Head YouTek IG Speed MP 18/20 Tennis Racquet & Bag Bundle

Head YouTek IG Speed MP 18/20 Tennis Racquet & Bag Bundle Review



Head YouTek IG Speed MP 18/20 Tennis Racquet & Bag Bundle Feature

  • This racquet is strung with a 16g Synthetic at no charge.
  • Includes the Head backpack tennis bag.
  • Head does not include a cover with this racquet
  • used by Novak Djokovic
Updated for 2011, the Head Youtek IG Speed MP 18x20 is the new racquet used by Novak Djokovic and has a denser string pattern for improved control and stringbed stiffness in the IG Speed range of frames. Slightly wider 21mm beam, 100 square inch head, standard 27 inch length for a more forgiving feel than many of Head's other players frames, but without sacrificing control and feel. Introduces the use of lightweight Innegra fiber which in conjunction with Head carbon composite improves shock absorption and stability. Continues the use of d3o and DuPont Teflon grommets as found in the previous generation Speed MP. This combination of specifications adds up to a nicely controlled frame for advanced players with established strokes.

Head continues d3o technology in the Head YouTek line, and is a "smart" material in that it behaves differently under varying dynamic loading or impact. Integrated in the frame lay-up and positioned in the shaft area (where the racquet flexes the most), d3o seeks to help players maximize performance on all shots. High speed impacts lock d3o together within nanoseconds at the molecular level, stiffening the frame to provide maximum power. Conversely, on slower speed impacts, the d3o molecules absorb the impact providing softer touch for better feel.

The IG Speed MP also uses a DuPont Teflon grommet system that reduces friction. Less friction means maintaining more of the strings energy, and a resulting slight increase in power.

Headsize:100 sq. in.

  • Length:27.00 in.
  • Weight (strung):11.60 oz.
  • Stiffness (Babolat RDC):65

    • D3o smart material is dilatant foam which dramatically changes its behavior under dynamic loading or impact
    • D3o technology senses different strokes
    • Head grommets with teflon friction-reducing polymer provide low-friction contact surface
    • Babolat rdc 63 stiffness and 296-kilogram/square-centimeter swing weight
    • This racquet ships unstrung
    The YouTek Mojo tennis racquet offers an update to the Microgel Mojo and previous generation Heat racquets, and offers some of the controlled feel of HEAD player's racquets, but with a more forgiving sweets pot and lighter static weight and swingweight. The Mojo is equipped with HEAD's renowned YouTek package of features. YouTek combines technologies to match your individual needs. Whether aggressive and adventurous or consistent and smooth, YouTek enhances your performance and brings out the best in your game.

    The racquet is constructed of d3o smart material, a dilatant foam which dramatically changes its behavior under dynamic loading or impact. Integrated in the lay-up and positioned in the shaft area of the racquet, d3o technology senses different strokes. On high-speed impacts, the smart molecules lock together within nanoseconds and dramatically increase the stiffness of the whole racquet frame to provide maximum power. On slow-speed impacts like slices or drop shots, the d3o molecules absorb the impact to provide a softer touch for better feel.

    HEAD grommets with Teflon friction-reducing polymer provide a low-friction contact surface, enabling the strings to slide through the grommets with nearly no friction, creating a self-lubricating effect in the base material. Moving without resistance, the strings maintain their energy during ball impact, providing more power.

    Head® '09 Youtek Speed Pro Tennis Racquet 4 1/8

    Head® '09 Youtek Speed Pro Tennis Racquet 4 1/8 Review



    Head® '09 Youtek Speed Pro Tennis Racquet 4 1/8 Feature

    • Headsize:98 sq. in.
    • Length:27.00 in.
    • Weight (strung):12.40 oz.
    • Stiffness (Babolat RDC):68
    • Balance:12.50 in. Head Light
    This racquet is sold unstrung.

