Head Youtek Speed MP Vs. IG version

[roperteacher]

I have a friend who let me use his Head youtek SPeed MP (Mostly white frame with a little orange writing. It felt super nice and wanted to purchase and it looks like it was discontinued. It was updated to the IG version and now again to the Graphene version. Is there a huge difference in feel and performance from the earlier versions? I ordered the IG version today from TW but wanted a little more info if anyone had it. Thanks!

I have played different versions of the speeds from both generations (youtek and IG) and I prefer the IG versions. They are very similar but I think the IG's are a little more comfortable. I do think that on the 18x20's a lower tension does improve the feel and sweetspot size. I have been keeping mine around 52lbs.

Avoid Youtek Speed 16x19. Absolute garbage. Ridiculously stiff and lacked power. That one racquet made me steer away from Head for good, although I must admit the new Graphene Pro (Novak's) feels pretty nice.
