Head
Speed MP 2026
The Speed MP 2026 is HEAD's most versatile all-rounder, now with Hy-Bor — a material borrowed from the aerospace industry that reinforces the shaft for a more stable, solid feel through contact. Auxetic 2.0 delivers the connected feel that has become the Speed line's signature. At 60 RA, the Speed MP 2026 is more comfortable than its predecessor while maintaining the 329 swingweight that gives it solid plow-through for a 100 sq in frame. Endorsed by Jannik Sinner, this is the model for tournament players who want a perfect blend of power and control.

Our review
The go-to recommendation for intermediate to advanced all-court players who want a balanced frame that handles everything well. Hard to make a mistake with this one.
Editorial note
The Speed MP 2026 keeps everything the 2024 did well and adds meaningful improvements. Hy-Bor is a real material upgrade, not just a spec sheet claim. The best Speed MP yet.
