Head Speed Tour 2026 Tennis Racket

The new SPEED TOUR 2026 TENNIS RACKET with a smaller head size is for tournament players with a fast game wanting the perfect mix of power, control and spin.

After listening to SPEED players, HEAD have introduced a new model to the bestselling series that is at the center of HEAD’s ‘Tennis Tour Racquet Compass’. As the first SPEED racquet with a smaller head size of 626cm² or 97in², and with its relatively high weight of 305 grams, the SPEED TOUR 2026 delivers excellent control. You can do everything with a racquet that is endorsed by Jannik Sinner and has a 16x19 string pattern that allows for more spin than the SPEED PRO 2026. State-of-the-art Hy-Bor, a material mix that is mainly used in the high-tech aerospace industry, has been added to the shaft to enhance the perceived stability and signature solid impact feel. The innovations also include Auxetic 2.0 technology for a more connected feel. Metallic colors and a matte finish put a fresh and contemporary twist on the SPEED series’ iconic black and white design.

Details

1. Weight - Highweight(305 g / 10.8 oz)

     Highweight racquets offer advanced players maximum control, stability, and precision but require strength and technique, making them less suitable for beginners or slower swings.

  2. Balance - Head-Light(315 mm / 1 in HL)

     Head-light racquets have more weight in the handle, providing better maneuverability, control, and precision. Suits well for players who focus on net play or quick reflexes.

  3. Head Size - Small(626 cm² / 97 in²)

     Racquets with a smaller head size offer excellent control and precision, making them ideal for advanced players who generate their own power. The smaller sweet spot requires accurate and consistent hits. These racquets are typically used by professional players prioritizing control over power.

  4. String Pattern - Power & Spin(16/19)

     The 16x19 string pattern, with 16 main and 19 cross strings, is more open, allowing for greater spin and power. The wider spacing between the strings enables the ball to sink deeper, creating more power and responsiveness, making it ideal for aggressive baseline players who rely on spin and speed.

  5. Beam - Thin Beam(23mm)

     Thin beams offer more control and precision, ideal for advanced players. They provide better ball feel but generate less power, requiring faster swing speeds.
