The latest version of the Graphene material, Graphene XT is 30% stronger than its predecessor, which should ensure better weight distribution in the Head frames and make the racket easier to maneuver.
The Head Graphene XT Speed Pro is the showpiece of the Head Speed racket line and the frame with which Novak Djokovic will undoubtedly cause a lot of damage next season. Brand: Head Model: Graphene XT Speed Pro Head size: 100 sq/inch Weight: 315 gr Balance: 31 cm Stringing pattern: 18/20 Length: 27 inches.
The heaviest boy from the Head Speed line brings what you can expect from this frame. It is a very solid, stable frame. This frame is also very easy to maneuver from the baseline due to an improved balance, where some weight has been moved from the neck of the racket to the shaft and top, in order to generate a lot of speed without missing out on the solid feeling. What is also striking from the first test results is that the Head Graphene XT Speed Pro offers a lot of grip on the ball despite the compact stringing pattern of 18/20. Compared to its predecessor, this racket offers more spin for the groundstrokes as well as an easier kick in the serve. This is very striking: good work from the guys at Head! Be sure to string this frame with a string that adds some comfort and feel; with a sturdy polyester string, this racket is more likely to be perceived as stiff and tough on the arm.
