At 275g unstrung with an even balance, it moves quickly through the air without demanding technique or strength to generate pace. The 100 sq. in. head size provides a forgiving sweet spot that helps players make consistent contact while they develop timing, and the 16×19 string pattern gives access to spin as their game improves. Updated for 2026 with a fresh matte finish and premium metallic color treatment — the same aesthetic DNA as the Speed Pro used by Jannik Sinner, at a fraction of the weight and price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"156\" data-end=\"174\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"feat\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuxetic Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e — Placed in the yoke and handle, it flexes at impact for a more connected, comfortable feel — reducing the harsh vibration that can discourage new players from continuing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"feat\"\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"ti ti-shield-check\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGraphene Inside\u003c\/strong\u003e — Reinforces the frame at key structural points for greater stability and energy transfer — keeping the feel solid even at lower swing speeds.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"feat\"\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"ti ti-layout-grid\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Grommets + Directional Drilling\u003c\/strong\u003e — Enlarged grommets maximize string movement for added power on slower swings; directional drilling expands the sweet spot for a more forgiving contact zone.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"feat\"\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"ti ti-speedboat\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e275g Unstrung — Fast \u0026amp; Light\u003c\/strong\u003e — The lightest model in the Speed series.
