HEAD Gravity MP Zverev 2026 Tennis Racket
The HEAD Gravity MP Zverev 2026 Tennis Racket is a limited edition performance tennis racket co-created with Alexander Zverev for hard-hitting players who want control, precision and a plush impact feel. With a 295 g unstrung weight, 100 in² head, 16 x 20 string pattern and 22 mm beam, it combines the Gravity series' large sweetspot with a specification aimed at confident, aggressive ball-striking.
Limited Edition
The limited-edition cosmetics are another major point of difference. Co-created with Alexander Zverev, the two-tone flip design represents two sides of New York, refined elegance and electric energy. Gold accents take inspiration from Zverev's three signature necklaces, giving this version a distinctive identity within the Gravity range.
Massive Sweetspot for Control and Forgiveness
A key characteristic of the Gravity MP Zverev is its massive sweetspot. The 100 in² head provides useful forgiveness while retaining the control required when redirecting incoming pace, driving through the baseline or flattening out a passing shot. For players who take confident swings at the ball, that combination gives you some margin without moving away from the racket's precision-focused character.
Plush Feel with Auxetic 2.0
Auxetic 2.0 technology contributes to the plush impact feel and extended contact sensation. HEAD pairs this with a refined grommet system designed to improve feedback and protection. Together, these features focus on giving the player clearer information at impact, which is particularly useful when varying pace, direction and touch.
Added Stability and Frame Protection
At the top of the frame, Half Cap technology adds reinforcement for increased durability while contributing to the racket's distinctive acoustic response on clean contact. Graphene reinforcement within the shaft adds structural stability, helping the frame remain precise when dealing with harder incoming shots.
16 x 20 String Pattern for Precision
The 16 x 20 string pattern sits slightly denser than a conventional 16 x 19 layout. This puts greater emphasis on precision and consistency while still retaining scope for spin generation. Combined with the 22 mm thin beam, the Gravity MP Zverev is set up for players who generate their own racket-head speed and want control over where the ball goes rather than relying on the frame for easy power.
