The HEAD Gravity 2021 presents the latest up to date technology. The Graphene 360 material, which is an ever present feature in many HEAD racket ranges since its introduction in 2018, is positioned in the shaft of the racket and extends throughout the racket head. To add to this, the innovative spiralfibres allow enhanced flex and a clean impact on connection with the ball, aiding power as well as control on the court. The added flex groove technology “softens the cross section geometry in the shoulder area for enhanced impact feel”.
