The 2026 Speed Team features a slightly larger head size and added stiffness to deliver easier power, making it ideal for occasional fast-swinging players who want a light, highly playable racquet.
The oversized 105-square-inch head delivers enhanced comfort through a larger sweet spot and increased trampoline effect, resulting in easier power. Paired with an open string pattern, the response feels lively with simple access to spin and added forgiveness. At just 9.5 ounces unstrung, the light weight promotes excellent manoeuvrability for comfortable net play, fluid serves, and efficient returns, while the racquet’s flexible feel further improves comfort and enhances touch and ball feel.
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.
With its larger head size, added stability from Hy-Bor, and the more connected response of Auxetic 2.0, this racquet delivers easier power and a more forgiving, confidence-boosting feel that current Speed players will immediately notice. For new players, it offers a highly accessible and manoeuvrable racquet that blends power, comfort, and control, making it an ideal entry point into the Speed series.

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.
