Head Graphene 360+ Speed MP Tennis Racquet Review 💚

[@andreip83]

Hi guys! Thanks for the review! How would you compare this racquet vs Pure Strike 3rd gen (16x19): power, control, spin, feel? Thanks a lot!

[@ers87]

Good question!

[@Ellison.Gaming]

Any answer?

[@CARLAlocura]

MP is more confortable, powerful and better sweet spot. Babolat is better for control

[@doudoubulle]

"+" .. I thought it was the longer version of the MP... 😅

[@M_emmerson96]

How does this compare to the previous Wilson blade 16/19? Thanks

[@tenniswarehouse]

A bit easier power, slightly bigger sweet-spot for this Speed MP, the Blade 98 16x19 offers a bit more precision, and control. We like both racquets quite a lot. Troy, TW

[@adimperial]

I've tried all the Speed MP's and think the Touch version is the best. The past two 360 versions are too sluggish and lack feel.

[@Ric7474]

Hi, I tried a speed MP XT but using the racquet the day after I develop a wrist pain, this every time I use the speed MP XT. I love this racket in terms of control and power. Do you think the new speed mp is better for my pain? I’d like to buy one but I’m scary that the new model still gives me problems

[@tenniswarehouse]

There is a bit of difference in the overall feel, and performance, with the current Graphene 360+ version having a bit lower stiffness, as well as a bit more swingweight, both of which gives it a bit more comfort, and stability on contact. So overall it should feel more comfortable, but if you want an even more comfortable feel, and maybe play it on the safe side, the Head Gravity MP 2021 will be a good choice. Troy, TW

[@ACTennis]

@Chris! Can't decide between Speed MP 360+ or Gravity Tour Which one do you prefer? I'm taking into account mainly manoeuvrability, power and control

[@tenniswarehouse]

We find the Speed MP to pack a bit more power, feels slightly more firm, and is the more spin friendly of the two. The Gravity Tour offers more control, and more comfort. The maneuverability is pretty close, maybe slightly more maneuverable feeling with the Gravity Tour, being slightly thinner. I know at the moment, Chris is loving the 360+ Speed Pro, and it's his current number 2 behind the TF40 305. Troy, TW

[@K4R3N]

I'm exactly between these 2 racquets as well, even considering buying both and keeping them in my bag! Head made some incredible racquets using this SpiralFiber tech. Really loved the Prestige Tour also, very hit-able as well. Choices!

Tennis warehouse So, I asked before about the yonex 97 vcore on the last video. Do you have a couple recommendations on strings? Also, can you give me a recommendation between these strings? Volkswagen cyclone tour(I would like a bit more power and comfort), Volkl v square(I like spin) and finally yonex poly tour pro. Thanks in advance

[@tenniswarehouse]

It sounds like Volkl Cyclone Tour would be a great option for decent comfort, power, and spin. V-Square will offer a lot of spin potential, but we didn't find the playability duration to be great. Poly Tour Pro is a great choice for comfort, feel, and power, but not quite as spin friendly as Cyclone Tour. Troy, TW

Just got 4 of these!!! It's my BIT!!! Thanks TW

[@dimep.7232]

Thanks for the review guys! I'm still hesitating the Gravity MP which I've just demoed and this one I didn't demo yet. I like the Gravity MP but want a tad more power and crisp/cleaner feel at impact. But I like the manoeuvrability of the Gravity MP (not a huge fan of the slightly head balance but the weight is ok for me) and I don't want to loose too much in this area. Is there a big difference in term of manoeuvrability between these 2 models please? I've also demoed the Instinct MP 360 and manoeuvrability was ok.

[@tenniswarehouse]

I wouldn't say the difference in maneuverability is huge, between the Gravity MP, and Speed MP. That said, if you are concerned with the swingweight number, then you might consider using our MRT services, where we can go into a batch of racquets, and search for the lowest swingweight number in that batch, for a fee.

[@tenniswarehouse]

This is a great one, and very popular option. We might also consider the Babolat Pure Strike 100 (although a bit stiffer), Yonex VCORE 100 or 98, Prince Textreme Tour 100, and Tecnifibre TFight 300 RS. Troy, TW

[@DAreturner]

thanks!

[@jimw9415]

This racquet spec is in the ballpark to the Prince Textreme Tour 100 which I love but I really like the Speed's cosmetics. Comfort is a critical for me, has the comfort level improved from the previous model and does this compare with the TT100? Thanks

[@tenniswarehouse]

Yeah, I would put comfort to be pretty similar to the TT100, and feels a bit more comfortable then the last 360 version. Troy, TW

[@basho9306]

What's the best string for the racket to get the maximum spin? And do you print the logo on the strings with accuracy like the manufacture?

