The SPEED JR, the lighter junior version of the adult MP model, is ideal for ambitious young players aged 9 to 11 who look up to HEAD Ambassador Jannik Sinner, who promotes the adult SPEED series. Like the adult SPEED models, this racket has been updated with Hy-Bor — a blend of cutting-edge materials mainly used in the aerospace industry — embedded in the handle to improve perceived stability and impact solidity. The metallic colors and matte finish add a fresh, contemporary touch to the iconic black and white design of the SPEED series.
255 g / 9.0 oz
The heavier rackets are designed for children aged 8-10 years (25") and 9-11 years (26"). They offer superior control and greater stability but require more strength compared to lighter rackets.
320 mm / 0.4 in HL
The neutral balance offers the ideal mix of control and power. It’s perfect for young players learning the game, making play easier and more enjoyable.
645 cm² / 100 in²
Featuring a larger head area, these rackets offer greater power and a more generous sweet spot. Ideal for children aged 8 to 10 years (25 inches) and 9 to 11 years (26 inches), they make ball contact easier and boost young players' confidence during learning.
16/19
The open 16x19 string pattern, with 16 vertical and 19 horizontal strings, allows for more spin and power. The greater spacing between strings maximizes string deflection for increased spin. Ideal for aggressive baseline players seeking speed and spin.
24 mm
Perfect for children aged 9 to 11, the 26-inch racket is lightweight, maneuverable, and slightly shorter than adult models. It helps young players develop control, power, and confidence while playing.
