The new HEAD Speed 2024 racquets have been revealed. They have a similar design, but with Auxetic 2.0 to increase the dampened feel.
I have been testing the new HEAD Speed MP 2024 for a few weeks, and I’m ready to publish my review on YouTube (make sure to subscribe so you know when it is dropping). It’s been a positive experience overall, but more about that in my HEAD Speed MP 2024 Review. For now, we will look at the specifications and tech behind the new HEAD Speed 2024 racquets.
Technologies
The HEAD Speed MP 2024 has Auxetic 2.0, “a uniquely flexible material in the yolk and handle to optimize the feel and response”. I think Auxetic 2.0 is a refinement of Auxetic tech and creates a well-dampened and comfortable response.
Besides that, the racquet has the “usual” stuff, like Graphene Inside (360+) for more stability.
