GROMMETSThe enlarged power grommets maximize string movement for increased power.
