Racket specs

Head size 100 sq in / 645 cm²
What it means

The hitting-surface area. Larger heads usually add forgiveness and easy power; smaller heads usually favor precision and a more compact response.

For this racket

At 100 sq in / 645 cm², the HEAD Speed MP 2024 uses the versatile modern midpoint between forgiveness, power, and directional control.

Unstrung weight 300 g / 10.6 oz
What it means

The frame weight before strings, overgrip, or dampener are added. More mass can improve stability and plow-through, while less mass is generally easier to accelerate.

For this racket

This 300 g / 10.6 oz measurement means the HEAD Speed MP 2024 sits in a manageable performance range with useful stability and acceleration.

Length 27 in / 685 mm
What it means

The end-to-end racket length. Standard adult frames are 27 inches; extra length can add reach and serve leverage but can reduce maneuverability.

For this racket

At 27 in / 685 mm, this is a standard-length adult frame, preserving familiar reach and maneuverability.

Balance 320 mm unstrung
What it means

Where the racket mass is centered. A more head-light balance is easier to maneuver, while more mass toward the head can add stability and power.

For this racket

The 320 mm unstrung balance keeps this frame maneuverable for its weight while leaving useful mass through contact.

Beam 23 mm
What it means

The frame thickness, sometimes measured at several points. Wider beams tend to return more energy; thinner beams commonly provide more flex and direct ball feedback.

For this racket

The constant 23 mm beam supports the Speed MP’s balanced, flexible all-court response.

String pattern 16x19
What it means

The number of main and cross strings. More open patterns usually help launch and spin, while denser patterns often improve directional control and string life.

For this racket

The 16x19 pattern balances accessible spin and depth with familiar all-court predictability in the HEAD Speed MP 2024.

Construction Auxetic 2.0 / Graphene Inside
What it means

The frame layup, geometry, and named structural technologies. Together they tune flex, stability, response, and vibration feel.

For this racket

Auxetic 2.0 / Graphene Inside is the listed construction package for this generation, used to tune the HEAD Speed MP 2024 response, stability, and vibration feel.

Specs verified against HEAD's official Speed MP 2024 product data. Weight and balance are published unstrung specifications.

String recommendations

The Speed MP’s open pattern and plush response can launch high, so start a control-oriented 1.25 mm string around 52 lbs and adjust by 2 lbs. Players who do not regularly break strings should use a multifilament or hybrid rather than leaving a full poly bed in the racket for months.

Starting points are editorial guidance, not a medical guarantee. Technique, ball, court, climate, and restringing frequency all change the result.

Balanced

HEAD Lynx Tour

1.25 mm 52-53 lbs

Best for: Intermediate all-court players

Lynx Tour supplies predictable bite and lowers launch in the Speed MP’s open 16x19 bed while the frame retains its plush feel.

Watch for: The string is firm; lower tension or switch to multi if impact feels harsh.

Comfort

HEAD Velocity MLT

1.30 mm 53-55 lbs

Best for: Developing and comfort-first players

A controlled multifilament preserves the Speed MP’s easy depth and long dwell time without full-poly maintenance.

Watch for: String movers may need a thicker gauge or a hybrid later.

Control / spin

HEAD Hawk Power

1.25 mm 51-53 lbs

Best for: Fast-swinging intermediates and advanced players

Hawk Power adds a crisp control response; the upper end of this starting window helps calm the open pattern.

Watch for: Use the lower number for comfort and restring when the bed stops snapping back.
