Head Graphene 360+ Speed PWR

I suppose you have a pretty good idea what PWR means, right?  Well, you would be correct!  The Head Graphene 360+ Speed PWR is just that at a calculated power value of 2297.5!  Compare that to the calculated power value for the Head Graphene 360+ Speed Lite of 1838.3!  Twenty percent (20%) more powerful than the Lite!

This is what a 115 square inch head size can do for a racquet!  The strings are quite a bit longer and more widely spaced which contributes to power, and comfort.

This head size is normally referred to as a “game improvement” racquet and relegated to those players that were not too athletic and/or didn’t want to exert too much energy on each stroke.  In other words slow and short swings.

I am not sure that is the case with this racquet!  Sure it has a big head and a thick beam but it sure does feel good when picked up (first moment)!

If we were going to recommend this racquet I would suggest some weight added to the rear end.  The head does not need any additional weight.

As I am working on this post I realize how much trouble it is to switch between racquet reviews for comparison so I am including a link to the Head Graphene 360+ Speed Series Comparison.
