Racket Review: HEAD Graphene 360+ Speed Pro vs HEAD Graphene 360+ Speed MP

[@KaruesellHQ]

Hey everyone! Hope you enjoyed the video. As I mentioned, here's the link you can use for Tennis Warehouse: www.tennis-warehouse.com/?from=tenhq. Thanks a lot and let us know if there's anything you'd like to see on the channel!

[@dxgi3737]

I am a 4.0/4.5 player and own both racquets and hit with very little topspin. The S is very accurate and powerful. The MP is accurate and not quite as powerful. But, keep in mind the differences are slight. The S the best all around and the MP is little better to serve with. Your review is spot on. Thank you!!

Looking up for the new Speed Pro 2022 version review. I think the new tec in the Bridge will give a bit more Power and a great new feel. Hope you can test the new version soon.

[@GermanYinzer]

I switched to the MP this march and love it, but I have to agree with you about the grip! With my old Babolat, I could always 100% feel where my hand is placed on the racket. With the Speed MP, I feel like the bezels are a bit less pronounced, so the handle just feels a bit more round to me. Didn't know that changing it to a leather grip helps!

[@KaruesellHQ]

It does help! Try it out

With PS 100 (16x19), I used LXL alu power at 24/23. When switching to Head Speed pro (18x20), I started Head sonic pro (much stiffer) at the same 24/23 and my elbow was hurt.

[@arthurgiusi1901]

Hey! Thanks for the feedback on the difference between the pro and the mp. I'm looking forward to test the pro! Novak's racquet is known to be based on a old radical mold + lay-up. It's a 95sq / inch racquet, which used to be drilled 18x20 but now is 18x19 and extended Hope it helps!

[@userdjee834]

Just the right comparison, thank you! I've now tried both and my conclusions are almost the same, but I would need the Speed Pro in 16x19. Head is insisting on 18x20 in most of their advanced racquets for decades now, only to see pro players use those same frames in 16x19 later. That strategy didn't age well at all. If you look at their wonderful and iconic racquets from the 90ties on, few would play them today in 18x20. Just recently they re-issued a famous Pro Tour from 1994 and most people concluded - "Yeah, nice, but it should be 16x19 instead of 18x20". I tried so many in the last 20ish years only to conclude that 18x20 doesn't really work as well. We need the Speed Pro 16x19 now. This Speed Pro is laser-like, but it lacks some loop and bend, flat balls are easy to counterattack and defend in today's tennis, opponents just reuse my power. I need that the ball bends down just before the baseline, and I need it to jump up "into the nose". Plus it forces me to slug all the time, and while that is great during a hitting practice, pure fun, it makes me lose 4-6 where I would normally win an easy set. So for now I will stick with Speed MP, great frame, although it is not as stable as the Pro. And yes, the base grip definitely lacks definition 👀

[@2n1ce]

Interesting point. I have the MP and was curious about the difference between it and the pro. Wasn’t sure if 18x20 would feel as good. Have you tried customizing to get the weight closer to the Pro’s?

@@2n1ce Current MP is difficult to control for my level, balls are flying even with fresh strings at 28kg. Pro is OK as 18x20 but is not stable enough for harder hitting, hoop starts vibrating and shaking with faster swings. It was noted in TW review and another french review as well. Lead doesn't help. So basically both are more for recreational level than advanced and I sold them rather quickly.

[@2n1ce]

@@userdjee834 interesting. I use my MP when I want more free power on servers and forehands. Control on the backhand can be difficult. 28kg seems high, I play with mine around 49lbs/22kg and it feels great. What’d you move on to?

[@petestation]

Thanks for the review. Very helpful! I just demo’d the speed mp 2022, the grip definitely felt cushiony and soft. Not a feeling I’m used to. As for the mp version, I feel like it adds more height and push to the ball. My shots got more deep and tend to float off the baseline. Needs adjustment. Normally I play with the prestige. Can’t get the same feel on the mp as the prestige. Probably because of the string pattern? (Prestige is 18x19) Trying out the speed pro tomorrow. Will let you know!

How would you rate the Speed Pro against your Ezone 98 Tour? ; Great review!!

Speed Pro has much better feel, less muted, more direct and connected feeling to the ball. Better control, very slightly less spin (maybe) Much better racquet than Ezone IMO. Vcore Pro is superior to Ezone IMO as well.

