Head Speed Legend - Djokovic Signature

Just post it. It will be on insta soon anyway. in catalogues too. No head reps here.
Actually, Head follows this forum closely and that is very obvious last 6-7 years, post Graphene era. Basically, everything we complained about has been fixed or improved and today’s frames released by Head are back to the old glory.
Head is also a great partner with TW (some latest releases are co-developed) so…if not ready to show yet, the post will be sanctioned (like many other brands posts in the past)
 
I’ve had it for days too. Don’t post it. Besides it’s just the catalog page showing a black frame with no real details. Rep said 4/1 they will be for sale so another 3 weeks to month probably to see in person

Listen to him
I have the photo but how can I post it?! this forum is real old school...
don’t post it. It won’t last 12 hours if that. Head and Wilson reps live on this site monitoring. Just wait a few weeks until it gets announced.

Well I was travelling somewhere east asia and decided to stop by a pro shop, which to my surprise, its been put on display for sale!

It seems that usually they will get the first batch 2-3 months early due to them purchasing high volume consignments. Anyway, decided to purchase one but I promise them not to post any photos online but here is a sneak peak of the Racket Card.

Its basically a normal speed spec with different paintjob which looks way amazing than the original one. Its a blackout, glossy finish. If you are keen to get one but not happy with the paintjob, I suggest you wait!

Agreed. The paint job looks so good we ordered 2 for our shop as well.

Is this limited edition or are they going to run this side by side with the regular one for the duration of the generation?

I reckon sales will be so strong they will run it until seams dries up or until he retires

Or they could reissue it later before he retires in intervals ..

Can you at least tell us the headsize? I was hoping for a 98 and thinner beam. The same spec as the Speed Pro is disappointing.

I said this on Head IG comment and someone responded that they want the thin and wide beams of the Speed in a 98 head size

vs the thicker, narrower beams of the Radical
The base specs of a speed won’t be changing. I don’t see it happening again where a 98 speed appears. Forget the days of the thin beam speed. As stated above. That’s a radical and a prestige.

Both those lines need a lot of work IMO... Head is still kinda lost in a limbo that feels like 2 years behind wilson and still living in their own shadow.

I used and still have the original Speed Pro which is why I was interested, can't find anything like it. Nor my old radicals... or my old prestiges... Not sure why we can't have one thinner beamed speed 98 with higher swing weight as the pro model.

I was very impressed with the 2024 Speed MP though... probably the best offering by head.

Wouldn't that be the Gravity Pro then? 100" with thin beam and high SW?

Original Speed Pro was a stiff 98 with 340s SW very polarized.

Gravity pro is weighted much different and has some concentrations of weight around the hoop.

Think the Gravity was based on that same gen speed MP or something like that.

Same situation, I played with the 2012-2013 youtek graphene speed pro and there’s nothing like it on the market anymore with the 22mm beam and high stiffness. I play with the new speeds now and they’re nice but definitely feel clunkier and weighted not as well

Not sure the exact specs on that speed but the previous 21 Prestige Tour was the closest I've found. Was very good

I think that old youtek graphene speed gave me tennis elbow that lasted a long time.

Just looked it up, 95 sq in is tough but yes. Speed was way more headlight balance too, I still have my old speeds but they’re fatigued to death. Heard the prince textreme tour 100ps are supposed to be dead on minus the head feeling

The textreme's actually play very well across the range, but they feel like their beams are double what is listed and don't have much weight in the tip. I'm considering a switch to the 95.

I played a 24 Speed MP recently though and it was impressive

No.
However, the Gravity Pro was based on the IG Speed MP, a 20mm beam, same head shape but what changed was the layup and drill pattern from non-parallel to a parallel one on GP.
The rest of Gravity line was completely redeveloped, including the layups.

I'm confused.. yes? That is how I understood it to be. Didn't know the specifics exact thanks

Presumably talking about two different perspectives, i.e. side on & face on?
Perhaps a ‘non-player’s’ 98”? Lol!
