The Head Speed Elite 2024 tennis racquet is a fast, user-friendly option for players who are just starting out and want an easy introduction to the Speed family. Designed as an entry-level model within Head’s bestselling Speed series, this racquet is light, manoeuvrable, and simple to play with, helping beginners develop confident swings and consistent contact from the first hit.
With its manageable 265 gram unstrung weight and even balance, the Speed Elite feels quick through the air and comfortable in the hand. This makes it easier to learn proper technique and generate racquet head speed without needing advanced strength or timing. The 100 square inch head size gives you a forgiving sweet spot, offering extra help on off-centre hits while still providing enough control to build reliable rally skills. A 16x19 string pattern supports a balanced blend of spin and precision, encouraging developing players to explore topspin and placement as their game progresses.
Beyond performance, the Speed Elite 2024 also brings the same premium design found on the higher-end Speed models. That means beginners can enjoy the sleek, modern Speed look while playing with a racquet engineered specifically for their stage of development. If you are looking for a light, easy-to-handle frame that lets you play fast and grow into the sport, the Speed Elite 2024 is a strong choice.
Specifications
Please note, if you choose a string option that requires us to string the racquet for you, we do not add the brand's stencil. Simply request it in the comments if you'd like it and we'll add it for free. If you order a pre-strung racquet this will include the brand stencil on the string bed.
This racquet does not include a racquet cover. However, if you would like a standard cover, you can select one from the dropdown above.
The specs written on the racquet frame are unstrung and will be different to our strung specs. All racquet brands have manufacturing tolerances, so specs may differ slightly to the actual product received. Please contact us before ordering if you have any questions about a particular specification.
