[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Head Gravity Team 2024 is a round, low-balance racket with a foam core and fiberglass faces, listed at a fixed 360 g. On paper it is the comfort option of the Gravity family: forgiving, easy on the arm, short on power. The one court test on record rates it 74 out of 100 and confirms the broad sweet spot. The catch: hard hitters will find the ceiling quickly. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 30 September 2026 Choose it if - you build points with patience and want easy depth from the back of the court - your arm is sensitive and a soft foam core sounds like relief, not a compromise - you are moving past your first racket and want control without a demanding swing Skip it if - you finish points with the smash and need the racket to add pace on its own - you want the lightest option in the family, so look at the Head Gravity Team Light 2024 instead - you prefer a carbon and fiberglass face and accept low maneuverability, which points to the Head Gravity Pro 2024 ## How it plays 8.5 **padell.io score 8.5** Play 8.8 (60%) and reviews 8.1 (40%).

The praise goes to the large sweet spot, the forgiveness and the soft feel that produces easy defensive depth. The criticism goes to the limited power ceiling and modest spin generation, consistent with the flat surface and soft foam. Their recommended player is the intermediate who builds points patiently, which matches the beginner-to-intermediate level retailers list. With a single review there is no disagreement to report, but also no second opinion. The picture is coherent, just thin: one court test, one rating, pointing the same direction as the construction. [**padel.how** 7.4 “Prioritizes predictable depth, a broad sweet spot and soft impact rather than hard-ball precision.” Read the full review →](https://padel.how/equipment/racket/head-gravity-team-2024-review/) The Head Gravity Team 2024 runs the softest recipe in its family: foam under fiberglass, at a fixed 360 g. [Round shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/), low balance, flat surface. Nothing on the spec sheet chases power. Everything points toward comfort and predictability. That makes it a clear proposition: if you win points by placing the ball rather than crushing it, this racket is built around your game. ## Foam under fiberglass: built for depth from the back of the court Retailers list the core as plain foam, the face as fiberglass and the frame as carbon. Foam is the soft end of the core spectrum. It compresses on impact, holds the ball a fraction longer and sends it back with depth rather than speed. From the back of the court that is useful. Your defensive lobs and chiquitas carry even without a clean swing. One note on the core: Head's own product page calls it Control Foam, the same name used in the [Gravity Pro](https://padell.io/rackets/head/gravity-pro-2024/) and [Team Light](https://padell.io/rackets/head/gravity-team-light-2024/). Retailers list it simply as foam. Take that as a naming disagreement, not a measured difference. What matters is that the core sits at the soft end, and the on-court effect is comfort first. The fiberglass face adds to that. Fiberglass flexes more than carbon at impact, which softens the hit and helps the ball out on slow, defensive swings. The trade is a less crisp response when you accelerate hard. You feel it most on the smash. ## Fixed at 360 g: what that one weight asks of you Shops list one weight: 360 g, both minimum and maximum. There is no lighter or heavier variant of this model. Some retailers additionally list a nominal weight of 355 g. 360 g is middle-of-the-road. Not light, not heavy. Combined with the low balance of 265 mm, the racket handles faster than the number suggests. The weight sits close to your hand, so volleys and quick reactions at the net stay manageable. Head also claims Smart Bridge in the bridge area and a Soft Butt Cap to cut vibration; treat those as brand claims, not measured facts. If 360 g is more than you want, the family has an answer. The Head Gravity Team Light 2024 comes in at 340 g with a 270 mm balance. It rates high on maneuverability. Same idea, lighter execution. ## 74 out of 100 from the one court test on record Exactly one source has played this racket and published a rating. Padel.how, a tested review, scores it 74 out of 100. The praise lands where the specs say it should: a large sweet spot with strong forgiveness, and a soft feel that makes defensive depth easy. Their summary, in their words: "Prioritizes predictable depth, a broad sweet spot and soft impact rather than hard-ball precision." The criticism is the mirror image. The power ceiling is limited, and spin generation is low. The flat surface does not grab the ball the way a rough finish would, so heavy slice and kick ask more of your technique. The player they recommend: intermediates who want comfortable control and patient point construction. That matches the level retailers publish, beginner to intermediate. If you play advanced and attack often, the review suggests you will outgrow it. The Gravity family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**Pro**](https://padell.io/rackets/head/gravity-pro-2024/) [**Motion**](https://padell.io/rackets/head/gravity-motion-2024/) **Team** [**Team Light**](https://padell.io/rackets/head/gravity-team-light-2024/) ## The power ceiling the reviewer flagged, and how to play around it Power is the weak meter here, and it is honest weakness. Soft foam and fiberglass return energy gently. When you swing flat and hard, the racket does not multiply your effort the way a stiff diamond would. What can you do about it? Three things. First, finish points with placement: a bandeja into the corner ends more rallies at club level than a smash through the back glass. Second, use your legs and shoulder turn on overheads; the racket rewards a full swing with enough depth. Third, accept that this racket wins long rallies, not short ones. If your game already works that way, the ceiling matters less than it sounds. If it does not, look up the family tree. The Head Gravity Pro 2024 uses a carbon and fiberglass face and is listed for advanced players, though its maneuverability rating drops to low. The [Head Gravity Motion 2024](https://padell.io/rackets/head/gravity-motion-2024/) sits in between at 355 g. ## Optix V2 Lite or Discover CTR: three rackets, one meter profile Two rackets from other brands match this one meter for meter: high control, low power, high comfort, medium maneuverability, high sweet spot. The [Wilson Optix V2 Lite Lilac](https://padell.io/rackets/wilson/optix-v2-lite-lilac/) runs a soft EVA core and fiberglass face at 355 g with an even lower balance of 260 mm. The [Bullpadel Discover CTR 2025](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/discover-ctr-2025/) also uses soft EVA and fiberglass, and shops list it heavier, 360 to 370 g. Same profile does not mean same racket. Cores differ, weights differ, and the Gravity Team is the one with a published court test behind it. But if you shop on playing character alone, these three aim at the same player. Someone who wants the ball deep, the arm fresh and the errors low.

It rates high on maneuverability, while the Team is fixed at 360 g with a 265 mm balance. The Team Light also lists a Control Foam core and Bea González as pro player. Same idea, lighter build. **Is the Head Gravity Team 2024 good for beginners?** Retailers list it for beginner to intermediate players. The specs support that: round shape, low balance and a soft foam core make it forgiving and easy to swing. The one court test names intermediates as its target, so a total beginner may find simpler entry rackets, but nothing here punishes one. **Does the Gravity Team 2024 have enough power for attacking play?** Not much. The tested review at padel.how flags a limited power ceiling, and the soft foam with fiberglass face is built for control, not pace. If you finish points with the smash, the Gravity Pro 2024 with its carbon and fiberglass face is the family member to compare. **Is the core foam or Control Foam?** Retailers list the core simply as foam, while Head's product page calls it Control Foam. That is a naming disagreement between sources, not a measured difference. Either way, the core sits at the soft end, which is what you feel on court. **Is the Gravity Team 2024 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Pricey today" compared with the rackets that play most alike. Which shops deliver, and what shipping costs, depends on your country. The price comparison shows it for yours. See all prices **What is the closest alternative?** The Bullpadel Indiga CTR 2023 plays most alike. On paper the differences are under one point. [Compare side by side →](https://padell.io/compare/bullpadel-indiga-ctr-2023-vs-head-gravity-team-2024/) **Who should not buy it?** Skip it if you want easy power for smashes (power 2.0/10). **How heavy is it really?** The brand gives 360 g. That counts as medium. Each racket can differ within that range. [Why a range? →](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/)
