Updated with Auxetic 2 for 2024
Endorsed by Novak Djokovic, the Head Speed Pro 2024 continues its reign as one of the game's most versatile player’s racquets. As with previous generations, this update features a traditional 18x20 string pattern, giving it a low and laser-like trajectory, making it great for players who like driving the ball through the court. Other features include a 330+ swingweight, giving it enough stability to redirect heavy pace while also offering plenty of pop to those who can leverage its mass. For 2024, in addition to giving this racquet a slightly softer feel and moving the target unstrung balance from 9 to 10HL, Head adds Auxetic 2 to the layup, a uniquely flexible material in the yolk and handle to optimize the racquet's feel and response. The Speed Pro also benefits from Graphene 360+ (labeled Graphene inside), which strengthens the frame in key locations to provide a more powerful and stable hitting experience. Ultimately, with incremental tweaks to the feel, the Speed Pro 2024 keeps a good thing going. Experienced players looking for a stable weapon with precise targeting and great feel will not be disappointed.

YES!If you want a racquet with good control and you hit a flatter ball : get this!
It also handles spin like a champ!
Head Speed ProThe other is stable and comfortable, I have a little hard time feeling the ball. The softness of the grip fence to damping the feeling. In addition, the grip began slipping off after just three uses. A beautiful racquet, but perhaps not for me.
The best headGood control
Hard hitter's dream racquetThis is not a racquet for average rec players; it should be labeled "ball bashers only." But if you are a person who absolutely clobbers groundstrokes, this is one of the best options for you. Hard hitters need flex (to get dwell time), low power (bring your own power, and avoid spraying balls) and a very predictable stringbed (again, prevents sprayed errors). The Speed Pro, with a 60 RA and 18x20 pattern, provides. It has a low launch angle for a 100 inch hoop but a hard hitter likely has the racquet head speed to create shape when desired and will take advantage of a straight flat ball at other times. As compared to 98 inch 18x20s, the Speed Pro has the magical ability to be almost as maneuverable (not quite, but close) while being much more forgiving, a tradeoff that works for most sluggers, since hard hitters don't tend to have the most perfect ball contact.
Awesome Speed Pro love the 2024I’ve given time, a couple months to write about this product as I think you need to with any tennis racquet until you get used to hitting with it. The previous model does have a little better launch angle however, the overall feel and playability of this 2024 racquet is flawless. The stability and overall hitting experience is better than the 2022 model in my opinion. A great choice for the baseline player wanting a racquet to battle with and give excellent results on the court. Yeah well the paint does appear to change color slightly that’s not a big deal you want a weapon on the court to win points, games and matches this is it!
Trade OffsThis update is a little more sluggish and muted than the previous gen. If you have a more aggressive game and like to take chances and use variety, this is not it. If you like to just grind from the baseline all day, it's better than the previous version. Personally I think the previous version was better as you had more room to customize.
Re: Great RacketI previously had two 2021 Head Speed Pro racquets. Needed an update. This racquet is excellent. Provides stability and power when needed. Smooth all around as well.

Good racquet but color problemThis racquet is very good. Easy to use, powerful, and good for control. The biggest problem of this racquet is the color. At first, the racquet is white and black, very good appearance. After about two weeks, the white color will go to light yellow. And then, it will keep going to yellow. This is so bad.

Great racquet!It's a heavy and hard-hitting control racquet. It's also great for all court style players (net or baseline).

Great RacquetThis is a great overall racquet and does not stress your arm. Tennis warehouse did a perfect job on the stringing. Very quick from order- stringing- delivery.
