Head celebrates one of the game's most legendary racquets with a sleek black cosmetic
Introducing the Head Speed Pro Legend! Endorsed by Novak Djokovic, this special cosmetic version offers the same specs and playability as the standard version. Defined by a traditional 18x20 string pattern, this stick delivers a low and laser-like trajectory, making it great for players who like driving the ball through the court. Other features include a 330+ swingweight, giving it enough stability to redirect heavy pace while also offering plenty of pop to those who can leverage its mass. For 2024, in addition to giving this racquet a slightly softer feel and moving the target unstrung balance from 9 to 10HL, Head adds Auxetic 2 to the layup, a uniquely flexible material in the yolk and handle to optimize the racquet's feel and response. The Speed Pro also benefits from Graphene 360+ (labeled Graphene inside), which strengthens the frame in key locations to provide a more powerful and stable hitting experience. Ultimately, the Speed Pro Legend is an obvious choice for experienced players who want surgical targeting and great feel. The beautiful black cosmetic is a nice bonus.

For pro playersNice paint job but its too stiff for me
Great Racquet for Power, Spin and ControlI picked up these racquets after looking for a replacement for my Babolat Pure Drive Tour racquets that were no longer being made. I tried a bunch of others and this one allowed me to hit through my shots and control them as long as I kept my swing speed fast. If you push the ball, this is not the racquet for you. But if you just relax through your shots it has nice feel. The racquet is great for serves and volleys as. I really enjoy higher swing weight at 333, but it doesn't feel heavy to swing. I haven't felt the need to add weights yet. For reference I'm a 5.0 female player.
Head Speed Pro 2024In a word, superb. I have demoed over the course of few years around 20-25 racquets and developed a sense what racquet works for my style of play. I am probably 4.0-4.5 tennis player and primarily a flat hitter and occasionally use top spin and use one handed backhand. This racquet is very very stable and despite a low stiffness rating feels very solid. i can place a ball anywhere I want on the court and the precision of this racquet is superb. I highly recommend this racquet as long as you can handle 310 grams of unstrung weight, but if you are a decent player, it should not be a problem at all.
YES!If you want a racquet with good control and you hit a flatter ball : get this!
It also handles spin like a champ!
Head Speed ProThe other is stable and comfortable, I have a little hard time feeling the ball. The softness of the grip fence to damping the feeling. In addition, the grip began slipping off after just three uses. A beautiful racquet, but perhaps not for me.
The best headGood control
Hard hitter's dream racquetThis is not a racquet for average rec players; it should be labeled "ball bashers only." But if you are a person who absolutely clobbers groundstrokes, this is one of the best options for you. Hard hitters need flex (to get dwell time), low power (bring your own power, and avoid spraying balls) and a very predictable stringbed (again, prevents sprayed errors). The Speed Pro, with a 60 RA and 18x20 pattern, provides. It has a low launch angle for a 100 inch hoop but a hard hitter likely has the racquet head speed to create shape when desired and will take advantage of a straight flat ball at other times. As compared to 98 inch 18x20s, the Speed Pro has the magical ability to be almost as maneuverable (not quite, but close) while being much more forgiving, a tradeoff that works for most sluggers, since hard hitters don't tend to have the most perfect ball contact.
Awesome Speed Pro love the 2024I’ve given time, a couple months to write about this product as I think you need to with any tennis racquet until you get used to hitting with it. The previous model does have a little better launch angle however, the overall feel and playability of this 2024 racquet is flawless. The stability and overall hitting experience is better than the 2022 model in my opinion. A great choice for the baseline player wanting a racquet to battle with and give excellent results on the court. Yeah well the paint does appear to change color slightly that’s not a big deal you want a weapon on the court to win points, games and matches this is it!
Trade OffsThis update is a little more sluggish and muted than the previous gen. If you have a more aggressive game and like to take chances and use variety, this is not it. If you like to just grind from the baseline all day, it's better than the previous version. Personally I think the previous version was better as you had more room to customize.
Re: Great RacketI previously had two 2021 Head Speed Pro racquets. Needed an update. This racquet is excellent. Provides stability and power when needed. Smooth all around as well.
