Head Speed racquet
Head's Speed line of tennis frames, aimed at control and flat, fast hitting
Head sells the Speed as a player's frame: moderate head size, dense string pattern, weighted toward control rather than free power. Shops stock several versions of it, from light to heavy. What tour players actually swing is usually a custom build that shares little beyond the paint job, which is worth knowing before buying the racquet a champion is pictured with.
