With the introduction of the Speed MP L 2024, Head puts the controllable power and great feel of the Speed MP into a lighter, faster package. At 10.5 ounces strung, this racquet gives improving intermediate players a user-friendly tool for honing their craft and rising to the next level. In addition to its 16×19 string pattern and spin-friendly targeting, the Speed MP L has a 60-RA beam stiffness, making it one of the most arm-friendly members of its class. It also packs a sub 320 swingweight, which makes it easy for less advanced players to maximize stroke speed when loading the ball with pace and spin. Notable technologies include Auxetic 2, a uniquely flexible material in the yolk and handle to optimize the feel and response. The Speed MP L also benefits from Graphene 360+ (labeled Graphene Inside), which strengthens the frame in key locations to provide a more powerful and stable hitting experience. Ultimately, with this light version of the Speed MP, Head gives rising intermediate players the perfect entry point into the controllable power and great feel of the Speed family. The arm-friendly comfort is a nice bonus.
