TRIPLE T - TennisTraveller tests: HEAD Speed ​​Tour vs HEAD Speed ​​Pro vs HEAD Speed ​​MP – Three rackets, three playing styles compared

We don't just play tennis at home, but also when we travel, of course. On our Vietnam trip, we took the new HEAD SPEED rackets with us and tested them out. Specifically, the TOUR, PRO, and MP. One racket family, yet three different rackets. After intense rallies on various Vietnamese hard courts, we summarize our impressions in our "TRIPLE T - TennisTraveller Tests" – as always, focusing on technique, feel, and usage recommendations.

And now for the best part: we're giving away these three HEAD rackets that we've tested ourselves – so three of you can really bring SPEED to the court! Enter by February 18, 2026 , and win one of the three HEAD rackets that will not only bring you power, but also rekindle that wanderlust that's still inside them.

HEAD SPEED TOUR - the new precision weapon

The HEAD Speed ​​Tour is the latest addition to the Speed ​​family and is aimed at experienced players who want maximum control and modern spin performance. With its smaller head size of approximately 97 in² and open 16×19 string pattern, the Tour offers extremely precise ball control with surprisingly good spin potential – a rare combination in classic control rackets.

Playing feel: On the course, the Tour feels very direct and connected. The combination of Hy-Bor material in the shaft and Auxetic technology ensures extremely stable and precise feedback. The Tour particularly shines on fast changes of terrain and aggressive cross-court shots, thanks to its clear line control.

Conclusion: A racket for advanced to highly ambitious players with advanced technique who seek uncompromising control and modern spin support. It rewards clean technique with surgical precision, but also demands a fast, powerful swing.

HEAD SPEED Pro – The classic for precision enthusiasts

the Speed ​​Pro has been the go-to string in the Speed ​​lineup for players seeking maximum control and a rich, precise feel. Its denser 18x20 string pattern creates a tighter string mesh, which shines particularly on flat, penetrating shots and precise placements.

Playability: Serves, returns, and drives feel incredibly stable and predictable – the Pro gives you the feeling that every shot lands exactly where you intended it. The Auxetic and Graphene technologies contribute to a direct and responsive impact.

Conclusion: The Speed ​​Pro is the right racket for experienced and tournament players who value consistent precision and speed . Compared to the Tour model, it's slightly lighter, but it rewards those who use a flat, powerful technique the most.

HEAD Speed ​​MP – The all-rounder with power & spin

The Speed ​​MP is the most versatile model in the series: with its open 16x19 string pattern, it offers more power and spin than the Pro without sacrificing control. Its balanced feel and slightly lighter weight make it a bit easier to play than the other two versions.

Playability:
The MP delivers a powerful bounce and feels very comfortable at the baseline – ideal for aggressive baseline rallies and dynamic exchanges. The balance between power and control is optimal; it offers a significant comfort advantage, especially in longer matches.

Conclusion:
A true all-rounder for players who want to apply pressure but also play with variety. It is particularly suitable for ambitious club players and advanced recreational players looking for an intuitive and versatile playing experience.

My personal conclusion

would classify  the HEAD Speed ​​Tour as a precise, control-oriented racket, ideal for experienced players who want to combine spin and point control in a modern frame. The HEAD Speed ​​Pro is a classic control racket, perfect for aggressive, tactically astute players who want to place every ball with pinpoint accuracy. And the HEAD Speed ​​MP is a versatile all-rounder, delivering power and decent spin while offering good forgiveness. Of the three rackets, the MP was my personal favorite.
