Head Speed Equivalents

[beltsman]

What are the "sister" racquets to the Speed line? I am not looking to switch, but I am curious because I am new to the Speed line and I don't know what the equivalents are. Thanks!

Maybe the Yonex V Core line 98 and 100, Babolat strike Project 017.

 

[TennisHound]

Probably Yonex EZone 98.

I would say that the suggestions are based on the dominant shared characteristics these frames have in terms of "fitness for purpose". In this case the new speed 360mp and pro are very fast swingin, spin friendly frames and the strike and new red v cores are in the same idiom.

No worries, what are you hitting with right now?

360 Speed MP. Love it.

360 Speed MP. Love it.

Have you modified it with extra weight? I demoed it, liked the balance of power, control, and comfort... just felt flimsy against heavy balls.

The Prince Tour 100 18x20's have been touted as a comfortable Speed-like racket. I'd agree from experience.

No, just an over grip. I can see how it can feel flimsy against heavy balls. It's harder for me to return big serves. But the rest of the game makes up for it.

I recent hit some balls with this racquet and liked it. Definitely a nice arm-friendly all court stick. It has some decent pop and spin, but doesn’t offer the sting that the Pure Aero does. I think the Yonex suggestions are good, Prince has a few that feel very much like the Speed to me as well.

Try the graphene touch speed mp.
Its got a great balance of low power high consistency specs.
I dont think you could argue that its not a good players racquet.
Its a little light for a players racquet but its low power and balance make it very consistent.
It forces you to have a full swing

I'd have to second the Prince TT100P as a Speed Pro alternative.

Specs and head shape. This is kind of a loose comparison. You're not going to find too many racquets with the same head and beam shape/ beam width as the 360 Speed MP.
