The HEAD Speed MP L 2026 is a lightweight tennis racket designed for developing and improving players who want easier acceleration and controlled power. Built for the sport of tennis, it offers a forgiving 100 in² head to increase consistency and confidence from the baseline. The lighter construction allows faster swing speeds with reduced physical demand, making it ideal for players transitioning from beginner or junior frames. It delivers a modern balance of comfort, manoeuvrability and usable power for competitive club play.

Colour: Black / White

Staff pro review:

The Speed MP L 2026 feels quick and comfortable, encouraging confident swings without overloading the arm. It’s forgiving on off-centre hits and provides easy depth, which helps maintain rally quality under pressure. While not as stable as the heavier Speed models, it remains controlled for its weight class. A great choice for improving intermediates who want performance benefits without committing to a full-weight player’s racket.

Product Details:

Auxetic 2.0 construction for enhanced feel and comfort

Lightweight frame for faster swing speed and reduced fatigue

100 in² head size for a larger, more forgiving sweet spot

Open string pattern to support spin and depth

Hy-Bor material layup to improve frame stability

Balanced beam design for controlled, accessible power

Ideal progression frame for developing club players

3 FAQs:

Who is the Speed MP L best suited for?

Improving intermediate players, or those moving up from junior or beginner rackets, who want easier handling and comfort.

How does Auxetic 2.0 help lighter rackets?

It improves feedback and impact feel, helping the frame stay responsive and stable despite the reduced weight.

Can the Speed MP L be customised as skills improve?

Yes. Its lighter starting weight makes it an excellent base for adding lead tape as strength and swing speed develop.
