The new Head Adaptive Series of tennis racquets have finally arrived! The first two offerings in this new range of Adaptive racquets are the Graphene Touch Speed MP and the Graphene Touch Instinct MP. Let’s dig deep into each model.
The Graphene Touch Speed Adaptive and the Graphene Touch Instinct Adaptive are by far the most interesting releases of the year. Off the shelf, both the Speed MP and Instinct MP versions comes in at 300g which is almost perfect for a variety of players no matter their level of play. With its stock weight and balance this racquet offers exceptional touch, feel, and power. It also comes with Head’s exclusive Graphene Touch which according to Head is the world’s strongest yet lightest material which offers unique shock-absorbing characteristics to the frame’s construction. The result according to Head is less shock thanks to faster vibration reduction after ball impact and unparalleled touch providing even more wow moments.
So what makes these Adaptive series of racquets so special? These two models unlike any other Head tennis racquets have the ability to be customized to fit your individual needs! By using the Head Adaptive Tuning Kit (sold separately), you can customize the Adaptive Speed MP or Adaptive Instinct MP racquets to meet your exact needs. The kit includes everything needed to convert the string patterns to a much more open and spin friendly 16×16 pattern. Also included in the kit are weighted side grommet options which allow you to customize the swing weight of your racquet giving you the ability to fully customize the racquet’s balance. Adding additional length to these adaptive racquets is also made possible by using the included handle spacers that are able to extend the length of the racquet by 5mm, 10mm or 15mm. The Head Adaptive Kit also includes a weighted butt cap which can be used to add weight to the handle if so desired.
The new Head Adaptive Series of racquets is not for everyone but if you have a penchant for tinkering with your racquets then either the Graphene Speed MP Adaptive or the Graphene Instinct MP Adaptive might be right up your alley.
Both models and the Head Adaptive Tuning Kit are now available at First Serve Tennis.