    The Head Speed Pro is the latest racquet of choice for Novak Djokovic and makes use of new Head technologies such as d3o and DuPont Teflon grommets in a player-oriented package. A 98 square inch head, thin 18mm beam, leather grip and 12.4 oz. strung weight add up to a very control and feel oriented stick for those players advanced enough to wield it. A more open 16x19 string pattern than Head typically has offered in its players frames makes the Speed Pro more spin friendly for topspin players. Head introduces d3o technology in the Head Speed Pro, and is a "smart" material in that it behaves differently under varying dynamic loading or impact. Integrated in the frame lay-up and positioned in the shaft area (where the racquet flexes the most), d3o seeks to help players maximize performance on all shots. High speed impacts lock d3o together within nanoseconds at the molecular level, stiffening the frame to provide maximum power. Conversely, on slower speed impacts, the d3o molecules absorb the impact providing softer touch for better feel. The Speed Pro also uses a DuPont Teflon grommet system that reduces friction. Less friction means maintaining more of the strings energy, and a resulting slight increase in power.

    Head Liquidmetal 4 Tennis Racquet

    Head Liquidmetal 4 Tennis Racquet Review



    Head Liquidmetal 4 Tennis Racquet Feature

    • Innovative mid-plus tennis racquet designed for players with moderate swing styles
    • Racquet's Liquidmetal material is 2-1/2 times stronger than titanium and 29 percent more powerful
    • Total Sweetspot Construction extends the sweet spot through the entire head for added control
    • NoShox dampening system reduces racquet vibrations by more than 27 percent
    • Integrated string dampener; 102-square-inch head size; measures 27.5 inches long
    The game of tennis is changing, and one of Head's key goals is to create specific technologies that ideally fit players' varied needs. That's why the company developed Liquidmetal technology, a revolutionary new material that produces a unique blend of power and control. The unique Liquidmetal atomic structure is 2-1/2 times stronger than titanium and delivers 29 percent more power. That means faster serves, better returns, and superior volleys. The secret to Liquidmetal's performance is its liquid atomic structure, which does not deform on impact. This allows Liquidmetal racquets to efficiently utilize the pure energy of each ball impact rather than losing it during the swing. Head takes full advantage of Liquidmetal by applying it to four strategic areas of the Liquidmetal 4's head, letting you power through the ball with confidence.

    The Liquidmetal 4 racquet also employs several other Head technologies. The racquet's Total Sweetspot Construction (TSC), for example, offers an innovative corrugated structure that increases the torsional stability in the racquet head. This corrugation extends the sweet spot through the entire head, resulting in superior control. Now you'll feel like you've hit the sweet spot with every shot. The racquet also includes Head's NoShox dampening system, which consists of a unique memory foam integrated into the racquet handle. The NoShox system significantly reduces racquet vibrations by more than 27 percent compared to conventional racquets, so even the most powerful game will be easy on the arm. Finally, the Liquidmetal 4 includes an integrated string dampener that's fixed onto the grommets. The string dampener reduces string vibration even more, encouraging a more comfortable swing while creating the perfect sound and feel when you hit the ball.

    The perfectly balanced mid-plus Liquidmetal 4 racquet is ideal for players with a moderate swing style.

    Specifications:

    • Head size: 102 square inches
    • Length: 27.5 inches
    • Weight: 9.7 ounces
    • Balance: 345mm
    • Grip size: 1-5
    • String pattern: 16/19
    • Swing style: S4

    About Head
    Head's roots trace back to 1950, when Howard Head--the inventor of the first metal ski--founded the company. Head added the Tyrolia bindings and Mares diving brands in the 1970s, and more recently acquired the Penn ball and Dacor diving brands in the 1990s. Although the parent company is organized into four divisions--winter sports, racquet sports, diving, and licensing--Head itself is primarily focused on racquet games, including tennis, squash, paddle, racquetball, and badminton. Head has locations throughout the world, but maintains its U.S. operations in Norwalk, Connecticut, and Phoenix, Arizona.

    The Head Liquidmetal 4 still offers some of the controlled feel of Head's player's racquets, but with a more forgiving sweetspot and significantly lighter weight. More forgiving than the Liquidmetal 2, but more controlled than the Liquidmetal 8, the Liquidmetal 4 is geared toward an intermediate player with a moderate to fast swing who requires a slightly larger sweetspot than traditional player's racquets. Open string pattern further enhances spin and size of the sweetspot. NoShox handle reduces vibrations by 27% without dampening feel.
