The Head Range

Radical

The Radical rackets are probably best known for the two belligerent scrappers who have carried this stick to Grand Slam titles, Andre Agassi and Andy Murray. The Radicals are modern players rackets that bring great speed and a combination of power, spin, control, and feel, that make them a great middle ground for players.

There are lots of different options within this family, so whatever your standard you can find a racket that suits you.

Speed

The name gives you a bit of a hint here! The speed rackets are designed to help maximize your racket head speed, but they do much more than just that.

Speed rackets are known for excellent control, and lovely feel as well as their obvious speed. The Head Speed sticks are great for players who love to attack the ball with full, aggressive swings and really take control of the point.

With options for beginner players, all the way up to the highest of advanced players, these rackets have been a real hit.

Prestige

Another of the most iconic rackets of all time, the Head Prestige was the racket of choice of the great Marat Safin. These tennis rackets ooze control, precision, stability, and feel and are ideal for players who naturally generate a ton of power.

While Head has done a good job of modernizing these rackets and making options that are a bit more accessible, these are generally better suited to more experienced players and you have to be confident in your technique to get the most out of these sticks.

Gravity

The Gravity rackets are the newest addition to Head’s lineup and boy did they do a good job with them. The Gravity rackets are designed to bring modern comfort without having to compromise on performance, and we love them.

These rackets make playing tennis comfortable and effortless, and there is an option for all levels of players. For players who look for control, spin, and comfort, these are great rackets to check out.

View All Gravity Reviews

Extreme

The head Extreme rackets are for big swinging, modern players who are looking to add some power and spin to their game. Famously wielded by Frenchman Richard Gasquet, these rackets help players hit heavy shots that force opponents backwards.

Once again, there are a number of different options within the Extreme family so you will be able to find a weight and setup that suits you.

Instinct

Repped on tour by Maria Sharapova, the Head Instinct rackets are aimed at beginner and intermediate players, offering a user friendly experience and access to plenty of power and spin.

The Instinct tennis rackets are easy to swing and help make tennis that bit easier for people starting out in the game.

Boom

Endorsed by Lorenzo Musetti and Coco Gauff, the Head Boom line is a versatile weapon that balances good spin with noticeable power.

Where certain rackets are designed to appeal to a singular dimension such as control, power or spin, the Boom family of frames offers a little of everything, suiting ‘all court’ players who are not limited to one style.

The Boom frames all offer a spin-friendly 16x19 string-bed with a powerful beam profile, but a RA (stiffness rating) in the mid 60s promotes both control and feel for a balanced hitting experience.

Typically, you can choose between a smaller and heavier Pro model, through to the larger and lighter MP and Team editions, so whatever your level, there is a Boom to suit. And with its versatility, the Boom line willingly allows you to dictate your playing style.

Head Subcategories

S

The S series of rackets offer a more user friendly option for beginner and intermediate players, with a reduced weight and more open string patterns. The S rackets are there to help out players who are still learning and developing their game. 

MP

The MP rackets are Head’s middle ground rackets. Weight wise, they come in between the Pro and the S rackets and they look to balance performance and usability. 

Best suited to intermediate and lower level advanced players, these rackets will suit a wide variety of players. 

Pro

The Pro models are geared towards performance. They are heavier, with bigger swingweights, and more closed string patterns. 

These rackets are aimed at experienced, advanced players who are confident in their strings. 

Lite

Like Babolat and Wilson, Head has a range of lite rackets which are perfect for beginners, and younger players. These rackets are easy to swing, but they are not geared towards performance at a high level.
