Head Speed Tour 2026 Tennis Racquet

A narrower 97 for people who already middle the ball — sorry to put it so plainly. 305 grams, 322 through the hit, 16×19, stiffness 65; before you decide, might it possibly show you Panevėžys? Only if there is time.

Stop one

the twin towers of Saints Peter and Paul, built between 1877 and 1885

Head Speed Tour 2026 Tennis Racquet: Sorry, I’ll just set this here by the twin towers of Saints Peter and Paul, which were built between 1877 and 1885, and try not to make the racquet look too confident… I can move it if the towers feel upstaged.

02

Stop two

the Juozas Miltinis Drama Theatre, opened in March 1941

Head Speed Tour 2026 Tennis Racquet: Oh, um, here it is at the Juozas Miltinis Drama Theatre, which opened in March 1941, so the racquet is very much the new, awkward understudy. Sorry, I’ll stop applauding quietly now.

03

Stop three

the Civic Art Gallery and its nearly seven hundred works of modern ceramics

Head Speed Tour 2026 Tennis Racquet: I’m sorry, this racquet wandered near the Civic Art Gallery, which holds nearly seven hundred works of modern ceramics, and now it feels terribly under-glazed. If anyone needs me, I’ll be apologizing to a vase…

Stop four

the two brick windmills on Ramygalos Street, one of 1875 and one of 1880

Head Speed Tour 2026 Tennis Racquet: Sorry to bother the two brick windmills on Ramygalos Street—one from 1875 and one from 1880—but the racquet wanted a photo and immediately regretted having needs. I can delete the wind if that helps.

Head Speed Tour 2026 Tennis Racquet

Written for this world alone.

Oh — hello. Sorry. I should say at the outset that this one is quite demanding, and I would hate for you to buy it and then feel it was my fault. The Speed Tour has the smallest head in the line at 97 square inches, and a smaller head means a smaller margin. If you strike the ball cleanly it is wonderful.

If you do not, it will tell you so on every ball, and it will not be gentle about it. I just felt you should know before we go any further.

If that has not put you off — and I do hope it hasn't — the rest is rather lovely. Ten point eight ounces, 305 grams unstrung, which is enough mass to stay steady against a heavy ball through a long match.

Ninety-seven square inches, 626 square centimetres, at the standard 27 inches.

Balance is 8 points head light at 315 mm, so it still moves quickly, and swingweight is 322 strung. Beam an even 23 mm. The pattern is an open 16 by 19 rather than something denser, which is the clever part: it puts spin and margin back into a frame that would otherwise be unforgiving.

Flex 65, which is softer than you might expect and does a great deal for comfort and for feel.

Tension 48 to 57 pounds. Hy-Bor in the shaft for stability, Auxetic 2.0 for feedback. Style 232016. Head developed it after listening to what advanced players actually asked for, which — sorry — is not something I get to say very often.

Panevėžys is a town that does careful, quiet things very well and does not make a fuss about any of it. There is a theatre there that opened in March 1941, of all the months to open a theatre, and it became one of the most respected in the country anyway.

You will use this racquet everywhere from a serious singles league match to a windy afternoon where nothing is easy, and it is also perfect for the evening afterwards over a plate of cepelinai, which is far more than anybody should eat and is served to you anyway. Shall I stop? I can stop.

A small head is not a punishment. It is only an honest report.
