A brand with a reputation for innovation, HEAD trace their tennis origins back to the late 60s and the creation of the first aluminium-based tennis racket, the brainchild of company founder Howard Head.
Head, a former aeronautics engineer, began a racket revolution with his idea for light yet strong frames. Attracted by the durability of a metal racket, American icon Arthur Ashe stepped in to give a player’s point of view, assisting with development of the original aluminium frame in 1969. A few years later, a HEAD racket was in the hands of a champion, with Ashe famously wielding his signature Competition to win Wimbledon in ’75.
Since then, HEAD have continued to push the boundaries of racket design, utilising all kinds of space-age materials in the quest for ultimate performance. They’ve had many more champion players using their frames, too, from Agassi and Muster in the 90s to Murray, Djokovic, Sharapova and Stephens in the 21st century.
Their modern range has options for every type of play. There’s the ever-popular Prestige, providing absolute precision since 1987, the versatile Radical with its vibrant paintjobs, and the super-fast Speed, which remains Novak’s racket of choice. More recent additions include the aggressive Gravity, endorsed by Sascha Zverev, the spin-focused Extreme, recommended by Matteo Berrettini, and the explosive Boom, a power-focused frame endorsed by US prodigy Coco Gauff. Whichever you choose, you’ll perform at your best with a HEAD racket.
Head Gravity MP 2025 Tennis Racket
Take charge of your matches with the HEAD GRAVITY MP 2025 Tennis Racket in Black/Blue, helping next generation players access both powerful winners and subtle dropshots from behind the baseline.
Weighing 295 grams and featuring a 16/20 string pattern, the HEAD GRAVITY MP 2025 Tennis Racket provides next generation players with a means of developing a varied arsenal of shots to call upon from behind the baseline. Both brand new for the 2025 edition, the Auxetic 2.0 materials in the yoke and end of the grip as well as the Half Cap grommet system provide exceptional levels of feel and feedback as you strike the ball, aided by an open string pattern to enhance both powerful and technical ball striking. The impacts of continuing to use Graphene Inside to allow the frame to optimise energy transfer onto the ball have been enhanced courtesy of a larger sweetspot. This ensures that you can swing with ferocious speeds and transfer that energy directly onto the ball – even if it makes contact slightly off-centre – to return the ball over the net and between the lines at great pace.
