That's hilarious, because i just commented about the ISO 305 Ill be trying which fits exactly what you just said. High swing weight, 98, 18x19 and 64 RA 22.5 beam. Pretty close other then that super high swing weight of 336
@@robertgarcia2266 yeah that one is pretty close. I am in love with thin beams and flexy ra. Tecnifibres are a thing of beauty indeed. Would love to know how the ISO 305 feels for you specially on contact
@@jorgeandrescoppiano Ill let you know, its coming in the mail. I have confidential at 53 on it 1.25. I "hear" its feels like a big sweet spot, lower powered, but super stable feel, with a bit of roughness. I use a Speed MP so it will be interesting
Hey man I felt so connected to what you said about the pure drive effect (Back Fence!). I played Head Rackets all my live, then years ago tested and even switched to Pure Drive Babolat as I thought I could handle the power someday and then gonna win majors. But the babolat frames totally ruined my game, I then went back to head, Radical first, now Speed MP for years. Also completely on your side with the varnish: It needs to be glossy, the new edition feels like dead and I hope they come up with a new edition soon.
Sorry Tenncom I much prefer the speed mp in fact is probably the best allrounder out there, the rf01 is only for hyper advance players. I always trust more a solid tennis player than tennis "gurus"
hey bro does the pro sw is noticibly heaiver than the 2022 speed pro? tried the 2022 pro and it doesn’t feel slugish or heavy at all. I wonder if the added sw might be the same on gravity pro which I sold because of its slugish swing
1:48 One of the biggest reasons why that paint job is no good is right there, the clay gets stuck/stained to it! If it was glossy it wouldn’t be like that.
You should try switching into the pro if you like it, looks like it suits your needs quite well. If your main issue is with the paint job then you could try the legend version which is a glossy all black version of exactly the same racket.
I’ve personally tried both speed legend and base model and there is quite a big difference in feel and swing weight wich i think is due to the glossy pain job
I used Speed Pros for years with a one hander and never thought twice about it until watching TH-cam videos on ‘One handed backhand racquets’😅Bought the Extreme Tour, Prestige Tour, recently Extreme Pros and demoed a bunch of 95 and 98s in between all that…changed back to the Speed Pro this week😅zero issues with a one handed backhand…I also bought the Vcore 98, it’s nice, but it along with the Ezone 98 felt a bit weirdly long when swinging sometimes, I heard others say that too. Just a bit odd at times.
Thanks for another great racket review!!! Been waiting for this one so badly since im a current user of speed mp! From my pov, speed pro suits your style of tennis!!! Also, do you prefer american rubber band or regular dampener? Currently i use rubber band and thinking of switching to legendary purple luxilon dampener.
The speeds feel a little clunky to me for some reason. I know they have a thicker beam than the Radical Pro. But there are other thicker beamed racquets that don’t give me this feeling. I prefer the the thinner beam of the Radical Pro. Interested to hear more about your hybrid string set up vs full bed of Super Toro.
I've had a Speed Pro since late February and I love it. The weights, balance and swing weights of the two racquets don't paint the same picture that you get when you play with them. The Pro has very even weight distribution, which makes it feel quicker to accelerate for me vs. the MP, which is more head-heavy. You can really hit through the ball with the Pro. I've had several string setups, the best of which by far is Head Hawk Power at 48lbs (low for me).
I use the MP at the moment. At first i did not enjoy it but over time and some tinkering, i really enjoy it. So what i did was put a thicker spin string in, Lynx tour 1.30, to drop the launch angle. the BIGGEST change was a leather grip. Completely changed the racket, it no longer feels as whippy and gave it some stability. I have not added any lead due to Lynx tour being heavy as it is, but so far it works great. I haven't tried the pro, but last time i went up that high in weight, it was just to much. I'm a 310-312 unstrung kind of guy. Now the next racket im testing will be the ISO 305 with confidential. It has a heavy swing weight like the speeds and not to stiff. It has 18X19 string pattern to drop the launch angle but allow spin. "on paper", this is exactly what i want, some spin, flatter shots and Plow through to rip through the court. I'm slapping a leather grip on it to balance it, like the MP and it should be good to go. I'm glad they made it 305 grams to allow some tinkering. If it doesn't work out, im just sticking with the MP, the serves are just to good.
The moment Head decides to come with a Speed 98, 18x19, 325sw, 22mm, it will reign.
And call it ND 01😂

