Head Speed Tour 2026 Tennis Racquet Strung - Black/White SP26

The HEAD Speed Tour 2026 is a tennis racquet that adds precision control and extra spin to the Speed series – created in response to feedback from tour-level players. For the first time in the Speed family, HEAD introduces a smaller 97 sq in (626 cm²) head for more control and feel for players with fast, confident swings, while keeping the modern Speed DNA. Endorsed by Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner & Karolína Muchová.

Key Features

• Smaller head, sharper control – the 97 sq in head gives a more precise response and better feel on clean contact, ideal for players who take the ball early and swing out.
• More spin than the Speed Pro – the 16 × 19 string pattern offers more spin potential than the Speed Pro's 18 × 20, helping you shape heavy topspin and kick serves without losing control.
• Stability for fast swings – at 305g unstrung with a head-light balance, it stays stable through contact while staying quick through the air.
• Auxetic 2.0 – adapts at impact for a more connected feel and real-time feedback on aggressive shots.
• Hy-Bor (shaft) – an aerospace-inspired material blend that improves perceived stability and gives HEAD's signature solid impact feel.
• Graphene Inside – positioned to strengthen the frame, increase stability and optimise energy transfer from racquet to ball.
• Directional Drilling – optimised grommet alignment expands the sweet spot and improves power while keeping a plush, controlled response.
• Power Grommets – enlarged grommets maximise string movement for added power and touch.
• Speed Pattern – a tailored string layout that balances controlled power with a spin-friendly response.
• Speed Beam – aerodynamic beam geometry increases swing speed and power for modern, fast-paced tennis.

Performance Overview

Weighing 305g unstrung with a 16 × 19 pattern, the Speed Tour 2026 blends control, power and increased spin potential, sitting between the Speed Pro and Speed MP in the Tennis Tour Racquet Compass. Hy-Bor in the shaft adds perceived stability and a solid impact feel, and Auxetic 2.0 sharpens feedback – a racquet for tournament players who want precision with bite. Finished with metallic accents and a refined matte take on Speed's classic black-and-white look, it looks as composed as it plays.
