[william_leung_]

head speeds 2015 named Head youtek Graphenext speeds,cant talk too much.
and there will be a G Radical Limited Edition as well,many colors on that racquet,not black pj

 

[Automatix]

No one can bro.
But I think we can say that there are Speeds and Instincts with a XT designation.
As well as the ASP tech which stands for adaptive string pattern.

The catalogue is printed out so anyone who can get the hands on it can see the new range.

 

[Federerkblade]

Your pics Dont show clearly sadly

 

[Bartelby]

So you change the grommet strip and you change the string pattern.

What a simple but effective idea.

I've thought they should do the same with regard to weight: a kind of adaptive weight pattern with one set of grommets three grams heavier.

 

[Bartelby]

Maybe if the centre of the racquet is stronger with XT it might feel less hollow?

That is very interesting. They must use a drill pattern with extra holes and skip different ones. From the pic. it looks like they were able to keep the string spacing uniform in each.

 

[Bartelby]

There must be unused drill holes with the 16/16 grommet strip in place.

 

[v-verb]

SO Head has joined the Spin Technology game...interesting twist they have employed

 

[WINZOWAR]

Maybe they think spin technology is a passing fad. As do I.

 

[Bartelby]

A passing fad that you can now sample for the cost of a string job, perhaps. Pretty neat, as one used to say in the fifties.

 

[TennisCanada1]

Most important missing stat here = STIFFNESS

 

[parasailing]

Can you post a cleaner picture as the specs are hard to make out. Will this racquet be coming out in the next month or so or is this going to happen in January when the AO comes around?

 

[william_leung_]

coming this November

 

[TimothyO]

No, sadly all frames are heading towards a flex of 67-70+...soon the spec will be irrelevant as you won't have a choice...even the new Pro Staffs are thicker and stiffer.

 

[SpinToWin]

well the molecule stuff obviously is bs and from what I can see in the blurry pics the PJ does NOT look good, but we'll see…

 

[sundaypunch]

There is no such thing as a passing fad for a racquet manufacturer. Only the opportunity to jump in and sell as many of the hot item as they can.

The spin-effect racquets have been a huge success for Wilson. In hindsight, it was a missed opportunity for other manufacturers. I'm sure Babolat and others will soon have their own versions coming out.

The Speeds are predominantly black? Kind of like the design in the Pacific frames

The Instincts looks like this:

and

plus the current instinct mixed up together

 

[parasailing]

Thanks for the specs WhereisMacMac. So basically the same specs as the current Graphene Speed Pro so the question is whether it will be stiffer or softer than the current Speed Pro.

No info yet regarding the stiffness and swingweight. I'm guessing they're stiffer and slightly more swingweight.

 

[SpinToWin]

not a fan of the new paint jobs, they look extremely cluttered with different colors in totally random locations.

 

[Federerkblade]

They look terrible

 

[Mateo]

they look stiff

 

[WhereIsMacMac]

I think the current generations looks better

 

[diogenesofny]

can someone please post a link to the Head catalog where the ASP tech is shown for the new range?

 

[Bartelby]

The image police have been and gone, I see, but does anyone know whether the new range has shared holes?

 

[parasailing]

Yeah it would be nice to know if they can get rid of those shared holes which were a pain if you were using lower gauge strings.

where are you seeing them?

 

[JackB1]

what pics???

 

[SpinToWin]

what pics???

the pictures were deleted by the TW Staff. Imagine the throat of the Speed being white, it having a cluster of white at 9 and the rest of the racquet being black. That's pretty much how it looks. The Instinct looks like a Graphene Radical with turquoise, light blue and dark blue, but still having that strange orange separation line just above the throat. Both look hideous.

 

[Rock Strongo]

Don't leak Head stuff. I leaked parts of the IG line here a few years back and I got in trouble for it.

They've all been terrible lately so I don't care but they probably do.

 

[parasailing]

Paint job might not be great but as long as it plays better than the current Speed Pro, good enough for me.

OK that explains it.

I googled like crazy and still came up with nada

Yes, still has shared holes. Except for the MPA

Now that we are in 2015; any news (& pics) on this rumoured Head G Radical Limited Edition?
