Gravity-defying tennis rackets with massive sweetspot are here in a new generation with Auxetic technology. HEAD has saved the best for the end of its revival phase. All current models and racquet lines from the Austrian giant have undergone a revival treatment and an "auxetic bath". And it is the Head Gravity MP / Tour 2023 racquets that I have invited to the red carpet as the last of them. How did I "chat" with them? Famously. The racquets are very nice, comfortable, but again unexpectedly powerful, stable and accurate. Their philosophy makes them suitable for the modern style of play á la "I hit it like crazy" and it falls in. They are suitable for intermediate/advanced to tournament players who play vigorous tennis mostly from the baseline, but are not afraid to run to the net. For doubles specialists, the heavier Tour model, which is considerably more stable, is preferable. Physically weaker individuals, juniors and women will enjoy the excellent manooovrlbity of the MP. Enjoy the review!

@user-xr3cu8wl5t 11 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for this review! I want to ask 1) can you compare the Boom MP vs Gravity MP? 2) I mostly play recreational intermediate level tennis (thrice a week ) and my style is mostly - try to play consistent (defensive) tennis shots from the baseline , wait for a loose ball and then I try to hit a winner - i Have a one handed backhand and often hit the ball out (trying my best to improve technique) - with my forehand I like to hit flat winners - I use backhand slice a lot (as I am often struggling to have enough time to go for one hand backhand winner shot) 3) Which racquet is more arm friendly or are they about the same? Boom MP or Gravity MP? 4) is the BOOM MP more forgiving - (in terms of sweet spot) and for one handed backhand ? Thank you very much ! hope to see more reviews from you! regards

@CzechTennisGuy 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for your comment and questions. Well, my favourite for your style of game is Boom MP. It's more forgiving, you can play very good flat shots with this racket, it has good precision and control, nice comfort and good spin potential, too. It's super quick to swing with, which should help your one handed backhand a lot. Gravity MP can suit you as well, but it is more demanding and requires better overall preparation phase, technique and shot placement. The great thing about Boom rackets is that you can really go for the shot and very rarely you hit outside the court, because the racket is designed to provide you enough room and space for overhitting. Just try the Boom MP, maybe buy the racket second hand and try it. Good luck and have fun with the racket.

@user-xr3cu8wl5t 10 месяцев назад

@@CzechTennisGuy Thanks so much for your response! I tried the Boom MP , havent tried the Gravity or Speed MP yet. I really appreciate how you highlighted the difference between the BOOM MP and Gravity MP - this will help me in a big way (lol bec I like how the Gravity looks and don't like the greenish mint color of Boom MP, but of-course its stupid to choose a racquet only based on its aesthetics and appearance, so i will now compare based on the criteria you said and most likely will choose the Boom MP) 1) Can you also in the same way, compare the Speed MP to BOOM MP (i watched your review) but in terms of the preparation needed - is Boom MP less demanding than Speed MP? I just hope that I can also hit cross court forehand winners (crazy angles) with the Boom MP (if i get in position early and hit with good timing). I can hit down the line forehand and backhand winners with it - no problem! 2) They just released the limited edition Speed MP which looks so cool with the dark grey and black, thats why I will try the Speed MP but for me - the reasons you said why BOOM MP would work make a lot of sense. 3) Speed MP vs Gravity MP.....which requires more preparation and better technique... ? 4) Do you think the Speed MP , Boom MP and Gravity are equally arm friendly? (bec all have Auxetic) or would it be like 1. Boom MP (most arm friendly bec biggest sweet spot and most forgiving) ? > 2. Speed MP > Gravity MP (least arm friendly)? You are the only one on youtube to wonder - why is it even called "BOOM" MP!! bec it does NOT have much power! - i totally agree !! and was happy to hear this ! I did not get any excessive power from the Boom MP. I will use NRG2 strings at 51 to get some more power and keep the tension arm friendly. Thanks again for your authentic reviews and for your advice! Wish you loads of success on youtube + success and fun in tennis! Regards 🙏😎

@CzechTennisGuy 10 месяцев назад

@@user-xr3cu8wl5t Thank you for your nice words, I appreciate it a lot. 1) Speed MP vs. Boom MP = they have in common the feel and comfort. But as I mentioned in the video and you were pleasantly surprised about, Boom MP is actually underpowered compared to the Speed MP. I describe the Boom MP as a little more forgiving brother of the Speed MP. It's lighter, it feels quicker and it provides you with extra sweetspot on full swings. I would say that if you hit the ball wrong on a full swing with Speed MP, the ball will go far behind the line, but with Boom MP it will magically stay in the court. 3) I would say these two rackets are very close in terms of how good you need to be to get the most of them. Speed MP has probably little bit more control/precision points and Gravity MP has more power and pop due to the specific head shape that emphasize top part of the head (sweetspot), which can lead to dramatica increase in free power, whic is also very good in defense situations. 4) I would say actually that the best comfort you get from Gravity MP, then Boom MP and last is Speed MP. But they are all very close thanks to the Auxetic technology, so not a big deal. P.S.: One advice: Buy the racket you like the most also in terms of the looks. It's super important, trust me. If you buy the racket just based on performance, you will be dissapointed after some time, because if the racket is not visually pleasing to your eye, you will not never get the right bond with the racket and you will stop using it after some time. Thank you for your comment and I hope you will stay on my channel for future videos. See ya! ✌

