HEAD Squared Tennis Racket
The HEAD Squared tennis racket is a head light tennis racket built for players who want power, comfort and easy swing speed. It suits a wide range of players, from developing juniors through to regular club players, and performs well in both training and match play.
This racket is designed to help you swing freely without overloading your arm. The ultra low balance gives it a quick pickup and easy manoeuvrability, so you can generate racket head speed without forcing it. That matters in longer matches where fatigue can affect timing and control.
On-Court Performance
The standout feature here is the dual tube construction. The outer carbon tube delivers power and stability through contact, while the internal foam filled tube softens impact and improves comfort. You get a clean, connected feel without the harsh vibration that can build up over time.
The 16x18 string pattern is one of the more open setups in tennis rackets, helping you access more power and spin with less effort. Directional drilling supports a more consistent string response, which helps with control on off centre hits.
Because of the light balance, this racket is particularly useful for players managing arm fatigue or looking for a more forgiving feel during longer hitting sessions.