[@jmasked5082]

that's interesting, i found the opposite regarding feel. Ezone tour I feel more feedback from the ball, but more stress on my arm. did you have the same strings in both? I have poly tour strike in both. I do have the original grip on the Speed Pro which has the ultra cushiony effect Karue talks about, and leather on the Ezone tour, and I wonder if that has caused the muted feedback of the Speed Pro stringbed somewhat for me.

Hi Karue, do you prefer the 2021 vcore 98 or this speed pro personally?

[@octaviannitra1845]

I’ve been playing for 4-5 years now. Took lessons about 2-3 years, but I can’t figure something out. What do you mean when you say “more suitable for topspin players”. I can’t figure this out because I play with a lot of top spin myself so since I can generate spin I gravitate toward control racquets that help me flatten out the ball. I have big difficulty flatting out balls with spin racquets. A control racquet allows me to add spin when I want to, this being my main shot but I can also hit flat because the ball doesn’t jump on me when I try to hit flat. So, why do people in general recommend spin friendly racquets for people who like to play with spin and control or low launch angle for people who like to hit flat. Shouldn’t it be exactly opposed?

[@arthurgiusi1901]

Hello! First of all, I love your videos =) I have a question : I play a topspin baseline game, and akwardly I am more comfortable with the PRO. The added control makes me swing more freely, with more confidence. Have you experienced such thing? Thanks!

@@KaruesellHQ The reason why I picked up the racquet was because I played with an ATP pro's racquet and loved it. His pro stock TGT339.2 is the same mold and layup as the retail Speed MP.

@@sunny051488 I'm about 3.5-4.0. The racquet is really easy to use. It's slightly harder to swing than the normal retail since i've weighted it to a 350 swing weight but it's not bad to swing. The retail is the same as the pro stock except there is no silicon inside.

[@EliGassert]

I currently hit with the Pure Drive Tour. I'm pretty happy with it, BUT... it has NO FEEL. I tried the Speed Pro and was blown away by the feel. Almost every shot was on fire: backhand, slice, drop, serve. Notice what's missing? Forehand! My forehand was significantly weaker and I missed A LOT more into the net. I think it's the launch angle that you mention in your videos. Low shots that I could take a scooping forehand swing at doesn't seem to grab and throw the ball over the net like my Pure Drive Tour. Is there anything you'd recommend I try? I was thinking of dropping a few pounds in string tension to see if I can compensate there. That might add back the power, but will it also allow me to pocket the ball more? It works amazingly for all other shots, except my forehand, and it feels soooo good. I really want to make it work, but I don't want to invest in the racket and/or screw up my game if I can't figure out what to do about the forehand. I'm going to demo the MP next, but given your review and knowing my play style and preference for heavier rackets, I'm guessing the Pro is the way to go for me.

Hi, is the grip issue you spoke about at the end only with the MP or the Pro has this issue as well?

[@KaruesellHQ]

All head rackets

[@davidnguyen2542]

How does it compare to Yonex 98 tour and Wilson Blade 98 v7 both 16x19 and 18x20?

[@KaruesellHQ]

I haven’t hit with the new blades yet but I will get my hands on one soon. I don’t think the Ezone is as comfortable as the speed, they don’t play similar in my experience.

[@userdjee834]

Ezone Tour is very demanding to play. Blade v7 both are very low powered.

[@LarzB]

The speed got more sluggish after the graphene touch version due to a thicker beam. Also sauce the touch version they are increasing the swing weight with each version which is too high now and also makes it more sluggish. I played with all versions since the first graphene version. Mp and pro and after the fact i enjoyed the graphene xt version the most. The later versions are a little bit more stable and feel a bit more solid, but more muted, sluggish and a too high swing weight. Although i agree that the xt was a little bit more brassy, but the speed of the racket and the response was just much better. The 360 version mp and pro was my last version as the 360+ the swing weight is over my max. Since then I'm playing with several rackets in my bag: Yonex ezone 98 2020 Wilson clash 98 Head extreme tour 98 I feel like the extreme tour 98 is kinda the follow up of the speed how i liked it. And the ezone is one of my favorites as well as the clash 98. On days that i need that extra help and margin for error i use the clash 98. When I'm fit and tuned in, the ezone 98 and when the balls are too jumpy on me and i want less power the extreme tour.

[@patricioab]

Can you compare the speed pro vs ezone 98?

