Honest observation: I have never seen Areg play so aggressively in any other racquet review video. It's like this new model, even with the minimal changes, breathed new life into him.
Glad to see you guys getting a hold of this racquet pre-release! I have a few random thoughts… 1. I think Auxetic for Head is a winner. It made the new Prestige’s feel super plush but solid. Looking forward to trying all their new models with Auxetic technology. 2. Paint wise, I think it’s classy and simple. Kind of a cop out on Head’s part, but I did used to use the black/white pro model 4 years ago or so, so the more black appeals to me more than the all white haha 3. I think you guys should maybe think about having a “guest appearance” every so often. Maybe even a high level girl, might help the channel reach more women. Just a thought! 4. Absolutely love your channel. I know I say it a lot, but this is the best tennis review site right up there with Tennisnerd. 5. How about Rafa with #21?!! GOAT 🐐 6. Maybe try reviewing more equipment (strings, shoes, etc.) 7. Few suggestions for future racquets to review.. Tecnifibre TF40 (new ones that just came out, any version), Dunlop CX line, Dunlop SX 98 that just came out, then there’s a new Babolat Pure Strike VS coming out soon as well, Yonex E-Zone 98/100 (new versions) then of course the Pro model of the Speed you just tested when it comes available to you guys. Keep up the good work! 8. Do you guys have Patreon? I’d be more than happy to donate to help the channel and get equipment for you guys!
Thank you so much for the awesome feetback and suggestions!! I definitely agree with you on the Auxetic, it's awesome! Rackets are feeling great! Not that easy to find guests who aren't shy and ready to be filmed! Definitely inviting a girl would be cool! Rafa, insane. All I can say 😂🥴 Other equipment, for sure although we know it's not gonna be as popular. Still worth trying. We are literally working on patreon right now!! It's absolutely awesome and incredible to know that you'd like to support us! It really means the world!!
Had the 2021 speed mp for 7 months, got my finger, wrist, shoulder hurt. Demoed ezone 100 2022, and it was so awesome! Initially thought it was the string being too stiff since on paper the speed is softer than the ezone. Changed to the same string but the speed still felt like a board. Now I bought the new ezone 100 and I’m happy ever after!
@@gladiatorstribe is the new speed as soft as the ezone 100 2020 or even softer ? I read Somewhere it was as soft as a blade but not as a clash are you ok ?
Glad you guys are back. Hey Grisha, I play exactly like you but I want to change my racquet. The thing is, I would pick the gravity if I could even hold it💀. I want power over control, do you have any recommendation racquets?
Hello Glads! Very nice review and enjoyable as ever. Came back to look for this one as after about 6 months I find myself thinking of switching racquets again. I come from a Prestige affair lasted for years through several models, briefly I used a Radical MP but then came back to Prestige. At some point I felt the need for a more forgiving and bigger headsize, given my liking I felt right to switch to Gravity MP. Worth saying that I use leather grip. I feel I’m missing something, not really satisfied with Gravity. Why? I lack power and in general I feel it detached, not anywhere near what any Prestige I used would do. I don’t want to come back to it as the head size would be too small and Prestige Tour/MP would be too heavy with leather grip. Would you switch for Speed Mp with leather?
@@gladiatorstribe i am wondering who needs more power? when more power necessarily leads to more mistakes, i start to understand now Djokovic game. Uses less strength and saves more energy but cant slam the ball like RF does
@@hrabmv Putting it in simple terms, some people like to play with powerful frames, because all they want to focus on is controling the ball. Forgetting about applying power.
@@gladiatorstribe true!! took me several years to get this lol. the stick makes the difference in the game more than i thought, thanks so much i have learnt a lot from you!!
Looking forward to your review on the the new Ezone 2022 edition, you rated the previous version really highly so it will be interesting to see your opinions on it.
yeah keen to see your thoughts on the new Ezone 2022 98 version, the Tennis nerd dude Jonas seems really positive about it and I am looking at trying to get one to demo which is like impossible atm as everyone else has the same idea!