Change title to “F the RF01 Pro… the Speeds are GOATED”
LOL. SPEEDS > RF01
The RF 01 has dramatically improved my game. Racket choice is such an individual thing…..and despite all of the numbers, usually comes down to “feel”.
Sorry Tenncom I much prefer the speed mp in fact is probably the best allrounder out there, the rf01 is only for hyper advance players. I always trust more a solid tennis player than tennis "gurus"
How is the new Speed Pro compared to Radical Pro?
More power, better feel, more forgiving, bigger sweet spot…but the Radical looks sensational lol

Not coming at you just wanted to inform
@@asta11526I was wondering about this exactly as I’m considering changing from my 2021 Speed Pros
I like Auxetic 2.0, but I hate that they bumped the SW of these racquets so much from the previous generation.
Very interested in these. How r they for the one hander? Please review v core 98 too. Thinking of that also
Yes vcore 98 pleaaaaaase !!!
I used Speed Pros for years with a one hander and never thought twice about it until watching TH-cam videos on ‘One handed backhand racquets’😅Bought the Extreme Tour, Prestige Tour, recently Extreme Pros and demoed a bunch of 95 and 98s in between all that…changed back to the Speed Pro this week😅zero issues with a one handed backhand…I also bought the Vcore 98, it’s nice, but it along with the Ezone 98 felt a bit weirdly long when swinging sometimes, I heard others say that too.

Would you prefer the cosmetics of the 2013 Speeds?
@@sideturn7168 uff. Lovely cosmetics bro

Also, do you prefer american rubber band or regular dampener? Currently i use rubber band and thinking of switching to legendary purple luxilon dampener.
Thanks. I use both tbh. Whatever takes away most of the vibrations is good for me haha.
@MPTennis ic!!! Thanks Cade!!! Since you like glossy paint job, try speed legend pro and compare with regular speed pro!
What do you think speed MP 2024 compared to the previous model.
Is the previous model feels better as it is less muted
New version has better plow through, better stability and plush
2022 was muted too
The speeds feel a little clunky to me for some reason. I know they have a thicker beam than the Radical Pro. But there are other thicker beamed racquets that don’t give me this feeling. I prefer the the thinner beam of the Radical Pro. Interested to hear more about your hybrid string set up vs full bed of Super Toro.
@@kyleclevenger3046 I know what you mean/feel
When you said that the PRO has good depth, does it mean you are comfortable to control depth with it, or does it have deep court penetration?
Both.
It's a myth. I had same feeling. Even pro has lower launch, I felt I get easy depth from it. Possibly due to plow.
Love my Speed MP 2024
Excited to hear how the speed MP compares to the new extreme line (both pro and MP)!
yup extreme vid in the making.
I've had a Speed Pro since late February and I love it. The weights, balance and swing weights of the two racquets don't paint the same picture that you get when you play with them. The Pro has very even weight distribution, which makes it feel quicker to accelerate for me vs. the MP, which is more head-heavy. You can really hit through the ball with the Pro. I've had several string setups, the best of which by far is Head Hawk Power at 48lbs (low for me).
Would you say 2022 speed MP better because its less muted?
hmm hard to say... I like these speeds but maybe a tad to muted ya. Its all personal preference.
Can you please compare the speed 2024 and speed LEGEND ?
the legend is the exact same racket with a different paint job
What are you loving about the Caviar/Super Toro combo?
Caviar stiffens up the bed a bit. Nice to have on frames that have a bit more power to em.
Speed Pros are fantastic. I think you should switch.
You should try the tfight 305
When Head Extreme Pro 2024?
hehe the legend will make its return.... don't worry
SPEED 2024 vs SPEED LEGEND
where the exteme pro review though you want to demo that before anything else
oh don't you worry.... ;)
Speed MP 2022 > 2024
You can't switch based on comments lol, but good review :)

Would you say 2022 speed MP better because its less muted?
It's all personal preference it's not like the racquets are WAY different if you know what I mean.
MP 2024 feels better in my view
