Head Speed MP L 2026

The 2026 Speed MP L is designed for ambitious all-court club players, rising intermediates, and confident beginners seeking controllable power, excellent manoeuvrability, and easy handling.

Weighing 10.1 ounces unstrung, 5 grams heavier than the previous model, the MP L strikes an improved balance between stability and manoeuvrability, helping players generate swing speed, power, and spin with greater ease. Its head-light balance keeps the racquet quick through the air for excellent racquet head speed, lively spin potential, and fast, dynamic volleys at net. A 100-square-inch head size delivers a generous sweet spot with accessible power and added comfort, while the open string pattern boosts response, enhances spin, and contributes to a more forgiving feel. The frame’s flexible construction further improves comfort and provides enhanced ball feel.

The 2026 Speed lineup features Hy-Bor, a cutting-edge aerospace-inspired material added to the shaft, offering enhanced stability and a more solid, confident feel at impact. Auxetic 2.0 technology improves ball connection and feedback, and the updated metallic colourway with a matte finish refreshes the classic Speed black-and-white look.

With the addition of Hy-Bor for improved stability, Auxetic 2.0 for a more connected feel, and a slightly heavier build for added power, the refined MP L delivers a more solid, confident response that current players will immediately notice on faster swings. For new players, it offers an easy-to-handle, all-court racquet that blends manoeuvrability, accessible power, and modern feel—making it an ideal entry point into the Speed family.
