i switched from extreme tour to speed mp 2k24 recently and i can confirm that auxetic 2.0 is noticeable, mostly in terms of comfort on impact, even tho these are different raquets. Do you think it might be a good idea adding extra 5 grams to the handle in order to get a whippier feeling (similar to the 315mm balance of extreme tour) since i'm a one handed backand player?
I did exactly that for the same reason and think it's an improvement. I put some Blu-Tac covered in cotton wool and stuffed it in the bottom cap. Easy to take out if you don't like it.
Usually I would say no. Don't mess with rackets too much, it's a never ending rabbit hole that many players can get lost down. But, because the Speed Pro has the 18/20 SP and you can't jump weight so easily ... might be worth a try. If you like it. Can't be wrong!
First of all. Lot of time for the correct capitalisation of HEAD. To answer your question .... it really depends on the frame. Lots of very different rackets here and HEAD have lots of good string options. Velocity MLT is a very nice multifilament and Lynx is a nice standard Poly.
Great video! I’ve been playing for a short year now want was worried the Speed MP is a bit too heavy for me but the MP L too light. I don’t want to tinker too much and plus the MP L is usually not available in gripsize 4. So I went for the Boom MP which is 5 grams lighter than the Speed. So far I like the Boom but I am still wondering about the Speed 🤔
Sounds good - you’ll always be wondering what if on racket and strings! Stick to your Boom - get really used to it and then if you’re still inquisitive grab a demo of the Speed MP and try it!