[@tenniswarehouse]

We usually find some of the shaped poly strings to offer the most spin potential, specifically some of the square shaped polys like Weiss Cannon Ultra Cable, Volkl V-Square, and Tecnifibre 4S offers a lot of grip on the ball and spin potential. That said, for someone with a history of arm problems, like tennis elbow, these strings aren't the best option for arm-comfort. If you are purchasing a racquet from us, and having it strung, we can apply the stencil for you. You just need to make that request when placing the order, so maybe it would be best to make that request by phone. Troy, TW

[@ElsioPO]

Hello Team. Which string would you recommend for spin and power? I am 3.5 with good spin on my ground strokes.

[@tenniswarehouse]

Which strings have you tried so far? Typically poly strings will help yield the most spin, but they are also rather firm and not the best choice for arm comfort. Typically if you don't break strings frequently, then we usually recommend other choices besides a full poly. That is where I was thinking a hybrid might be a good choice, something like Wilson Duo Power, or build your own hybrid with something like Tecnifibre Ice Code, and NRG2 or Triax. When it comes to hybrids there are a ton of different options. And if you felt like trying a full poly, then maybe go with a soft one, like Kirschbaum Xplosive Speed, or Volkl Cyclone Tour. Troy, TW

[@ElsioPO]

@@tenniswarehouse thank you so much for your answer. I've been playing with RPM Blast 17 but I feel too underpowered. I'll definitely try some combination.

[@tenniswarehouse]

@@ElsioPO, I see, yes RPM Blast is pretty stiff and low powered. You might try a more lively powerful poly like the Xplosive Speed, or Cyclone Tour, and for more power, feel, and comfort, try the hybrids. Troy, TW

Hi TW what would be the impact in terms of swing weight /balance by adding a leather grip just bought this racket after watching your review strung it with confidential at 24 kg but would like it to make it a bit more head light thank you

Leather grips usually add about 8.5 grams, and makes the balance about 2 more points head light. Swingweight doesn't change much by adding weight to the handle, maybe a point or two increase. Troy, TW

Do you have some thoughts on comparing the Speed MP with Gravity Tour. What would I expect? Thank you. Great reviews!

[@tenniswarehouse]

The Speed MP will feel slightly firmer than the Gravity Tour, and also provide a bit easier power. Also, with the 16x19 string pattern, you should notice a bit easier access to spin, and a slightly higher launch angle when hitting groundstrokes. With the Gravity Tour there is a bit more control, feel, and slightly more comfort. Troy, TW

@@tenniswarehouse Hi Troy, just to share my experience. I bought the Speed MP, strung it with Head Hawk Touch 1.25 on 24kg and played with it for about 4 days (4 sessions 1 hour each). And I sold it the next day. I think once you play with the Gravity Tour it is very hard to switch to Speed, especially MP. Compared to Gravity Tour, I lacked the stability, the control, the depth, the slice and interesting even the power! And I was switching to Speed MP from Gravity Tour because I was looking for more power. My conclusion is that Gravity Tour, for some reason I cannot understand, had a lot more power and plough through (same strings same tension). So, I am happy to stay with the Gravity Tour. Regards

Hello guys. I am really struggling between choosing Wilson blade 104 v7 or Head speed graphene +360 mp. I like to play more flat shot From the baseline than topspin(more power and control). What is Ur advice

[@tenniswarehouse]

If you play with more flatter shots from the baseline, the Speed MP will likely give you a bit better depth control, and still provide decent power. The older versions of the Blade 104, when it was an 18x19 pattern may have been a good option, but with its current 16x19 pattern, it will likely be a bit harder to control on flatter shots compared to the Speed MP.

They have many similarities as they are essentially the same frame, but the Pro is a bit heavier, and it has a more dense string, 18x20 to help maximize control, and might work a bit better on flatter shots.

Im sure I’m missing something that I hope you can clarify. The racket literally says 1 point HL but your site and many others say it’s 4 points HL (strung). Why is there a difference?

[@tenniswarehouse]

@Son Han, We show specs as strung specs, since we all use the racquet strung; which is the difference you are seeing! Hope that makes sense! Michelle, TW

[@tenniswarehouse]

It is not listing the balance in points but in inches, so if it lists "1 HL" it is not one point, it is one inch. One inch equals roughly 8 points, which is unstrung, and then when you string it, that will add head weight, so yes our strung spec of 4 points Headlight is pretty close to the target. This has been a very frequent question over the years with Head racquets, because yes it can be confusing. Hope that helps, Troy, TW

Pretty close in power, control, feel for the ball to the Tour 100 (310). The Tour 100 plays a little crisper, and this one a little more dampened, but both offer a good amount of feel. The EZONE 100 packs more power, and is stiffer but dampens vibration really well, so it somewhat balances out the comfort.

Besides that power and spin levels are fairly close, but maybe a bit more punch with the 360+ due to the higher swingweight, but then you could increase the swingweight on the XT with some weight tape on the hoop.

