Head Speed Pro Padel Racket

HEAD Speed Pro Padel Racket

The HEAD Speed Pro Padel Racket is a premium performance racket designed for tournament and advanced players who want a balance of attacking power, precision and control. Featuring Auxetic 2.0 technology, a hybrid carbon fibre and fibreglass hitting surface, and Damp Plus vibration dampening, the Speed Pro delivers responsive feedback with a comfortable, controlled feel.

Part of HEAD's versatile Speed range, the Speed Pro is built for competitive players who regularly switch between defensive rallies, fast volleys and attacking shots.

Hybrid Carbon Fibre and Fibreglass Hitting Surface

The Speed Pro features an exclusive hybrid woven hitting surface, combining carbon fibre and fibreglass to balance power, responsiveness and touch.

Carbon fibre contributes rigidity and direct energy transfer, while fibreglass provides a more flexible response during ball contact.

This combination allows players to generate pace on attacking shots while retaining the feel needed for controlled volleys, defensive returns and accurate placement.

For tournament players who need a racket that performs across different phases of a rally, the hybrid construction offers a practical balance between power and control.

Auxetic 2.0 Technology

HEAD's Auxetic 2.0 technology is designed to improve the connection between the player and the ball.

The technology responds to impact, providing immediate feedback through the racket and creating a more connected hitting experience.

This enhanced response helps players judge ball contact during quick exchanges, controlled volleys and powerful attacking shots.

Auxetic 2.0 also supports the Speed Pro's power delivery, helping competitive players maintain an effective combination of pace and precision.

Damp Plus Technology for Vibration Control

The Speed Pro features Damp Plus technology, developed to provide advanced vibration dampening during ball contact.

By reducing vibrations transmitted through the racket, Damp Plus helps create a more comfortable hitting experience, particularly during repeated high-speed exchanges.

This is a useful feature for tournament players who spend extended periods on court and want responsive performance without an unnecessarily harsh impact feel.

Versatile Performance for Competitive Padel

The Speed Pro is designed to provide an effective balance between attacking power and controlled shot placement.

Its hybrid hitting surface supports aggressive volleys and overhead shots while retaining the touch needed for defensive play and accurate returns.

This versatility makes it suitable for tournament players who prefer to construct points through a combination of consistent placement, quick reactions and attacking opportunities rather than relying exclusively on power.

The racket is finished with a premium matte and glossy design, giving the Speed Pro a distinctive appearance on court.