[@LarzB]

​​@@patricioab the ezone 98 (recently i have had the latest version) compared to the speed pro 360+ (haven't tried the auxetic yet): - more muted - more power (too much for me) - similar sluggishness - similar access to spin - similar control as the ezone has a fairly dense 16x19 in the middle and the speed pro has an open 18x20 (more open than in the past) - less touch as the racket feels stiffer and it's more muted. - bigger serve - similar in volleys although i would give the speed the edge because of the touch What you should watch out for is the grip handle sizing of Yonex is different to head. An L2 of Yonex is in size similar to an L3 of head. I measured it without grips.

[@patricioab]

@lars B thank you. I'm playing with the pro staff 97315 v11 with hyper g 48 lbs. I like the ps97 but Want to try something a little easier for the second hour of the match. 43 years old, maybe 4.5... i think pro staff 97L, speeds pro, mp AND ezone 98 are good options...

[@patricioab]

@@LarzB have you played the pro staff 97 v11 315?

[@LarzB]

@@patricioab i have played with the v11 pro staff 97L customized to a spec higher than the normal 97. And currently i have a pro staff 97LS with the 18x16 string pattern. I have also owned and tried the original 85 as well as a 90 inch pro staff. Generally i don't gell so well with pro staff nor a head prestige 98 18x20. The head shape of those rackets are very oval and thin and i think the sweet spot of those rackets is just too small due to the head shape and the width of the head at the point of the sweet spot. If you really like the pro staff but want a little bit easier racket without loss of control and touch the following rackets come to mind (which i had and or still have): Yonex vcore pro 97 16x19 Dunlop cx200 16x19 Head speed pro also yes but now the ezone 98 Head extreme tour Wilson blade 98 16x19

[@alexgrant4864]

I really like the article on your website of the top 5 rackets for doubles. Out of these two rackets which one is better for doubles?

[@KaruesellHQ]

Glad you like the articles. We can’t say which one is the best since at the end it is a personal choice

[@masonkimble2006]

Karue, have you played the new black version of the Pro? Does it feel the same as the white. I know it seems silly but there's always a difference between white and black strings.

[@KaruesellHQ]

I have not!

[@Ni-jk5vw]

@My Tennis HQ thank you, in another Video you Said you switched to the Ezone Tour, meaning the 305 g 98 right? How would you compare it with the Speed Mp and the Speed Pro. I am an intermediate to advanced Player who hast not really played for some years and wants a stable racket with a good Mix between Control and Power. Helping me on my rather weak serve. I only use little Topspin and my current Racket is very good but old and when my hitting Partner increases speed it lacks stability ( Prince, 100sqi, 300g). Any recommendations?

[@KaruesellHQ]

I think the speed pro would be a good option. The ezone tour is not the 305 version, it is 315g but it is a bit hard to play with for intermediate players. A bit too heavy in the head. I think you should try the pro

[@Ni-jk5vw]

@@KaruesellHQ thank you so much, should i also Test the extreme pro and maybe a Wilson Racket or yonex, tecnifibre? In another Video you mentioned you liked the extreme 2020 more..and If considering the extreme would recommend the Tour or the pro?

[@victordu4694]

funny, i used to play with prostaff 95 and i tried a speed graphene S, and must say i really had a blast... much more powerful, so much spin but yet so much stability, comfort , feel and touch.. i played some time with it and now going for the heavier version..

[@KaruesellHQ]

Yes it is a well rounded racket

[@cheny8923]

how does the 360+ Speed Pro (white) compare to the previous version 360 Speed Pro (black) ? and which do you prefer?

[@KaruesellHQ]

I used to play with a custom version of the black one so I can’t judge the stock version. I do like the new one, I think if you add a bit of weight and a leather grip it is a great racket

[@sarveshs2744]

Bro which grip size will be gud for the speed pro? I'm planning to buy one.

[@MomentumTennis]

Playing with Speed MP and loving it. A bit too light for me, because with such small static weight I can't feel the weight of the racket. Trying to increase the weight a little bit. Has anyone else added weight to Speed MP and how much?

[@masonkimble2006]

Samu I play with an older version. Mine is weighted in the handle with tungsten putty and like 3-4 grams at 10 and 2. Makes a big difference.

[@MomentumTennis]

@@masonkimble2006 Hi thank you for the answer. How much did u add to handle ( do you mean under the buttcap?) How much is your total static weight and balance?

