Head Speed Motion 2023 Padel Racket

Designed for intermediate to advanced padel players looking for the perfect blend of power and control, the HEAD Speed Motion 2023 Padel Racket can increase the venom behind your attacking shots and deliver outstanding precision. The racket uses HEAD’s signature Auxetic technology, placing materials that expand when a pull force is applied and contract when squeezed at both the yoke of the racket and on the end of the grip, absorbing vibrations so that you get clean feedback as you strike through the ball, improving your confidence and allowing you to play aggressive shots.

The teardrop-shaped frame has an optimised sweetspot that rewards accurate strokes with more consistency when you strike the ball. Power is generated from the elastic potential of the hybrid woven carbon fibre-fibreglass surface, and strategically positioned Graphene keeps the racket rigid when playing heavy smashes, ensuring energy transfers smoothly and without loss from racket to ball.

HEAD

A brand with a reputation for innovation, HEAD trace their tennis origins back to the late 60s and the creation of the first aluminium-based tennis racket, the brainchild of company founder Howard Head.

Head, a former aeronautics engineer, began a racket revolution with his idea for light yet strong frames. Attracted by the durability of a metal racket, American icon Arthur Ashe stepped in to give a player’s point of view, assisting with development of the original aluminium frame in 1969. A few years later, a HEAD racket was in the hands of a champion, with Ashe famously wielding his signature Competition to win Wimbledon in ’75.

Since then, HEAD have continued to push the boundaries of racket design, utilising all kinds of space-age materials in the quest for ultimate performance. They’ve had many more champion players using their frames, too, from Agassi and Muster in the 90s to Murray, Djokovic, Sharapova and Stephens in the 21st century.

Their modern range has options for every type of play. There’s the ever-popular Prestige, providing absolute precision since 1987, the versatile Radical with its vibrant paintjobs, and the super-fast Speed, which remains Novak’s racket of choice. More recent additions include the aggressive Gravity, endorsed by Sascha Zverev, the spin-focused Extreme, recommended by Matteo Berrettini, and the explosive Boom, a power-focused frame endorsed by US prodigy Coco Gauff. Whichever you choose, you’ll perform at your best with a HEAD racket.

HEAD Speed

Designed for fast swings and all-court play, the HEAD Speed tennis racket provides a balance of power, control, spin, and touch. The Speed’s versatility makes it ideal for anyone looking to dominate with a fast-paced style of tennis, especially aggressive baseliners who like to stay on the move and attack at every opportunity. That’s why Novak Djokovic has endorsed the Speed series for so many years, showing off its high-performance materials and technologies on his way to trophy after trophy. A highly manoeuvrable racket, it’s available in a range of weights and headsizes to suit your level.
