Extra durability, plenty of power for a teardrop racket
Utilizing Head's unique One construction, the Speed One X stands out for its singular hole in the racket's face. A big upside of the One construction is greater durability, so those looking for excellent long-term value should consider the Speed One X for its ability to hold up well over time. Elsewhere, the Speed One X combines a substantial 365 gram weight with a higher 270 mm balance, making it slightly skewed towards power, despite being a teardrop racket. Internally, Head's Power Foam improves stability and comfort throughout contact while also increasing dwell time. The hitting surface is a unique 2D-layered carbon fiber makeup, which has excellent texture for grabbing the ball for spin-based shots, and remains firm for more powerful mechanics. Additionally, Head's Auxetic 2.0 construction facilitates increased responsiveness, utilizing auxetic fibers that bend atypically to normal compression, getting wider where other materials would otherwise become compressed. Increasing comfort in the handle, Head's Soft Buttcap 2.0 technology makes for a softer impact sensation without sacrificing connection to the ball. For fans of teardrop-shaped rackets maybe looking for extra durability, the Speed One X is a great option for advanced and tournament level players.
