You've definitely got the right idea, in a way. It's going to have a more crisp, modern feel but in terms of actually power, at least in stock form, I would say the Gravity Tour has more. That being said, if you can dial in an Extreme Tour with lead tape and what not, I know so many people who absolutely love the power, spin and control they get. It just takes a lot of work and I've never personally gotten there.

Thanks so much for making this!! I appreciate it a lot coming from a fellow Gravity guy 😉

I love your MP roundups! Looking forward to watching this one! The only thing (for me) that is missing, is that you should the actual specs of the samples you used for the test as that can have impact on the outcome. Also helps people know where to tinker with lead tape etc to optimise the specs to their own games.

Hey Luca, great review once again! Can I ask you: you had a Head Speed Graphene Touch MP in the video about the Head Pro lines ... can you comment on that racket? How does it play, how does it compare to the new Speed? And if you know (and care to) what about the Head Speed Graphene Touch Pro? They were the last Speed rackets with a 22 mm beam, and I can probably get my hands on one (or both) of them (in the normal paint-job, not the blue-black one you have). I'd really appreciate your opinion. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

@RacketsRunnersVancouver

3 ай бұрын

I haven't used the Graphene Touch Pro but I am a big fan of the MP. I like the thinner beam in general although I do think 23 may be technically better for power and spin. It feels a little bit quicker and there's a more pure ball feel (although keep in mind this was during the worst of Graphene so it's by no means traditional).

@KainanBlackMoon

3 ай бұрын

@@RacketsRunnersVancouver Thank you, Luca, I appreciate you taking the time! Were the Graphene Head rackets that bad? So are you saying that you think the newest Speed (MP or Pro) are the better choice? Closer to the "golden age" of Head? I have seen this sentiment a lot lately (I have been away from tennis for a good while) that Head has come back to being closer to what they once stood for. I probably will not buy a Touch if the newer offerings are better again.

would be great a comparison between the blade and the speed mp 2024 versions

Will look into it!

Info about Radical beam was wrong, the throat is 21mm and sides are 23mm

Do you think adding some weight (5 grams or so) to the handle to the Speed MP is a good move or not? I just made the switch from the Gravity MP (with 5 grams in the handle + overgrip), and found the Speed MP a bit more top heavy and less maneuverable. So would adding weight to the handle help you think? Or just try to get used to the difference between the two more before customizing it?

@RacketsRunnersVancouver

I would probably try to get used to it first but yes, adding weight there will make it feel whippier and more head light.

also extreme tour is closer to radical mp than the extreme mp. So just looking at mps would be a mistake. Maybe also consider looking at the gravity tour if you are looking at those two. gravity tour does offer more control and solidity with the 10 extra grams at 305.

@RacketsRunnersVancouver

The Shift is a more precise racket all things considered and it also generates quite a bit more spin. The Boom is more for players with a slower, more compact stroke who want that added free power that it gives.

Because he mentioned the beam width of the radical... Are there any other rackets out there, that have a beam that gets thinner at the top like the radical?

@@RacketsRunnersVancouver thank you very much

Im a solid NTR 3.5 player (playing for 2,5 years, once a week just with a friend - no competitive yet). 33year old male. I like to hit big from the baseline more, than rushing through the net. I’m trying to play with spin but I’m not the best spin player of my technique. So if I try to hit winners, I often shoot em too flat and they are going too long - out. I’m actually playing the 2023 head extreme mp, because I thought „if I’m not good enough to generate spin with a good technique, maybe the extreme mp can help me with it. But now I’m thinking, maybe I need a more control friendly racket. I’m thinking of the speed or the gravity line. But I don’t know which is better for me and which model i should take (MP, Tour, Pro of gravity or speed) What do you suggest me to get?

Could watch you talk tennis all day man, please keep this content up. Maybe you an Beckett can start debating racquets you disagree on, finishing with a mini Netflix smash to prove a point... I'll watch whatever you put out anyway.

From different reviews of the Speed MP 2024, HEAD is bridging the gap between the Speed and Radical by offering more control. It sounds like HEAD have modified the Speeds swing weight and have stabilized the hoop by adding weight there - this apparently has effected its previously quick manoeuvrability

The beam makes for a slight loss in feel/control but by no means does it make those “bad”. When you compare it to the rest of the MPs it’s still excellent but compared to the best control rackets it’s a little less.