@@CH-yp5by I tried the new 98/100 a few weeks back or so. I actually enjoyed the previous version much better. This one felt like I couldn’t feel where the ball was on the string bed and didn’t know where the ball was always going. I think the thicker/stiffer beam made it lose some feel but gain some more power. It wasn’t my cup of tea but maybe you’ll like it. It’s personal choice for sure. I’d definitely go with the last version IMO if it were me. I’m at the same level as these guys and I’m 32 as well. Not sure if any of this helps! Definitely need to try them, worth a demo for sure. Not bad racquets by any means, just compared to the last version these were my thoughts. They’re better than a lot of racquets out there right now!
I just noticed the head shape has been changed. That is actually a big change. Now it looks more similar to the actual racket Djokovic is using. And with the new head shape, I’m expecting it to be softer and more forgiving
Hey Glads, I currently use a Pure Drive 2018 and I hit with a lot of spin in my shots. As I've progressed, I feel the power is too much for me and I'd like to shift to a more control-oriented racquet that would still support my highly-western topspinny (if that’s a word, but u know what i mean 🤦🏽😆) forehand. I have a flat backhand tho, so am a little bit worried to shift to the Aero. I am currently looking at the 2022 Boom MP and Speed MP, also Pure Aero *VS* and Vcore 98 on the side. A general suggestion for a frame would be good from you guys 😄 Thank you!
Amazing content guys! Every time you make a review, I wanna buy and try the racquet lol. May I know which kind of forehand grip are you guys using? I just went back to tennis after a 15 years hiatus and it looks like everything changed xD
That's just awesome to know!! Thank you so much!! Areg uses a Semi-Western grip and I use something in between a Semi-Western and Full Western grip. Things have changed a lot in the last 15 years that's for sure! Way less Continental grip players these days! We hope your return to the sport is going well!
@@jordanchong7311 ok, so in real I'm using gravity tour customized to pro specs. I decide to don't buy speed pro, it's thick beam... 22mm is my highest possible beam for me. (Btw I didn't buy pro version because of QC :D, overspecs frame would be too slow and sluggish. )
If your rackets are in good shape and you like them, there's no need. Areg isn't gonna be switching. No need to spend extra money on a very similar racket if your frames are still living 😉
Do your joints hurt? With the 2021 one my joints got hurt constantly. The new racket has a better shape and more dampening (according to the video). So I think it’s worth switching just to get rid of the potential injury. I switched to ezone 100 2022 and I’m very happy with it!
Areg, what are the specific weights you use to customize yours? I am debating between customizing a MP or move up to the PRO. Currently playing with a gravity pro. Looking for a bit more power and stability. Thanks for all the reviews, you guys are awesome!
Hi, around 8 minutes Areg talks about adding weight to his racquet? Just curious how much he adds to keep it stable against the big hitters in these videos.
The racket is not the most control oriented. No matter if play OH or TH backhand there are rackets with better control out there. Though I'd say that the maneuverability and overall specs of this one are pretty good for one handed backhand players 😉
@@gladiatorstribe Many thanx for your response😊👍, so I will try it out. I was really impressed of your test. It looked like you were hitting really hard balls.
Just ordered two of the MP L with your coupon code. Thanks. Thoughts? Same swing weight and racquet. Just way less static. Trying to find something even faster through air.
It's awesome you guys did this review. Looks like the new tech is making a difference. I would love to see if the new speed pro is improved at all. I'm still invested in the prior white version. maybe Areg will switch to the 2022 speed pro if they blacked it all out?
Hi, i have been using the Wilson Clash V2 295 g. I converted from the Pure Aero 2019 285g. Both using same string luxillon 125 strung 50lbs. Ive used it for 3 months now and i felt out of control with it. Everything felt too bouncy and i couldnt have a feel. The pure aero was better for me in terms of just feel. Should i change to Head Speed pro MP? Thanks
Hello! Any recommendation on which strings to put on this gem, to get the best out of it? 1.23 1.25 ... Any opinions on the topic? Thanks and continue with the good work 💪
Got the speed mp 2021 sexy black version. Does the 2022 version have more control? Love the speed editions but playtested a Babolat pure drive and everything felt so much smoother.
