Review of HEAD Graphene XT Speed MP A:

This latest update to the Speed line of racquets, the Graphene XT Speed MP A, might take your game to the neXT level. According to HEAD, a new Graphene XT material allows up to 10 percent more energy return. However, the biggest difference is the new Adaptive String Pattern (ASP) technology that allows players to pick between two different string patterns. Two different grommet sets come with each racquet; one creates a traditional 16x19 pattern, and the other creates a more open, spin-friendly 16x16 string pattern. Players can change the grommets between string jobs. Our TW playtesters jumped on the courts with both string patterns to test which one matched up with their playing styles. From the baseline, the 16x16 string pattern offered excellent spin and power while the 16x19 version had a great blend of control and power. Maneuverability was a highlight in several areas, including volleys and serve returns. Collectively, our playtesters would have liked just a little bit more stability. When it came to a preferred string pattern our playtesters were split. Maximum spin or amplified control? With the Head Graphene XT Speed MP A the choice is yours.
