With the introduction of Graphene Touch in the autumn of 2016 and the new Speed and Instinct series, the Head racket collection 2017 is complete. Below you will find an overview of the full range!
Graphene Touch: More Vibration Damping and Comfort
In the autumn of 2016, Head introduced the Graphene Touch material. This 3rd generation of Graphene provides more vibration damping, comfort, and touch. The familiar polarization of the weight towards the top and grip of the racket remains. The Speed line received around the US Open 2016 as the first to receive an update with this new material. We were allowed to test the Graphene Touch Speed S as a demo racket, and were pleasantly surprised by the feel of these rackets. During the Australian Open 2017, the new Instinct series followed. Another innovation from Head is the Adaptive rackets, available in the Speed and Instinct series. With Head Adaptive, you have as many as 32 options to 'tune' your racket to your own desire.

The Speed series was the first racket line from Head to receive the update with the Graphene Touch material. We have extensively tested the Graphene Touch Speed S and the Graphene Touch Speed MP. This series is designed for fast frames with good spin potential.
