Updated with a 98in² head and 16x19 string pattern for 2025
Introducing the 2025 Gravity Tour! Unlike the previous generation, which had a 100in² head and 18x20 string pattern, this update features a more surgical 98in² head and a spin-friendly 16x19 string pattern (think higher launch angle and easier depth). It also packs a more stable swingweight for added plow-through and less racquet flopping on volleys. Defined by its unique teardrop head shape, the Gravity Tour has a larger contact zone (and bigger spin window) in the upper portion of the head. The result is a uniquely comfortable and responsive modern player's racquet. For 2025, Head adds Auxetic 2 a layup construction in the yoke and handle to optimize the feel and response. This model also has Graphene inside, strengthening the frame in key locations to provide a more powerful and stable hitting experience. Ultimately, this update represents more than an incremental tweak - it's a new racquet that pairs spin-friendly precision with the undeniable comfort and buttery feel for which the Gravity franchise is known.

Almost reminds of Head's Youtek IG Speed ProLove this racquet. 4.0, all-court player in the Atlanta area. Full swing top spin strokes w/one handed backhand.
Long ago I played with the Youtek IG Speed Pro which I still have and love, just a tad heavier than what I want these days. Since then, I've primarily been playing with 2016 XT Prestige Pro and 2018 Graphene Prestige Tour. Love the control on these racquets, but recently looking for a little more power and spin. I also played with the Graphene 360 Speed MP, but it had no feel for me.
So, I was looking for a racquet that could provide a little more ooomph and spin than the Prestige and more feel than the Speed MP. For me, this 2025 Gravity Tour is it.
CONTROL and POWER
At first, it flew on me a bit, but I got use to it quickly. And in my first match with it, I was able to really dial in the higher launch angle with my topspin, as well as slice approaches (slices would at first pop off too high, but once I figured it out, felt great and am able to keep it low and drive through it). While it doesn't have the control Prestige has, it's not far off–the 22mm beam and 98in size helps. It didn't take long for me to tame it, and the 16x19 pattern helps give me more topspin that keeps the ball in the court for deep shots, as well as short angles.
VOLLEYS
This racquet felt really quick and maneuverable, had no problems when I needed to react quickly. It also feels pretty solid when handling hard shots, but still allowing good feel on touch volleys.
WEIGHT
While it's 305g unstrung, I'll be adding a little weight (probably to 320g) for some added plow through, which is what I loved about the Youtek Speed Pro that's 335g unstrung. I also noticed that the updated head shape of the Gravity Tour is exactly that of the Youtek. This, for me, opens up the sweet spot higher on the racquet where it should be.
Eager to see how it hits after adding some weight. I'll probably start by using a leather grip with one layer of overgrip (adds weight and more feel to the bevels). Will see how that feels and see if I need to then add a little weight to 10 and 2 or 9 and 3.
Overall, coming from control racquets, the Gravity Tour provides me with the little extra power and spin I was looking for, but not losing much control or feel I couldn't find in most other modern racquets I demo.
Think Graphene 360+ Prestige Pro on Steroids!That’s the best description I can provide to express what the Gravity Tour feels like. Soft but crisp at the same time, easy to swing, cut through the air perfectly, outstanding feel, precision, and power on tap. Whatever Prestige Pro does, Gravity Tour does it better while preserving the original extension of the arm sensation.
Both frames have a 22mm thickness across the entire mold, which is what I gravitate towards usually. The tear drop shape is positively noticeable.

Weird head shape, needs weightI just demoed this racquet. I thought multifilament strings would give it more power, but groundstrokes weren’t great. Also, Gravity racquets’ head shapes are weird
Comfort, control, launch angleI demoed this recently and decided to switch. Loved the comfort, easier on my arm. Good plow through, hits the target and love the higher launch angle, few net shots. Volleys are solid and big hitters don't push me around. You do have to provide the head speed, no pushing. Gone from 100 to 98 and no big deal. Nice stick.
Great racquetI test and play almost all racquets. I have played all generations of the Pro and ordered the new Tour after a test. Since I customize almost all frames to suit my needs, I was surprised at how well this racquet plays without any adjustments. Very good power and control and stable at the same time. The tester was strung with the Hawk Touch with 23/22 kg. I don't understand the negative comments about power.
My new missile launcher!Backdrop: I am an avid lover of the Gravity Pro and absolutely loved the 23 version. However, I demoed the Tour and instantly loved it for a few things it does better than the GP.
1. Easier to use and faster through the air
2. Access to spin allows me to hit some new type of shots
3. The 305 gram weight seems heftier than the Blade 98
4. Sound when hitting sweet spot is loud thud
5. Overall fun factor is awesome!
Comparing it to the 23 GP I realize I give up a bit of control and touch but the Tour makes up for it in power and quickness. I may still be in honeymoon phase after a month or so of using it but I am 99.7% convinced it's a switch for me and I am looking to buy a second Tour.
UnderwhelmingThis racquet received a lot of hype, even from me, but it has its short comings. Preface, I'm a strong 3.5-4.0. Great feel, but lacks power and control with high launch angle. It's not very maneuverable due to its balance but very comfortable frame. Maybe with some modifications, I will retire my pro stock racquets and switch to this.
Finally a Perfect Frame for MeHead really knocked it out of the park with this one. It's almost like the designers read my wish list and made it happen. Specs wise, this is it for me. Added some weight at 3&9, but less than I usually do because the balance point was fairly close to what I like. Soft, precise, plenty of spin and good plow through (again, keep in mind I added 8 grams). Finally a 98 16x19 that feels smooth without sacrificing much connectivity. The cosmetic looks even better in person. I absolutely love this thing.

Not a big fanDemoed one once it became available and played for about 5 hours rally + 3 hours matches. Head did make some upgrades on their new Gravity Tour. I like how they decrease the head size but the string pattern still looks super open. It would be much better if they can make a 18x19 or 16x20 racquet. The new Gravity Tour is good in every aspect but not superb. I personally don't like the new grommet which makes a whistle like sound when you swing the racquet. Overall it's a good racquet but definitely not the hyped one on the internet.

Awesome, well rounded racquet!This racquet has great spin and great sweet spot for a 98! I’ve played the Speed Pro but didn’t like it on serve so I switched to the Radical MP. I didn’t love the sweet spot of the Radical MP and wanted something a little more forgiving. I gave the Speed MP a shot but couldn’t control my forehand at times with the added power I received from that frame. FINALLY, I demoed this Gravity Tour 2025 and loved it! It gives me more margin over the net than my Radical MP along with more spin and bigger sweet spot. The Gravity Tour also gives me much more control and predictability than the speed mp. This is the Goldilocks racquet for me in Head's lineup! I play 4.5 - open level tournaments! This will be my new stick I’m just waiting for it to release!
