The 2026 Speed MP offers intermediate to advanced players a well-balanced blend of feel and control, with easier manoeuvrability than the Pro or Tour models for a more accessible, user-friendly response.
At 10.6 ounces unstrung, the Speed MP sits just above average in weight, delivering a strong blend of power and stability on full swings without the added heft of the heavier models. Its head-light balance keeps the racquet quick and manoeuvrable, promoting fast racquet head speed, easy spin generation, and sharp, dynamic volleys. A 100-square-inch head size offers a generous sweet spot with accessible power and added comfort, while the open string pattern increases pop, enhances spin potential, and contributes to a more forgiving response. The frame’s flexible feel further improves comfort and provides excellent ball feedback.
The 2026 Speed lineup features Hy-Bor, a cutting-edge aerospace-inspired material added to the shaft, offering enhanced stability and a more solid, confident feel at impact. Auxetic 2.0 technology improves ball connection and feedback, and the updated metallic colourway with a matte finish refreshes the classic Speed black-and-white look.
The 2026 edition delivers a smoother, more confident response that current Speed players will immediately notice during fast rallies and full swings. For new players, it offers an accessible yet high-performance all-court frame, blending easy manoeuvrability with a balance of power and control.

Photos used contain images of strings for illustration purposes. Adult tennis racquets are unstrung unless otherwise noted or stringing services have been selected above. Brand logo stencils are not applied by default with stringing services. If you request brand logo stencils, please note that a stencil is painted onto the strings within a brand's stencil and may wear off over time - this is how stencils are applied on tour. Depending on the string you select, the stencil paint application fullness, colour and visibility may vary.
Adult racquets generally do not come with covers. To protect your racquet, we recommend getting a racquet bag.
Product specs such as weight may vary slightly from racquet to racquet to what is advertised due to the manufacturing process.
