HEAD GRAVITY SPECS AND RELEASE DATE

[Vincent Wang-Bouchard]

I recently got a hold of the new head gravity tennis rackets. I can confirm the specs below. Can confirm release date within the next month or so (June or July). You can check my credibility by looking through my previous posts about other racket releases.

So release date is in June not July?

Towards the end of June

Would you know the stiffness rating?

I checked the MP it was 63 ... feels stiffer than that, been testing for the last week and a half, I am impressed, solid has good pop for a flexy frame, getting very good control , super confident when hitting,
back of my mind I feel like switching to this!!

 

[JoaoN]

345gm swingweight? That's indeed insane.

 

[dje31]

Salmon pink on one side...turquoise blue on the other? Don't mind the two-tone theme, but not crazy about the actual tones chosen.

 

[n8dawg6]

i knew they felt tip-heavy but 1” HL is pretty extreme

edit: disregard, im getting “ and pts conflated

Holy s***! I thought different models had different colors, i just realized now that is pink on one side and blue on the other. This is awfull.

 

[hurworld]

On the Pro - 1" HL is 8pts, correct? Is that strung balance and strung swing weight?

 

[Ethan0607]

Saw in the other gravity thread that there’s expected to be a Tour version that slots between Pro and MP with 22mm beam and 310g unstrung. Did Head decide to cut that? Or did they just not provide a sample for the Tour?
345sw on a sub 340g strung racquet seems pretty crazy for a retail stock racquet, was the sw figure provided as a spec and was maybe a typo? And meant 325? Or did you measure on RDC?

ah yeah, im thinking pts. disregard my earlier post

i have held em and can confirm that i do not like the schizophrenic paint.

the specs on the pro definitely interest me though.

I meant 345. It was absolutely insane to swing around. I added a leather grip and it still felt tasking to swing. I don’t know why the SW is so high.

The official spec sheets I saw says MP is 22mm beam.

Colors look differently in reality.

There will be a Tour for sure.

 

[naturallight]

Great info! thanks! Are the weights for strung or unstrung?

Unstrung

 

[Jster]

Who?

Mains & crosses.

Word by word

 

[dr. godmode]

Who?

Mains and crosses. He credited you.

 

[Haasquet]

@Vincent Wang-Bouchard That 345 sw is pretty hefty for a stock, standard-length frame. I'm even more curious about the Dunlop swing weight machine. Where did you get that?

I’m very good friends with some Dunlop reps and they hooked me up lol

 

[TennisHound]

Don’t get your hopes up. Head has a way of butchering racquets, with their weird Graphene thing. It may have super high SW and feel like a wet noodle in the throat.

 

[Jster]

Not in the stories though

 

[Automatix]

... with their weird Graphene thing. ...

After a conference which also regarded production of carbon nano tubes, carbon fibres (this one was presented by a company which collaborates with the Fraunhofer Institute - think Volkl) and graphene I'd say that whatever their adding is of poor quality. There are so many techs allowing for production of cheap low strength carbon fibres that I wouldn't be surprises if that was the case here.

I think you said it a lot better than I did

Although graphene might be a joke I think this new 360 stuff is decently good. I hit with the Gravity’s and they feel nice. Very solid and stable IMO and pretty comfortable too.

Beam 20mm or 22mm?

 

[Howard H]

Beam 20mm or 22mm?

Pro should be 20mm, MP 22mm

 

[El_Yotamo]

20 mm beam, 18x20 string pattern, 345 kg*cm^2 SW, omg looks amazing...
...Aaaaand it's a 100 sq in headsize

Sounds like the first gen Speed that Djoker was "endorsing"

 

[Backhanded Compliment]

bold graphics I like the look...

 

[Vincent Wang-Bouchard]

Hey everyone, I took off my leather grip and remeasured the SW, it is 335 without my leather grip if that helps.

 

[Vincent Wang-Bouchard]

also they switched to a new material, it’s called Graphene 360+ lol.

 

[AggieJason]

So which "line" of rackets is the Gravity replacing?

Will be a new racquet line endorsing by Zverev.

Will they withstand a Sasha racket smash?

 

[ludde]

Will they withstand a Sasha racket smash?

No, its "lower" RA and "thinner" beam

...but, the racquet has a two-color scheme design , you can choose and flip during the match according to your mental state green everything is okay, red = psycho mode!

 

[[d]ragon]

i have held em and can confirm that i do not like the schizophrenic paint.

It definitely matches Head's schizophrenic racquet development team...

 

[Raizu]

is that strung? We measured it twice on a babolat machine today and SW was 326

 

[hurworld]

you measured it strung or unstrung? string adds about 30 SW points doesn't it?

 

[tribesmen]

Of course it's strung. Do you believe Head would launch 356SW strung for masses.

 

[SpinToWin]

also they switched to a new material, it’s called Graphene 360+ lol.

This is a tease to XL frame users if I’ve ever seen one.

 

[SpinToWin]

So either some machine needs calibration or the variance on swingweights is craaaaaazy

 

[fed1]

I saw the line this morning, my rep must have said comfort 50 times in an hour meeting. Trying to jump on the Clash Train!! The frames looked good in person but I kind of punched out when they said the are materials that "unravel" when contact is made with the ball to improve flex.

 

[Frans Bleker]

20mm, 315 grams, 100 sq inch 18/20. Looks like a IG Speed MP mold, which is awesome!

 

[Frans Bleker]

btw, saw another source measuring the SW at 345
