HEAD Tennis Racquets

There are many different HEAD Tennis racquets, so I wanted to create a page covering the different HEAD racquet lines from Prestige to Boom.

Today famous players that use HEAD tennis racquets include Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Matteo Berrettini, and Alexander Zverev on the men’s side and Ash Barty, Maria Sharapova and Sloane Stephens in the women’s game to name a few.

HEAD currently offers six different racquet lines: Prestige, Gravity, Radical, Speed, Boom, and Extreme. Each line consists of several racquets, so the amount of choice when it comes to HEAD racquets is quite vast. This page is supposed to help you guide you to the right HEAD racquet. Check out the latest HEAD racquets at Tennis Warehouse or HEAD’s official website.

Different HEAD racquet lines

HEAD has released the racquet compass so that players can better understand the differences between the different racquet lines. As you can see, Prestige is not on it, as it will be a fringe product and they already have Gravity and Radical for control, while the Speed is smack in the middle and the power racquets are either touch (Boom) or spin-oriented (Extreme).

Let’s go through the different lines.

HEAD Prestige

The HEAD Prestige is the most legendary racquet of the series. It has always been all about precision and feel, and although the game has changed over the years, the line still stands for the same characteristics.

You need to have an advanced level of tennis to play with a Prestige racquet. Especially with the Pro and Tour models. The MP and MP L versions are a bit easier to use, though, and will appeal to a broader demographic. But if you go for the Pro or Tour, you will need to generate your own power.

HEAD Gravity

The Gravity line is in its 4th iteration called the Auxetic 2.0. It is a control-and-feel-based line of racquets, but with the rounder head shape and larger head size than the Prestige, it is still easier to use. Well-known players using Gravity racquets are Alexander Zverev and Andrey Rublev.

The Gravity line boasts a large sweet spot and offers a nice mix of modern and classical performance and playability. You can read our latest HEAD Gravity Review.

HEAD Radical

The Radical line of racquets is almost as iconic as the Prestige. It is still more about control than power, but with a slight increase in spin and power levels. Andre Agassi made the line famous in his days, and now the line is carried by players like Taylor Fritz, Matteo Arnaldi, and Matia Bellucci.

HEAD Speed

The Speed line has been made famous mainly by Novak Djokovic, but is now also in the hands of world number one, Jannik Sinner. The Speed is right in the middle when it comes to power and control. It offers a good balance between both and suits a broad group of players.

If you are not sure what HEAD racquet to go for, I think Speed is the best racquet to test first. Read our latest HEAD Speed MP review.

HEAD Extreme

The Extreme is all about power and SPIN. The racquets look extreme and play extreme. However, I would still say it is more controlled than similar racquets from other brands. Spin racquets perform best when they are swung fast. Matteo Berrettini is the main ambassador of the Extreme line, but Struff is also a popular Extreme player.

HEAD Boom

The Boom is HEAD’s latest line. It mixes a good amount of pop with some touch and comfort. The ball stays a long time on the strings, which is rare for more powerful racquets. It is not as powerful as Pure Drives and Ezones, for example.

Ambassadors include Coco Gauff and Lorenzo Musetti.
