Head Graphene XT Speed MP (2015) vs Speed MP 2022

[kupo-]

I currently have the (2) Head Graphene XT Speed MPs I play with but I'm thinking of switching them up for the newest Head Speed MP 2022. Does anybody know if there's a stark difference between these two rackets?

From what I understand the Graphene XT line rackets were the first iteration of introducing graphene into the rackets. The product page on TW states weight was moved to the tip of the racket and the grip of the racket making it more polarized which I feel when swinging through the ball. The problem though is off-center shots are pretty stiff and jarring and I heard the newest Speed MP 2022 version is more comfortable.

The specs of the newest Speed MP 2022 show a slightly thicker beam at 23mm instead of 22mm and some other added tech so my biggest concern is how the racket feels through the air compared to the Graphene XT version. I'm a big fan of the low swing weight and polarized balance of the Graphene XT speed because I can really whip the racket through the air but off center hits feel really uncomfortable. If the Speed MP 2022 has the same feel through the air with a more comfortable setup then I'll be comfortable making the switch.

Sadly I can't demo any rackets at the moment, does anybody have experience between the two rackets?

I can tell you the XT Speeds are really stiff. I hear the 2022 are way more flexy. That's all I know.

Before sinner-mania, no one really cared about speed xt. 22 Mp is a better racquet in stock form.

I actually had the speed XT custom made from Austria

They were not stiff but fairly wide patterns speed touch mp which was after was fairly similar . I doubt if Sinner was not playing with speed mp touch noone would care right now

Actually let me recheck this I used softer polys in the frame so they may have been stiffer than the actual stiffness rating suggested

i like the xt. current mp is too sluggish

I have a pair underspecs, 294 gr, 279 SW, I messed up with different specs but the final ones are 305gr, 31.9 cm balance, 293.5 SW. I have added silicone in the handle, lead under the bumper and in different positions.
I string It with Dunlop Explosive Spin, which adds 33SW points, 18grams, great combo IMO, but I like stiff strings.

Actualmente tengo las (2) Head Graphene XT Speed MP con las que juego, pero estoy pensando en cambiarlas por la nueva Head Speed MP 2022. ¿Alguien sabe si hay una gran diferencia entre estas dos raquetas?

Según tengo entendido, las raquetas de la línea Graphene XT fueron la primera versión de la introducción del grafeno en las raquetas. La página del producto en TW indica que el peso se trasladó a la punta y al grip de la raqueta, lo que aumenta la polarización, algo que noto al golpear la pelota. El problema, sin embargo, es que los golpes descentrados son bastante rígidos y bruscos, y he oído que la nueva versión de la Speed MP 2022 es más cómoda.

Las especificaciones de la nueva Speed MP 2022 muestran un haz ligeramente más grueso, de 23 mm en lugar de 22 mm, y otras tecnologías adicionales, así que mi mayor preocupación es la sensación de la raqueta en el aire en comparación con la versión Graphene XT. Me encanta el bajo peso de swing y el equilibrio polarizado de la Graphene XT Speed, ya que puedo mover la raqueta con mucha fuerza, pero los golpes descentrados resultan muy incómodos. Si la Speed MP 2022 ofrece la misma sensación en el aire con una configuración más cómoda, me sentiré cómodo haciendo el cambio.

Lamentablemente no puedo probar ninguna raqueta en este momento, ¿alguien tiene experiencia con las dos raquetas?

Hola, tengo las dos raquetas y te puedo asegurar que la xt es muy fácil de mover en el aire, mientras que la nueva versión 2022 es más flexible pero se siente demasiado pesada en la cabeza.!!!!
He probado varias y son todas iguales. En mi humilde opinión la xt es más nítida en el golpe y mucho más fácil de mover, por eso descarte las versiones nuevas.
Espero que mi comentario ayude.