[@indoman123]

Hey Karue, nice review. I'm personally using the Head graphene 360 speed pro ( the previous generation). I'm having trouble getting racquet head speed when serving or serving with power.. Have you had this issue and do you have any ideas on how to improve this racquet on the serve? Thanks :)

[@indoman123]

And just like you said, before I switched to speed I used a Head graphene prestige pro.

[@KaruesellHQ]

You might want to try adding some weight to the head of the racket. It will help you create a bit more plow through. Try adding ten grams total at the 9-3 position

[@VARMOT123]

difference between 360+ and 360 ?

[@johanmelander4521]

Is the Speed with a 16/19 string pattern easier on the arm than the yonex vcore98?

[@KaruesellHQ]

Similar! Maybe

[@JovanniG678]

Whats your leather grip of choice and why??

[@loganderb]

What strings do you prefer in your speed pro? I have a very similar set of strokes to yours so just curious what you use.

[@KaruesellHQ]

@@KaruesellHQ awesome I’ll give it a try. I use tour bite at 57lbs

[@vujanic88]

Hi Karue. Thank you for this comparative analysis. Can you please assist me - I can't decide if I should get MP or PRO. I am quite intermediate player, oriented mostly on flat points. I know that MP is maybe more for spins, but in the same time it is more for power - but if I put on PRO Strings 18x20 tension 21-22kg will it produce the same power like MP strings 16x19 at 24-25kg? I am more flat oriented and I depend lot on my power, that is the most critical segment of my game. I produce very very little spins.... Can you please assist me on this dilemma? THANK YOU

[@KaruesellHQ]

If you like to generate power, go for the pro. Because it's a bit less powerful you'll be able to swing more confidently. You can play around with the tension so you find your optimal set up. The Pro will probably be the better option

[@vujanic88]

@@KaruesellHQ Thank you very much for this very prompt response. I do try to produce more power so that is why I thought maybe I should stick to MP which is more powerful and also like you said PRO is maybe for more professional players, while I am still at intermediate level - not so close to PRO to be honest. But in the same time MP is if I want more top spin which I do not produce. It was really complete mess in my head :-) I will then try to go with the PRO because it suits better for my flat game and I hope with less tension I will be able to add some power as well. Thank you really once again, I subscribed and can't wait for next videos :-)

I use the Speed Mp 315 from mid 2000's, I have recently improved my game to a point were I was needing more stability in the frame. Currently up to circa 330g unstrung with overgrip(s) and at 8/9points HL. I love it, all round improvement in my game but you can't be lazy! My unaltered twin stick feels like you're waving a straw if I swap the only thing that gets worse is my first serve speed mainly due to my leg mechanics not supporting my! Funnily as I write this you mention exactly what I did lol weight at 3/9 and in the handle" Great vids dude :) I also string at 59/60lbs using 130 polys to counter power

[@brunis_m]

Solid review, obrigado! I sent you guys an email via the website to try and get help to find a racquet that helps me correct a couple of specific technique issues. Not sure if it’s best to contact you elsewhere? Abs

[@craigmoore4642]

I think someone else asked this question, but I’ll ask again..., what’s go you find the difference is between the last generation of Speed Pro and this one? I demoed the new one, because of the higher swing weight, and didn’t love it. Could have been the strings though 🤷‍♂️. Weighted up my racket and that seemed to help the stability issues I was having. Liking it much more now. Having seen the positive reviews, combined with it being a Tennis Warehouse, “best seller,” makes me think I’m missing something. Guess I could give it a second chance.

[@KaruesellHQ]

I like the old one a bit more but I also played with a custom version of it so it is hard for me to judge. I think the new one is a good option if you add a bit of weight to the head and a leather grip

[@juanromeroresek3957]

Which is better speed touch or this

[@christianolsson834]

I bought the PRO and everything you said was true. Swingweight is 329 but due to it being easy to swing it doesn’t feel so. Baseline: everything’s there. Spin on backhand. No problem. It feels like a modern prestige youtek 16/19 98”. Feel is awesome. I grow into the racquet and learning to trust it more and more. I was looking for a 300 gram 320 SW racquet. But this won my heart 6-0 big time. Awesome raquet. Most versatile ive ever tried! I have the Volkl Organix Super G 10-295. That’s a good racquet but this is better imo.

[@djeeee911]

Could you talk a little bit more about one hand backhand ? For exemple the speed pro is horrible to me whereas the MP is good. So for a one hander, the comparison stops at the backhand! Thx a lot!!

[@fscanner]

I completely agree about the grip =)