I've been playing speed MP for the last 1,5 years now and was happy with it most of the time but the thing you describe with a lot of balls going long, when I'm having an off day or feel a bit insecure I dont dare to swing properly and it becomes a huge issue for my mental game (so I'm going to try to switch to something less powerful more control oriented and see if that helps),,,
It's a better racket altogether in my (Grisha) opinion. Like it should be with a new generation but if you're happy with the previous gen and you don't have any problems with the stiffer feel, I don't think there's a point to upgrade. Though if your racket is old and feeling weak, then yeah. Definitely worth it.
The speed mp is more powerful and a bit more stable due to the weight. Though adding weight to the Rebound would solve those two problems. Very similar rackets, I'd recommend you compare them side by side if you can.
Great review! I bought this racket and I love it. It is simply amazing. Areg talks about lack of stability that can be fixed by adding weight on the racket. Where on the racket and how did you add weight? Would you recommend me to do that?
That’s my current racquet. Have Luxilon Element in the mains and Head Velocity MLT in the crosses. And I like it a lot. I don’t need help with power. So it works for me. I can take a full swing at the ball. I’m thinking of getting the new Speed Pro to try as well.
@@silverstacker8282 yea I think those two rackets are very similar... My expectations are that the Prestige might be a bit better for spin and the Speed for plow through.. but who knows! Maybe Gladiators can do a head-to-head (pun very much intended) comparison?
Does Areg Play the Speed MP with original specs? Or has he SG some modifications like leathergrip or some lead or headtape? Which gripsize does he Play and how Many overgrips 😉?
hey AREG! Thank you for reviewing 2022 Speed mp! You said that you added a little weight to the racket to increase stability. Can you tell where the weight was added?
Do you think the 2022 Speed Team (275gr) racket is good for a female new tennis player? She tried my 300gr yonex ezone and it's too heavy. Is it forgiving enough for a newbie?
Question for the gladiators: choices: Stock Blade v8 16x19; stock 2022 Head Speed MP…. if you could only take one of these two racquets to a tournament, which one would each of you choose? 🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾
one question pls, real pro racquets are shiny, amateuer versions of the same are not, is this true ? this is what the guy who works in a string shop said, they string for pro athletes. What is the diff? that shiny paint looks sooo good.
I'm pretty sure that that's how it works with Wilson rackets. The ones that are matte in commercial versions are shiny as pro stocks and the other way around.
@@hrabmv I'm going to guess that shiny paint jobs look better on TV. I've heard some people say that glossy frames play better, but to be honest I haven't looked into it so that could be outright nonsense. Some commercial frames are glossy, like the Tecnifibre Trebound 298 IGA.
Heh, Areg so aggressive!! You should play more like that! Very entertaining video! When this frame came out, I was quite skeptical because of such minimal changes. Also, how did you get this so early! 😂 Anyway I loved this video, and you guys are doing such a good job with these as always! 🤗💯
He definitely should!! So were we! Having tried it though, quite a noticeable change. We're actually not sure how we got it so early ourselves 😂😂 Thank you very much, as always, really appreciate your awesome feetback!!
i am sp3achless after the AO final ( even your intro could not cheer me up lol) so sad that dirty politics things that hv nothing to do with sport play an important part in tennis outcome. And i stick to my yonex 97 vcore pro older version ( had no idea i bought the old versio n lol) luckily i loove racquets with precision and where i can hit as much as i like and not missing long. So i stay away from power racquets even if they are much better for serves and defense. My game style is offensive game:)) enjoy it so much having control of the game. i played with this version head speed MP for 2.5 years and made me frustrated many times lol, but played huge role in my transition to better player. to sum it up this is the best racquet for 90% baseliner style!!! the 2019 version was much better, softer on arm. I would keep on playing with it if i did not come to your chanell and got curious about yonex:))) thanks guys for all you do!!! love your positive energy
Yeah, the final was quite interesting but a bit upsetting in a way ☹️ It's awesome to know that our channel made you switch to a racket that you ended up loving! Means a lot! In terms of the speed mp. The old one was a racket that I (Grisha) never ended up fully understanding but the new one is a whole other story!
Head need a new cosmetic design, Grisha which is better for spin and control, this racquet, pure aero or the Iga. I tried the last speed thinking 360+ would make it plush like the gravity but ah no.
