HEAD squash racquet Speed 120 is for everyone who needs extra power and low weight for easier and faster maneuverability.
In addition to the open throat and extended strings, it also features two HEAD technologies: Octagonal Power and Auxetic 2.0.
HEAD Speed 120 is designed for attacking players who like to take the initiative and play a lot in the front of the court. The lightweight frame enables quick racket preparation, and the new Auxetic 2.0 technology improves feel and feedback on ball contact.
The model uses a teardrop shape of the head, which allows longer main strings and thus greater potential for power. For additional power, the Octagonal Power Technology (OPT) in the shaft also contributes. The octagonal construction shape improves the racket’s response and provides a solid, yet slightly softer feel on impact.
The Stringbed X-Tension technology uses a special groove in the upper part of the frame, allowing strings more movement on contact with the ball. This increases the trampoline effect, helping to generate extra acceleration and higher ball speed. An important advantage of the model is also the Adaptive Fan Pattern (AFP). Players can choose between a classic straight string pattern for more power or a fan pattern for more control.
The construction also features Graphene Inside, which helps optimize mass distribution, stability and energy transfer.
HEAD Speed 120 is used by player Olivia Weaver, and the new generation has also received a refreshed look with elegant metallic champagne details.

OCTAGONAL POWER TECHNOLOGY (OPT) - HEADs’ engineers implemented a new Octagonal Power Technology into the rackets shaft, that offers more power and better feeling because of the octagonal shape.
AUXETIC 2.0 – Advanced construction that dynamically responds to impact force. The bigger the strain, the more powerful the response — resulting in better feeling and more precise feed-back.
GRAPHENE INSIDE - Installed at strategically important places, strengthens the frame, improves stability and optimizes energy transfer to the ball.
STRINGBED X-TENSION – grommets at the top side of the frame increase space and allow the strings to move more freely at ball impact. Since this produces an effect like a trampoline, the bounce increases for extra power.
ADAPTIVE FAN PATTERN – which allows you to choose between a straight string pattern for more power or a special fan shaped pattern for improved control.
