The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the HEAD Graphene XT Speed MP draws the most consistent all-around praise of any sub-$100 frame in this pool. Tennis Warehouse highlights the Graphene XT material and Adaptive String Pattern, while Tennis Express describes 'an impressive blend of control and power on both groundstrokes and serves' with solid maneuverability at net. On r/10s, the recurring line is that it's 'a great racquet for basically any level' — forgiving enough that a beginner can grow into it, yet good enough that pro players have used the Speed family.
What reviewers liked
- Strong Amazon rating (4.7) across roughly 497 reviews
- r/10s consensus calls it versatile and suitable across skill levels
- Reviewers cite a good blend of control, power and maneuverability
- Affordable for a graphite performance frame at around $99
Where it falls short
- One r/10s reviewer notes it can feel stiffer on the arm than some alternatives
- Community describes it as only 'moderately precise' on serves
- No high-trust independent testing lab in the signals to verify performance claims
- Frame mould has changed across iterations, so this specific version differs from current models

It's a great racket! Especially on sale. The mould of the frame has changed a bit with the later iterations, but this is still a really solid stick.
