Speed MP (2024)
The Speed MP is the genre's great all-rounder — a 100 sq in, 300 g frame that does a little of everything well, with a comfortable, modern feel courtesy of Head's Auxetic construction. It's the easy "what should I buy?" answer for intermediate players who don't want to specialize too early.
