The Head Gravity Tour 98 is getting closer!

Oct 21

Posted by

By now we suspect you have heard of the upcoming Head Gravity Tour 98 and may even have hit with it!

We have the pre-production model here, and it is being used enthusiastically. As you would expect, the feedback has been informative and interesting. We would like to invite you to add your comments, we welcome you to hit with our demo Head Gravity Tour 98!

Head Gravity Tour 98



Because we rely on numbers to help set up racquets for players, we need to know the numbers of the racquets being reviewed. Of course, we have those numbers for the one we have. Please note, however, that the swing weight numbers in the table are calculated, not measured.  

More accurate numbers will be added when we have the racquets “in hand” and test them.


This racquet, and the entire new Gravity line-up, will be available in January. We believe it will be a great launch of a fabulous racquet!  The frame geometry and graphics are extraordinary! You will probably see pictures of it soon but photographs can not begin to tell the aesthetic story!

The swing weights here are calculated, not measured!

The new Gravity line is made up of:

ModelWeight: Gram/OunceSwing Weight: CalculatedHead Size: Square InchString Pattern: Main/Cross

Head Gravity Tour 98-Pre Release Version

Sep 29

Posted by

If you have listened to our latest podcast, you will know a little about the new Head Gravity Tour 98, to be released in January 2025!

Racquet Quest, LLC has the pre-release version and is excited to share what we can.

The difference between what you may see online and what Racquet Quest, LLC has is we have taken a raw racquet and applied the desired specifications to it.

We see this as a racquet suitable for many playing styles and levels, so we began with a swing weight of 321 and an overall weight of 327.

After Stephanie’s brief video about her reactions to this Gravity Tour 98 racquet, we will return to associate her comments with the numbers in our review! Wouldn’t that be fun?

In Stepahines’ video, she adds several years to the age of her Gravity MP, calling it 2003. Actually, it is 2023.

Now, here’s Stephanie!

Now, the numbers…

Head Extreme Team 2024

Jul 6

Posted by

The Head Extreme Team 2024 is the lightest of the Extreme 2024 Series and presents a 105 square head with a 16×19 string pattern…which means a very “open” string pattern!  This “openness” can contribute to spin.

Head Extreme Team 2024

The “openness” can also contribute to lower string bed stiffness and may return a little more energy to your shots

This racquet makes a perfect platform for customization if your game changes but staying with a 105-head size is important.
