Head Gravity MP 2023

Close behind the new Head Radical comes the new Head Gravity 2023! Not one but three (3!). The Gravity Pro, the Gravity MP, and the Gravity Team!

This Gravity MP 2023 demo racquet is ready to hit today!  If you have not hit with a Gravity you will be intrigued by the weight distribution.  

We are starting with the Gravity MP 2023.

Head Gravity has always used a multi-color graphic package with one color on one side and another color on the other side.  This was clever, and many players liked the look.

The new models use a “color-shifting” graphic that you can see here.  The colors are subtly different depending on how you look at the racquet.

And the graphic starts at the butt end on one side and starts at the tip on the other!  So it has a lot going on. 

The racquet is a 100-square-inch head with a fairly thin beam and deep throat shaft.

The string pattern is 16×20, which fills up the hitting area and produces a fairly dense pattern in the center of the racquet.  This may contribute to a slightly longer string life.

Let’s take a look at the specifications

You may notice the stiffness of this racquet should be perfect for the control component of your game and be very arm friendly (see effective stiffness).
