HEAD Speed One X 2025

The compromise shape: power above centre, still usable below it.

The best contact is just above the centre; the lower half still returns the ball but with less bite.

Balance 270 mm puts the mass above the sweet spot — free pace on the smash, more effort on quick exchanges. At 365 g it sits in the standard weight window.

Padel handles come in one size; thickness is set with overgrips. Each overgrip adds roughly 1 mm and 5 g in the hand, which pulls the balance a touch lower — useful if the head feels slow. A thicker grip helps to control a head-heavy frame on the volley.

Works on either side — it neither forces you forward nor pins you back. 2D Carbon face.

Skip it if you are anyone nursing an elbow or shoulder — it is head-heavy or players who want a soft, cushioned feel.