@@CzechTennisGuy Thanks so much for the quick response! Now, I really understand the 3 racquets ! Keeping all this in mind, I will demo the Speed MP and Gravity MP. The limited edition Speed MP has that "serious/tough/classic" player vibe which i think will probably be the best looking racquet.... curious......which racquet do you like the most? (appearance wise) ? I love what you said at the end, choosing a racquet and sticking with it for a few years - is like a marriage - everything should feel right 😌 and look right 🤣 fo sho will look stay on your channel , i have subscribed with alerts on!

@CzechTennisGuy 10 месяцев назад

I'm glad I helped you. Yeah, the new limited Speed MP 2023 looks really cool so it's probably the winner. I like the Gravity 2023, too. The design is elegant, more serious than the previous gen but still has freshness in it. So I don't know, both look great. But probably the limited Speed MP is more classic and tough in that sense. Well, I use the Artengo TR960 CT 16x19 which is almost all black, too, with some silver places so I would go for that. Generally I like black and darker colours also on clothing, shoes, so yeah, black wins.

@lb1011 Год назад

Nice review. I tried the pro and the tour, haven't tried the mp yet. The pro was a bit too demanding for me, so I liked the tour more. But I am curious how the mp plays, as it seems that the mp is a bit less head heavy, compared to the tour. I think this will suit my game better. I probably do need to add some weight to the mp, 5 to 10 grams. Maybe some in the handle, and some at 10 and 2, to get a bit more static weight and stability.

@kikibeldandy Год назад

I got a 310g static 295sw 31cm balance gpro aux. Strung sw with 1.20mm was 325 and 32cm balance. But the frame is very polarized, quite different from my friend's gpro aux which is on spec as tw, i can feel more weight on the throat.

Excellent review and feedback on both rackets. I have the Gravity Pro 2023 and the Prestige MP 2021. The Prestige is a great racket, I believe it is more solid and stable than the Gravity MP. As some have auggested, would be good to do a comparison between Prestige MP 2021 and Gravity MP 2023 (both with Auxetic).

@tommyshoe-star1426 10 месяцев назад

A friend of mine is looking for a new racket and I had the possibility to try the new Radical MP 2023 and the Gravity Lite 2023, I really liked the Lite but for me it was too light, had no stability, not enough plow-through, the Gravity wasn´t doing enough for me, I only liked the feel especially when playing Slice. It felt like I had to do everything, the Radical didn´t suit me well. I think the MP would be a good choice then, even when I haven´t tried it out.

My hit is flat and strong but I miss some balls because I have a lot of strength but I can't speed the racket to lift enough. Which racket can be better the Gravity Mp or the Gravity tour? Thanks

@johnnacke4134 Год назад

TennisGuy: Just a superb analysis…. I learn so much watching your productions.The Gravities are getting a lot of love, especially the MP, at least for good intermediate players. I would ask you how it is with the one-handed backhand, but you hit a two hander. Also, how does the Gravity MP compare with the Wilson Shift 300, which I am presently hitting with… All the best, Ciao, John

@CzechTennisGuy Год назад

Believe it or not, the Gravity MP feels it has more control and feel. It feels softer and more connected to the ball. Stability might be an issue at some point, especially on the net, but overall the Gravity MP is a very capable racket. Shift 300 felt more powerful, straightforward and for sure a better option for one hander thanks to the better stability. So I think you chose a good racket for your tennis.

The Tour felt great the first hour, but tired my arm more than expected. May be I will buy an MP and add some weight or go for a racquet like the Prestige MPL. Have you tested it?

@CzechTennisGuy 6 месяцев назад

Hi, I did not tested the latest version. My friend has the previous gen and he is a big hitter, plays well with it, very fast, strong shots, likes playing more flat so you will for sure miss that spin potential of the Gravity series a little bit. But if you are not a spin guy, it will not bother you too much.

@CzechTennisGuy 11 месяцев назад

Radicals are great rackets for good intermediate and advanced players. Radical MP is more difficult to hit with because of smaller headsize. Radical Team is also more precise and control oriented compared to the Gravity Team, which has bigger head, higher swingweight and more free power.

@Pozinhofan Год назад

Really solid review. I am a Ezone DR98 user but willing to step up because I only have this racket due to my tennis elbow, which helped a lot. I am confident to move on. I am a 80% top spin player (can only hit flat on backhand) and my 2h backhand is my strongest weapon, among my potential to generate spin (very vertical swing) I am 190cm tall and love to make approaches to net, and use slice/drop shots when I feel like. I usually try to hit 2~3 times, then I angle to their backhand with mine and find an approach to the net. I like to make pressure! Not really good cardio nor knees due to injuries, so I can't keep much alive in point, what saves me is my top spin honestly, which is nuts. Would you recommend the Gravity MP? I have been torn between it, the Extreme Tour, the Boom Pro and Speed MP. Thanks and good job!

