I’m an 18 x 20 string pattern aficionado, and I love rackets with a hefty swingweight. The 315g weight is a perfect balance between having enough mass without being too heavy. In theory, the Graphene 360+ Gravity Pro is absolutely what I look for. The great thing is, the Gravity Pro achieves this without making the frame stiffer which means high comfort levels. It weighs 315g unstrung, which is only slightly heavier than the Head Graphene 360 Speed Pro, but more importantly, the swingweight is a juicy 332 vs the Speed Pro’s 318. Looking at the stats, the Head Graphene 360+ Gravity Pro looks like it could be the answer to my complaints though! The weight went down, the swingweight went down and the control and feel of the racket weren’t there in the same way that they used to be. They brought the weight down significantly, and the swingweight came down with it which to me, completely changed the racket.

The Head Speed rackets before the Graphene updates were incredible rackets, but I think they’ve made the Speed rackets gradually blander and less exciting. I’ve used Head rackets for the majority of my tennis career, but in recent years I haven’t liked the direction their rackets have been going as much. It’s similar to the best Head Speed rackets just with extra comfort and feel thrown in for good measure.
