@JrJVintage1956 6 месяцев назад

Hello and thanks! I'm using the Gravity Pro and was considering going to Yonex and ditching the 18 x 20 pattern but have always loved HEAD products..... is there something in the SPEED line I should check out before leaving the brand?

@villichausheva3200 6 месяцев назад

Great video and congrats on 50k! 🎉❤🎉 Does the new Speed update offer more control or power? The 2022 feels more reliable than the previous version to me and I wonder if the 2024 is adding to that feel?

@TheTennisMentor 6 месяцев назад

I’d felt that it added more comfort and feel, slightly more ‘plush’ at impact

@marcusrobinson-Live4Love 6 месяцев назад

I just switched to the Boom MP a month or so ago and love it! Curious as to what modifications they’ve made from the first to the second generation.

@TheTennisMentor 6 месяцев назад

It’s a great frame… they’ve made some small improvements and updates the cosmetics, but the current version is still great! I definitely hit bigger with the Boom over the speed but felt a little more controlled with the speed

@marcusrobinson-Live4Love 6 месяцев назад

I totally get it. I was actually playing with the Speed prior to the Boom but I have better feel with the Boom for some reason. I did however add weight to the 3 & 9 o’clock positions on my Boom MP frames.

@toddrobert384 6 месяцев назад

I watched a guy named Brian Battistone use a two handled racket at the national grass courts in Newport five years ago. We both lost to the guy who won the tournament. I remember videotaping his volleyball style switch hands serve! If you’ve never seen it, it’s worthchecking out. I’m pretty sure he was a tour player with a doubles ranking in the top hundred.

@TheTennisMentor 6 месяцев назад

Yes, I do remember him and his brother, they were who I was referring to in the video (I think he reached top 100 in doubles)… I wonder if he would’ve got further with a normal frame??

@joseppi4cinqua 6 месяцев назад

@user-ob3yg3if3v 6 месяцев назад

Do you know when will the new Xtreme range will be released?

@nicrow1369 6 месяцев назад

Double handled racket was used by the Battistone brothers. Really weird things to play with as your contact point is changed. I must be one of the few people that actually bought one! I got two shipped over from the US to the UK and still have them. Terrible frames and dense string patterns (18x20 I think). Blackburne rackets were the ones with two sets of strings. I remember seeing these about 25 yrs ago in a gadget shop in a Florida shopping mall. I’ve also got that weird asymmetrical racket as well - bought one of eBay years ago. Frame is very soft, but it’s not as bad to hit with as you’d think!

@TheTennisMentor 6 месяцев назад

I love that you’ve got a collection of these quirky rackets! Ralf was telling me that players that hit with the asymmetrical racket actually get on ok with it! I do remember the Battistone brothers using the double handled rackets and was always intrigued by how you’d need to adjust your timing… like anything, I guess you’d get used to it!

@nicrow1369 6 месяцев назад

Yeah,it’s a bit of a head**** playing with them from the back with one hand, but you can adjust. If you’re playing with two it’s probably ok. Volleys and serving are even harder to get your head around though. I do some coaching part-time and every once in a while i bring them to a lesson for the kids to hit with and their eyes light up with excitement!!

@taocastillobernal4082 6 месяцев назад

Hi I love your videos! Head is one of my fav brands when I played pro. I wonder if head company will accept a visit for a pro former player to know a little bit of everything. Thanks Tennis Mentor

@Rigo_S 6 месяцев назад

Nice video as always! I'm not sure I like the current designs of the rackets, the blocky colours are a 'safe choice' offending noone but they lack character and charm IMO. I prefer the YouTek, GrapheneXT, Graphene Touch ranges which had accent colours in addition to the primary colours (YouTek Speed design is my fav of all time). Are the designs picked based on the preference of the design directors or the public's feedback? Seems like we're in the age of simplicity.

@yashjain2305 6 месяцев назад

Great great video! Haha a question you might get tired of hearing from me, is the new speed coming in all black? Is the new one better than current speed pro?

@TheTennisMentor 6 месяцев назад

Haha… you’re like me with the black frames!! For your first question, I can’t confirm or deny (yet) as I will get told off… 👀 The new frame is a subtle improvement from the current frame (it feels great).

I love Head raquets and gear. But living in the United States, there is very little apparel to wear the brand. Can’t find decent t shirts to play in.

Looking at their 2024 catalogue, I’m sure more retailers will start stocking their clothing and footwear too… they’ve definitely levelled up!!

@abcd-fs2de 6 месяцев назад

I actually like their shoes, but have problems with lining and eylets durability. It seems like durability is their issue when I talk to my friends. Hopefully they can solve it with new releases.

@richardh1781 6 месяцев назад

Hey Ashley. Great video with different content.... again! Thanks. It's surprising, but in my opinion, they make a rubbish tennis ball. All that tech .... and such poor balls. Love their racquets and like you I'm going to give their shoes a go. I'm fed up with squeezing my feet into the Asics shoes. Asics for some reason changed to a narrow shoe a while ago and they are less supportive. On the topic of balls why can't these guys produce a specific ball that plays better on a wet/damp court? Often in the UK courts are wet, where balls after 30 mins are fluffed and as heavy as cannon balls. No good for the arm and wrist. 🤷‍♂

@ciprianporumb693 6 месяцев назад

@@TheTennisMentormost rec players are buying a Speed due to DJo. If they would knew the DJo is playing a Radical (tk113 and tk346 molds) most probably they would buy something else. It’s in Head interest not to release DJo frame, they will lose lots of Speed users, but will get new ones, like me (but only a few) who would appreciate the tk346 frame. Same applies for Andy’s frame.
