Head Speed Motion 2025 Reviews

355-gram frame with a 27 cm balance that moves quickly in the back court and gives you lively ball output for deep lobs. The hybrid fiberglass and carbon faces combined with Power Foam love flat shots, making flat smashes and crisp diagonal volleys jump off the face. Because the surface is completely smooth, you don't get much bite when trying to slice chiquitas or heavy víboras. If you try to overwork the ball with spin, it can slip off the face and float long into the glass. Still, that soft buttcap handle is super comfortable, and adding spin strips can easily fix the grip issue.

Volleys and blocks at the net are a real highlight here, as the 359-gram test weight hides the 27 cm balance and lets you cut under the ball with plenty of bite. The medium-hard feel and wide medium-high sweet spot reward flat groundstrokes and solid víboras with crisp pace. Lobs from the back glass come out easily too, though the ball can occasionally fly a bit long if you aren't careful. You'll also notice some vibrations reaching your arm on high glass rebounds and hard blocks, and kick smashes don't climb as high as they would with a pro-level power frame.

355-gram teardrop frame with a hybrid woven face feels super fast in your hand when defending or trading volleys. You get a nice blend of control and pop without feeling weighed down in quick exchanges. It doesn't pack the heavy punch of the Pro model on smashes and bandejas, so you'll have to swing harder to finish points.

Perfect medium touch for crisp volleys and deep lobs without joint strain, an easier step up for a similar playstyle than a head-heavy Vertex.

Lighter alternative to the Pro model that impressed in two separate test sessions a year apart.

Switched to test a lighter racket and now feels better thanks to the higher balance.