Is the depth and directional control too bad with this new Speed MP? Which raquets are similar to this one in termns of control? YOU ROCK, GLADIATORS!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahaha THANK YOU!! Rackets similar in terms of control, Babolat Pure Drive (similar but a bit less controlled) Extreme Tour (similar but a bit more controlled)
@@gladiatorstribe I dont know about the Extreme Tour, some other testers said that it is anemic, no power, very small sweetspot other like you guys said that it has power and the sweetspot seems to be at least ok. I dont know what to thing........

Hi!
How is it compare to the previous version(360+)?
Big difference? Worth to upgrade?
Thank you
It's a better racket altogether in my (Grisha) opinion. Like it should be with a new generation but if you're happy with the previous gen and you don't have any problems with the stiffer feel, I don't think there's a point to upgrade. Though if your racket is old and feeling weak, then yeah. Definitely worth it.
Hi, how do you compare with Tecnifibre trebound 298 Iga?
The speed mp is more powerful and a bit more stable due to the weight. Though adding weight to the Rebound would solve those two problems. Very similar rackets, I'd recommend you compare them side by side if you can.
Great review! I bought this racket and I love it. It is simply amazing. Areg talks about lack of stability that can be fixed by adding weight on the racket. Where on the racket and how did you add weight? Would you recommend me to do that?
Areg has silicone in the grip and about 3 grams at 12 o'clock 😉
reduced swingweight noticeable?
Not that much 🤔
hey grish. is it right, just an 8 for power? because you always say, it‘s a very powerful racquet, near to the pure drive
It is, honestly, should be higher. About an 8,5 - 9
I agree with this sentence. Very powerful.
Cool Review as always! How and to what specs did Areg customize his MP?
He added lead to 12 o'clock and silicone to the grip. Not sure about the exact weight though 😬
Please review the Auxetic Prestige MP! Enjoyed the video as always.
That’s my current racquet. Have Luxilon Element in the mains and Head Velocity MLT in the crosses. And I like it a lot. I don’t need help with power. So it works for me. I can take a full swing at the ball. I’m thinking of getting the new Speed Pro to try as well.
Would love to review it! We will as soon as it arrives for us to film!
@@silverstacker8282 yea I think those two rackets are very similar... My expectations are that the Prestige might be a bit better for spin and the Speed for plow through.. but who knows! Maybe Gladiators can do a head-to-head (pun very much intended) comparison?
Can you please review unusual tennis racquets ?
Such as? 😂😂
@@gladiatorstribe curve star, racquet with two handles.
Does Areg Play the Speed MP with original specs? Or has he SG some modifications like leathergrip or some lead or headtape?
Which gripsize does he Play and how Many overgrips 😉?
Head Speed MP 2022 vs Yonex EZONE 100? Wich one do you guys prefer?
That's a very close one. It would come down to which feels better under customization.
What size grip did you play test with?
Grip 3 😉
Do you guys have merch!?
Not yet but we will!!
how this compare to ezone 100?
hey AREG! Thank you for reviewing 2022 Speed mp!
You said that you added a little weight to the racket to increase stability. Can you tell where the weight was added?
You're welcome! And thanks for the feetback! (from Areg) He added weight to 12 o'clock and silicone in the grip.
Do you think the 2022 Speed Team (275gr) racket is good for a female new tennis player? She tried my 300gr yonex ezone and it's too heavy. Is it forgiving enough for a newbie?
Well, 25 grams are really really noticeable. It should be fine for her 😉
Question for the gladiators: choices: Stock Blade v8 16x19; stock 2022 Head Speed MP…. if you could only take one of these two racquets to a tournament, which one would each of you choose? 🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾
We'd both go for the 2022 Speed MP 😉
one question pls, real pro racquets are shiny, amateuer versions of the same are not, is this true ? this is what the guy who works in a string shop said, they string for pro athletes. What is the diff? that shiny paint looks sooo good.
I'm pretty sure that that's how it works with Wilson rackets. The ones that are matte in commercial versions are shiny as pro stocks and the other way around.
