With its characteristic rounded shape, the racket is recommended by professional players Alexander Zverev and Andrey Rublev.
This Head Gravity Tour is the racket of choice for aggressive tennis players looking for a high-performance, forgiving, control-oriented and stylish racket.
HEAD GRAVITY TOUR TEST
During our test, we noticed that the Gravity Tour, with its 645 cm² headsize and dense 18x20 string pattern, offers excellent precision on every shot, whether forehand, backhand or volley. The racket offers a remarkable compromise between precision and feel.
As a result, it gives us great confidence when hitting the ball, enabling us not to hold back our shots. Nonetheless, it requires a good quality of stroke to fully exploit the racket, as it lacks power.
Its 305g weight ensures good stability, and its 32cm balance guarantees satisfactory maneuverability. Its 22mm thickness offers an ideal balance between control and feel.
On off-center balls, the frame's flexibility ensures optimum comfort. Graphene Inside does a remarkable job of reducing vibration, even on off-center balls. What's more, the 18x20 string pattern is particularly suited to players who prefer a flat or slightly lifted stroke.
On serve, excellent precision is guaranteed thanks to good control and 62ra flexibility.
In short, this Head Gravity Tour Auxetic offers an unrivalled compromise between accuracy and ball touch. Stability and comfort also characterize this new model.
Its main weakness lies in access to lift, due to the tight string pattern(18x20), as well as its lack of power. Opt for Head Gravity MP and its 16x20 string pattern for better ball rotation.
HEAD GRAVITY TOUR 2023 TECHNOLOGIES
- AUXETIC : Auxetic constructions have a unique deformation that makes them capable of expanding when a tensile force is applied and contracting when compressed.
- GRAPHENE INSIDE: Graphene is carefully placed inside the racket to reinforce the frame, improve stability and optimize energy transfer from the racket to the ball.
- SWEET ZONE: The Sweetzone hitting zone is created from a round headsize with wider strings and raised ends for a more modern game.
- FLEX GROOVE: Deeper Flex groove eyelets lighten the geometric profile of the shoulder for better feel at impact.
- ELLIPTICAL BEAM: Elliptical beam profile, more oval at the shoulder, optimizes flex at impact for improved feel.
