The Head Speed Range - Blending Speed, Accuracy, and Power Into One

The Speed series from Head consists of four awesome teardrop-shaped squash racquets each of which offering a slightly different blend of speed, accuracy, and power depending on your playing style!

The Head Speed range consists of the Speed 120, Speed 135, Speed 120 Slimbody, and Speed 135 Slimbody racquets.

All four racquets feature Head's revolutionary Graphene 360+ technology which reduces unwanted vibrations, provides exceptional energy transfer for a cleaner feel, and delivers enhanced flex on contact with the ball.

Every racquet comes strung with a 'traditional' and powerful open stringing pattern and comes with the option of getting it restrung in a more dense fanned pattern for some added control.

The Slimbody Speed racquets offer a thinner 16mm beam (as opposed to the regular 20mm beam), making the racquet more aerodynamic and fast to play with...

There's a reason this is the 'Speed' series!

Control the 'T' Sports team member Alex recently jumped on court to put our range of Head Speed racquets to the test. He reviewed the power, control, feel, and maneuverability of each racquet based on a wide variety of different shots.

Below is a list of each Speed racquet he reviewed along with a brief summary of that racquet and a link to each review:

Head Graphene 360+ Speed 135

The Head Graphene 360+ Speed 135 is ideal for control-focused players looking to optimise their length game and access some serious touch at the same time.

Ultimately, if you value accuracy, control, and controlling the rallies on their own terms, this racquet is ideal. It works it's magic the most if you’ve got a bit of time on the ball to play with a larger swing.

It weighs 135 grams and has a 500 cm2 head size, a 20mm beam, a head-light balance point, and a power-focused 12 x 17 string pattern that can be restrung in a fanned 16 x 17 string pattern for added control.

Head Graphene 360+ Speed 120

Used by Indian squash legend Saurav Ghosal, the Head Graphene 360+ Speed 120 Squash Racquet is perfect for players looking for explosive power combined with accurate touch.

This awesome racquet is pretty light (coming in at 120 grams) which makes it fast to play with, but it also has a head-heavy balance point, so you can get all that weight behind your swing.

It weighs 120 grams and has a 500 cm2 head size, a 20mm beam, a head-heavy balance point, and a power-focused 12 x 17 string pattern that can be restrung in a fanned 16 x 17 string pattern for added control.

Head Graphene 360+ Speed 135 Slimbody

Used by one Joelle King (one of the best female squash players on the PSA World Tour), the Head Graphene 360+ Speed 135 Slimbody Squash Racquet is incredibly powerful and super accurate to play with.

It's perfect for accuracy-focused players looking to control the rallies on their own terms. With that said, I’d also say that this is a great racquet for power if you’ve got a bit of time on the ball to play with a larger swing.

It weighs 135 grams and has a 500cm2 head size, a thin 16mm beam, a head-light balance point, and comes strung with a powerful open 12 x 17 string pattern that can be restrung into a more dense 16 x 17 string pattern for added control.

Head Graphene 360+ Speed 120 Slimbody

There are a number of reasons Paul 'Superman' Coll (one of the best players in the world) uses the Head Graphene 360+ Speed 120 Slimbody Squash Racquet...

It's light, fast to play with, and incredibly accurate too, making it perfectly suited for players looking to control rallies on their own terms using precise accuracy, but also for players looking to control the pace by taking the ball earlier with a shorter and more deceptive swing.

This racquet weighs 120 grams and has a 500cm2 head size, an even balance point, a thin 16mm beam, and comes strung with a powerful open 12 x 17 string pattern that can be restrung into a more-dense 16 x 17 string pattern for added control.