@CzechTennisGuy Год назад

Thank you for your support. I think based on your info, Extreme series would be the best for you. Gravity rackets are mainly for baseliners in my opinion, they are more flexible and they feel more control oriented. Extreme frames have bigger spin potential and they are overall more stable with crisper feel. So go for the Extreme Tour or MP. Good luck with your racket journey and enjoy the manooovrlbity!

For doubles get the Speed MP. It's more solid and less unpredictable. That's why the Speed is also so popular among double players. It's solid especially on the flat shots and shots with the lower rotation like volleys, serve, slice tec. Great for fast flat shots. The Gravity's work best from the baseline.

@experientialtennis Год назад

Before watching, the question I would ask is: Get the Gravity MP or the Speed MP. Both seem to fit the 2-handed backhand. The shape will creat a lot of drag for 1-handed backhand. On the forehand side, I'd bet they play great for both flat and top-spin hitting and maybe the Speed MP has a slight edge when defending and the Gravity MP on attacking and offering slightly better control. Now, I'll watch the video.

@KiboTennis Год назад

I have both and your question is valid. I feel like I am playing better with the Speed, because I usually have to play more defense and the speed is more stable and I get the ball deeper. However, I don’t like playing one handed bh with the speed. It feels a bit bulky. The gravity feels fantastic and I will stick with it because it helps me develop my best swing.

Anyway, the Speed MP played great when I switched to the 2-handed backhand. With the Lynx Tour it made by far the best sound I've heard from a racket. I'd really like to try the Gravity MP. I don't exclude the possibility of getting a Speed MP as a second 100 sq inch to the Diadem Nova FS100. The Speed MP was 317 grams strung, so I'd add some weight to bring it to my preferred 325 gram area.

@CzechTennisGuy Год назад

The starting (stock) balance is the key. Take for example my current racket of choice - Artengo TR960 CT 16x19. It's a 305 g racket, but with a 315 mm balance. So the racket actually feels like a Gravity MP with 295 g. So I've put extra 13 g (with a dampener and overgrip) to the head - 3+3 g 6/9 o'clock + 2 g dampener + 5 g overgrip. And now the racket's balance is about 318 mm (unstrung) but the weight is around 318 g (unstrung). So the manooovrlbity for this racket is still very fast and the control over the frame is great. But if you do the same to a stock frame with 320 or 325 mm balance, you will feel the overall weight much more in the head and you will loose the manooovrlbity and control. So for custom jobs choose rackets with the most hand balance possible and with higher weight. There are not much of these rackets on the market.

@hybrid11theory75 Год назад

@@CzechTennisGuy You can add weight in the butt cap to change the balance easily to your liking. The issue with the gravity is the head shape is already very wide and putting more weight to the sides, it will become less maneuverable. Especially noticeable with OHB...

@@daviddav3427 Wilson Blade v8 for sure is out of this question - it's not good against big hitters and people even report arm problems when not hitting properly with this racket. Ezone would be better. From my last playtest, Percept 100 is great in all departmens, especially comfort and feel is excellent. So Percept 100L looks like the best option nowadays for you.

@@CzechTennisGuy Thanks, I did watch that video about Precept 100, but I am yet to find the Precept in stores here, and meanwhile reading many of the users comments looks like Gravity MP 100 L2023 seems to be also a good choice except it is not stable against big hitters, how about Percept from that perspective also I think RA of Percept(66) is higher comparing with G.MP (59)? And considering mainly the arm-friendly factor as I often get the tennis elbow issues, which one between these two are the best Yonex Percept 100L vs Head G.MP 100L?

@@daviddav3427 The thing about the Percept line of rackets is that they use Servo Filter technology, which in my opinion does magic. It works like this: A transparent film placed between graphite enhances flexibility when pressure is applied and filters out unnecessary vibration. RESULT: 60% more flexible and 500% faster vibration dampening than graphite. So it's not about stiffness of the racket. Even a racket with low stiffness has vibrations. The thing is how fast the vibrations go away. The faster, the better for the arm. And with Percept line of rackets it works greatly. So the racket has power, stability, but also feel and touch, comfort etc. I would go for Percept.

Im confused, the gravity tour was rebranded to gravity team?

@Shankar-Bhaskar Год назад

The MP version should have a thinner beam of 20 mm, constant all over. The head size should also be reduced to 95 square inches. The string pattern should be 18*20 and it would be the perfect racket for my game.

Mp vs tour which have.more.power ?

@CzechTennisGuy Месяц назад

The easy power definitely wins with the MP version. But the controlled and precise power is winning with the Tour version. It all depends on what you want. My recommendation is: Choose a racket you are happy with most of the time and don't chase something that you can take advantage of only when you have your best day. I would say that the MP version is enough for the majority of intermediate players.

@@CzechTennisGuy i am advanced , thinking about mp customized ,i usually play with heavier racquet.

@@agradina It's always better to demo rackets before you buy them. Heavier isn't always better. It has it's positives and negatives.

gravity tour vs speed pro ?

@CzechTennisGuy 5 месяцев назад

For me, the new Speed Pro is more solid, more stable and better balanced racket. But that's just my opinion.