For most Head racquets, there is the possibility to change the grip pallet, but they are not sold here in the U.S. You may be able to find them in Europe, such as: www.tenniswarehouse-europe.com/searchresults.html#search=products&searchtext=pallet&opt_page=1&opt_sort=alphaAtoZ&opt_perpage=20. You would also need to purchase a new butt cap, and need a certain type of staple gun to put the new butt cap on with. So it is possible, but would likely have it done by someone who has done it before, MRT or what not.

what happened if i put 5 gr to this racquet (305 gr without strings) and change the balance to 32.1 cm (strung), the swingweight is going to be less than 328?

[@tenniswarehouse]

The average swingweight of this racquet is 328, so if you add the weight at the very bottom of the handle, or right inside the butt cap, then the swingweight should stay about the same. You can't really reduce swingweight, unless you remove mass from the upper portions of the racquet, maybe trying going with a thinner gauge of string, and/or take of the dampener if you typically use one.

What about the solinco line of strings like hyper g tourbite or revolution

[@tenniswarehouse]

How does this rackets compare to the Wilson clash 100?

[@tenniswarehouse]

A bit more control, and feel, but still packs decent power and spin potential. This Speed MP is a very balanced racquet, or maybe I should say well-rounded in all performance aspects. The Clash 100 provides a bit more comfort, (although Speed MP has good comfort as well) and a bit easier power, also a bit more maneuverable. That said the feel on the Clash 100 is pretty plush, but also somewhat muted. Troy, TW

Hello TW Team, how does this compare to the Gravity MP? Mainly in terms of spin production, power and forgiveness? Thanks!

[@tenniswarehouse]

This one packs a bit more power. Forgiveness is fairly close as far as sweet-spot, maybe a bit more maneuverable with the Gravity MP. Spin is pretty close as well, as the 16x20 pattern is fairly open on the Gravity MP, but a bit more spin from the Speed MP. The Gravity MP offers a bit more comfort, and control. Troy, TW

[@Nic0wS]

Tennis Warehouse Thanks, Troy! Started of with a Blade 98 16*19, had great feeling and comfort but felt like I was missing forgiveness and manœuvrability. Tried the Babolat Pure Aero, but way too stiff and powerful for me. Got back to the Blade, then gave the Prince TeXtreme Tour 100P a go. Felt a bit better than the Blade but was lacking a bit of weight in the hoop. Now I’m trying out the Gravity MP and I feel like it has the best blend of power, feel, spin and control. Might settle with it! Thanks for the advice and informative videos, as always!

This one feels a bit more crisp, and more stable than the Touch Speed MP. There is better control, and feel compared to the Clash 100. If you want a more stable feel, you might consider the 360+ Speed Pro, or the Prince Textreme Tour 100 310. Troy, TW

Hi TW Team, love the channel and detail you all go into with so many products. It makes it a bit difficult for the average player as you like everything a lot!! I currently play with a Prince Warrior 100 (Power Level 1000) and want to upgrade. I am an intermediate player and was considering this Head Graphene 360+ Speed MP or the Babolat Pure Aero ? What differences would I feel with this comparison or should I consider some other racket? (I probably lack the skills to say if I get enough spin or power at times I don't get enough or too much, but that is related to consistent technique)

[@tenniswarehouse]

Thanks for your feedback. It sounds like this Speed MP would be a good choice, as it offers a bit more control, feel, and still has decent power, and easy spin. The Pure Aero is very spin friendly, but is somewhat similar to your Warrior 100, and although the feel is a bit different it will essentially provide similar performance benefits to your current racquet. We also really like the Prince Textreme Tour 100 which is offer in 290 or 310 gram weights. We might also consider the Babolat Pure Strike 100. That said, it is hard to say for certain which one you might like best, unless you are able to try them out. Troy, TW

[@cemedizakc5579]

This one is a good choice, and we would likely string it around 52 pounds with Solinco Hyper-G or Head Lynx Tour 1.25mm. If you have had arm problems in the past, then maybe a hybrid, or a multifilament string will be a better choice. Troy, TW

[@esrf123]

Hi! Can I string this racquet one piece?

[@tenniswarehouse]

Technically, yes, since there is 8-holes in the bottom bridge and 16 mains which means the mains will end up at the top of the head. That said, Head recommends their racquets to be strung as two pieces, so if their was any defective claim for the racquet, the manufacturer could potentially void the warranty, because the racquet wasn't strung according to their recommendations.

Too high a swing weight! A SW of 320 would have been perfect!

[@tegg02]

Head have really upped the swingweight on this model as compared to previous Speed MPs agreed. I would say its because the Gravity Mp is in Heads line up now with a low 320 SW so needed to differentiate the Speed MP from that. Personally for me a SW of 320 in a 295 to 300 g racquet is perfect. So in the Head range the Gravity MP and Instinct MP are right in that spec range. This Speed Mp will be to sluggish for a lot of recreatianal players.
