🎾 HEAD Speed MP L 2026 Tennis Racquet – Easy Speed, Confident Control
285g Maneuverability | 16×19 Controlled Power | Auxetic 2.0 Feel
Endorsed by Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Emil Ruusuvuori & Karolína Muchová
The HEAD Speed MP L 2026 is the most accessible performance frame in the Speed family, designed for intermediate players and advanced juniors who want a lighter, faster-swinging racquet without giving up control or feel. As a lighter version of the Speed MP, it offers exceptional manoeuvrability, a superb pick-up feel, and the confidence to play modern, fast-paced tennis.
Weighing 285g unstrung and featuring a 100in² head with a 16×19 Speed string pattern, the Speed MP L 2026 delivers easy power, controlled spin, and forgiving response. This generation is 5 grams heavier than the previous MP L, providing a subtle boost in stability and power while remaining quick through the air. Upgraded with Hy-Bor in the shaft for enhanced perceived stability and Auxetic 2.0 for a more connected feel, it’s a perfect step-up racquet for players developing their game.