@@gladiatorstribe yes true, Wilson has this. What is the reason? are shiny versions better? thank You
@@hrabmv I'm going to guess that shiny paint jobs look better on TV. I've heard some people say that glossy frames play better, but to be honest I haven't looked into it so that could be outright nonsense. Some commercial frames are glossy, like the Tecnifibre Trebound 298 IGA.
@@sjjapp not just in tv, but in reality too :) i was never into the looks of racquet but that makes them really " feel" special
@@hrabmv yep, definitely makes them look more of a quality product / expensive.
Any chance of reviewing the new Speed Pro and comparing it to the Speed MP?
We will review it in the future, stay tuned!!
Interesting that you've rated both the Extreme Tour (98") and Speed MP (100") nearly identically.
we want ezone 98(2022)
We do too!!
Heh, Areg so aggressive!! You should play more like that! Very entertaining video! When this frame came out, I was quite skeptical because of such minimal changes. Also, how did you get this so early! 😂 Anyway I loved this video, and you guys are doing such a good job with these as always! 🤗💯
He definitely should!! So were we! Having tried it though, quite a noticeable change. We're actually not sure how we got it so early ourselves 😂😂 Thank you very much, as always, really appreciate your awesome feetback!!
AREG… Would you switch the Head Speed Auxetic MP for the Auxetic Extreme MP?
Hey guys, Would you say it’s worth upgrading from the previous model?
They new one is definitely a better racket. If your current frame is becoming a bit used and old, I would definitely think about switching.
And they ended up making a all black speed 6:55
i am sp3achless after the AO final ( even your intro could not cheer me up lol) so sad that dirty politics things that hv nothing to do with sport play an important part in tennis outcome. And i stick to my yonex 97 vcore pro older version ( had no idea i bought the old versio n lol) luckily i loove racquets with precision and where i can hit as much as i like and not missing long. So i stay away from power racquets even if they are much better for serves and defense. My game style is offensive game:)) enjoy it so much having control of the game. i played with this version head speed MP for 2.5 years and made me frustrated many times lol, but played huge role in my transition to better player. to sum it up this is the best racquet for 90% baseliner style!!! the 2019 version was much better, softer on arm. I would keep on playing with it if i did not come to your chanell and got curious about yonex:))) thanks guys for all you do!!! love your positive energy
Yeah, the final was quite interesting but a bit upsetting in a way ☹️ It's awesome to know that our channel made you switch to a racket that you ended up loving! Means a lot! In terms of the speed mp. The old one was a racket that I (Grisha) never ended up fully understanding but the new one is a whole other story!
Head need a new cosmetic design, Grisha which is better for spin and control, this racquet, pure aero or the Iga. I tried the last speed thinking 360+ would make it plush like the gravity but ah no.
It's definitely not a soft racket, for sure. Pure Aero for spin any day!
We are still waiting for review of Pro version)) Thank you gays for your impact, it's amazing work!!!❤❤❤
Thank you very much! Stay tuned!!!!! 😉
Is the depth and directional control too bad with this new Speed MP? Which raquets are similar to this one in termns of control? YOU ROCK, GLADIATORS!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahaha THANK YOU!! Rackets similar in terms of control, Babolat Pure Drive (similar but a bit less controlled) Extreme Tour (similar but a bit more controlled)
@@gladiatorstribe I dont know about the Extreme Tour, some other testers said that it is anemic, no power, very small sweetspot other like you guys said that it has power and the sweetspot seems to be at least ok. I dont know what to thing........
@@diegoeste14 Oh no! Is there no way you can test it? It's definitely not the most powerful one but it's not weak whatsoever!!
What a video
Thanks 😂💪🏽
Stiffness is actually 62
What grip size do you like?
Areg uses a 2 I do 4 but switching to 3 now 😉
Your videos motivated me a lot. Thanks for making these videos. You guys deserve millions of subs. Everyone reading this please sub to the Glads.
Motivating you means so much to us!! Thank you very much!! For the extra marketing as well 😂😂🤭
- Благодарю за ваши труды! - Короче говоря, особой разницы нет, что последняя, что предпоследняя, что пред-предпоследняя... :)
Благодарим за отзыв! Разница конечно есть но не большая, это да 😂😂
@@gladiatorstribe - Разумеется разница есть. ... Одна и должна быть, ... в увеличенной цене. :)))
