It has that blend of power, spin, control, and comfort that many players enjoy on all levels. This HEAD Speed MP Review deals with the latest version, the HEAD Speed MP Auxetic. MP stands for midplus, which is the “mainstream” most popular version.

At 11.2oz (strung), an 8-point head light balance, stiffness of 64 RA and a 308 swing weight, the racquet is a great option for intermediate to advanced players seeking a fast frame with both spin and power.

Head has developed several ski designs that integrate graphene in order to cater to these different needs. All of their skis are composed of a number of different layers. Graphene is often sandwiched between two layers of fiberglass.

All HEAD Tour racquets are reported in the Head CPI Chart (Control-Power Index). The chart shows different values for each model of the respective racquet silos (families). Each Tour-Racquet (not all previously released but all upcoming Tour racquets) also indicates this value on the racquet at the outer shaft.

In addition to its explosive acceleration, the Boom MP has been meticulously engineered to deliver excellent ball feedback, great touch and arm-friendly comfort.

Graphene was a new technology that was super strong and lightweight. This allowed Head to shift the weight of the racquet from the shaft towards the grip and top of the racquet head.

Furthermore, its thin and lightweight characteristics contribute to ultra-low energy consumption and effortless driveability as a diaphragm. These qualities make graphene an ideal material for creating immersive audio experiences.

By placing Graphene in the shaft of the racquet, Head has been able to take the weight saved in that area and redistribute it to the tip and grip areas of the frame. By placing more weight in these spots, the racquet can generate more kinetic energy during the shot, providing more power with less effort in the swing.

The Speed family of racquets sits between the classic control of the Prestige line and the modern power of the Extreme series. These racquets are perfect for all-court players looking for a good balance between power and control along with an arm-friendly feel and easy access to spin.

Racquets with a flex rating of 68 and higher will not flex as much at contact, and they transmit more shock because of it. For greater comfort, take a look at racquets with a flex rating of 63 and lower because they reduce the amount of impact shock to the arm.

The Speed MP is Head's first racket that can really launch the ball. It has a more open 16x19 string pattern and a lighter 300 gram weight. While its flex characteristics are similar to the Pro, these other features make it a bit more wild to control, but quite a bit more powerful and easy to generate spin with.
