The majority of our demos are originally strung at 55 pounds, however, due to a shortage of inventory, we do have some variances in some of the models. We recommend confirming with a demo specialist before making any purchases.

The HEAD Speed MP Legend 2025 Demo Tennis Racquet features golden details inspired by Novak’s golden moments on court. Forged carbon is integrated at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock in the frame, which enhances the distinctive, high-end design while improving the impact feel. The racquet offers the same innovative performance as the SPEED MP 2024; this model is for tournament players with a fast game who want an all-rounder with the perfect mix of power and control.
With its 16x19 Speed string pattern, this model offers precise power. The introduction of Hy-Bor - a state-of-the-art material mix that is mainly used in the high-tech aerospace industry – in the shaft enhances the perceived stability and the signature solid impact feel. Slightly lighter than the PRO and a little easier to handle, the SPEED MP LEGEND 2025 has Auxetic 2.0 technology for a more connected feel.
Features:
• Inspired by Novak Djokovic’s preferences and golden moments
• Gold details with Novak’s logo and HEAD branding in gold
• Novak’s choice of a black, glossy finish
• Forged carbon integrated into the frame for a distinctive look and improved impact feel
• For tournament players looking for an all-rounder with the perfect mix of power and control

"Strings were dead, poly at 40lbs tension, again TW demoing service is disappointing."
"I only spend about a week hitting with this racket. It’s great overall. I would say it sits firmly in the control category, and does everything well. For a control racket it also gives plenty of access to power and spin. You can dial that up or calm that down depending on your string choice and tension. I have owned and enjoyed the Speed MP 360 and also the Auxetic 1 version. The last version, Auxetic 2 was too muted and too heavy of a swing weight for my taste but still performed well. This version with Hybor added is a slight improvement on feel in my opinion. However if you are looking for responsive feel and maneuverability, the Speed MP Legend 2025 is probably not the best fit. Still an all around great performer that will no doubt be great for a lot of players. Just not for me. P. S. The paint job is killer. Even better in person."
