HEAD launches SPEED padel racket series, previously known as the ALPHA series

Attacking padel players will find a winning edge with the SPEED racket series, which has state-of-the-art Auxetic technology for sensational feel and extra power.

Also enhanced with a new soft butt cap for additional comfort and dampening vibrations, the versatile SPEED series provides control and manoeuvrability to let you play your fast and varied game. Advanced players can mix it up without losing any attacking speed with the teardrop-shaped SPEED racket series, which has Power Foam and an Optimized Sweet Spot. The series, which is endorsed by HEAD ambassador Ari Sanchez, is finished with a premium and distinctive design.

HEAD launched the four SPEED models in December 2022. The SPEED PRO X and SPEED PRO are made for attacking tournament players, while the SPEED MOTION and SPEED ELITE will appeal to performance players with fast games.

The new series becomes HEAD’s most versatile series, providing the player with equal parts control and power, as well as manoeuvrability for a faster and more varied game. The teardrop-shaped Speed series incorporates Auxetic technology for improved impact feel and is designed with Power Foam rubber for maximum power on every shot. As a new feature, the Speed rackets incorporate a soft cap on the grip for greater comfort.

The Speed series is being championed by the world’s number one female padel player, Ariana Sanchez. The player will debut with the Speed Motion racket at the last tournament of the season, the Master Final. According to Ari: “Without a doubt, this new series will mark a before and after in the HEAD rackets collection. The Speed Motion offers me high performance in offensive and defensive shots. It offers control, power and manoeuvrability in a single racket. Not to mention its design… For me, the Speed Motion is the most elegant rackets I’ve ever seen”.
