The HEAD Speed MP 2026 sits at the core of HEAD’s Speed 2026 line-up, a benchmark all-court tennis racquet that balances power, control, spin and feel. At 300g unstrung with a 16×19 pattern and Auxetic 2.0, it blends tour-inspired stability with approachable handling for competitive and club players who want strong performance without needing tour-level strength. Supplied strung, in Black/White.
Key Features
- Auxetic 2.0 – a re-engineered material response in the frame that adapts on impact, for better feel and connected feedback on every strike.
- Hy-Bor shaft technology – boron fibres in the shaft improve perceived stability and give a solid, consistent impact feel.
- Graphene Inside – strategically placed Graphene increases frame strength, enhances stability and optimises energy transfer to the ball.
- Directional Drilling – optimised grommet alignment expands the effective sweet spot and improves power while maintaining precision and comfort.
- Power Grommets – larger grommets allow more string movement for extra power and touch.
- Speed Pattern (16×19) – a tailored string layout for controlled power with excellent spin potential.
- Speed Beam – an aerodynamic beam that enhances swing speed and racquet-head acceleration.
Performance Overview
Positioned between the lighter MP L and the heavier Pro in the Speed family, the Speed MP 2026 suits players who want playable power and controlled spin without losing precision. The 100 in² head and 16×19 pattern give accessible power with good directional accuracy, and at a manageable 300g it is quicker to manoeuvre than heavier pro-level frames, helping you accelerate through the ball, defend and move to the net. Auxetic 2.0 gives connected feedback during aggressive play, and the racquet rewards medium-fast swings and dynamic baseline play with stable control.
Who Is It For?
- Intermediate to advanced players seeking a true all-round performance frame
- Players who want power and spin without compromising control
- All-court competitors and versatile baseliners
- Players upgrading from lighter or more forgiving frames who want added stability
It excels in rally-based play and modern aggressive tennis, with a confident blend of speed, feel and precision.
