The HEAD Speed MP 2026 is a versatile tennis racket designed for intermediate to advanced players seeking an ideal balance of control, power, and manoeuvrability. With a 100 in² head and a more open string pattern, it offers easier depth and spin than the Pro and Tour models while maintaining the Speed series’ signature precision. The 300 g unstrung weight and balanced feel suit aggressive baseliners and all-court players who want confidence on full swings without the physical demands of a heavier frame.
Colour: Black / White
Staff pro review:
The Speed MP 2026 stands out as the most accessible frame in the Speed line up. It feels quick through the air, stable enough against pace, and more forgiving on off-centre hits than the Pro or Tour. Spin comes easily, and the response remains predictable when accelerating. Ideal for competitive club players who want a modern blend of control and power without stepping into a demanding player’s racket.

3 FAQs:
How does the Speed MP differ from the Speed Pro?
The MP is lighter and more forgiving, with an open string pattern that offers easier spin and power, while the Pro is heavier and more control-focused.
Is the Speed MP suitable for a wide range of playing styles?
Yes. Its balance of power, control and spin makes it effective for baseliners, all-court players and those transitioning to higher-level competition.
Does Auxetic 2.0 affect performance or just feel?
