Sonic Pro 16

polyesterGauge 161.3mm

Head Sonic Pro 16 is a well-rounded polyester from a brand better known for rackets and shoes, but the Sonic Pro holds its own among competitive polyesters. Spin rates at 8.0/10 put it ahead of most entry-level polyesters while remaining approachable for players transitioning from synthetic gut. The 1.30mm gauge is slightly thicker than most spin-focused polyesters, adding a measure of durability that thinner options sacrifice. For Head racket players who want to run a single-brand setup, the Sonic Pro is the natural choice — a solid performer that delivers consistent results at a competitive price.
