Head Gravity Team Light 2024

At 340 g the Head Gravity Team Light 2024 is the lightest racket in the 2024 Gravity family. Its three siblings start at 355 g and climb to 365 g. Same round shape, same 38 mm frame, same low balance label. The difference sits on the scale. You feel it in every defensive scramble.

340 g where the other Gravities start at 355

The weight is fixed at 340 g, no range. The Head Gravity Team 2024 weighs 360 g, the Head Gravity Motion 2024 weighs 355 g, and the Gravity Pro reaches 365 g. Fifteen to twenty-five grams sounds small on paper. On court it is the difference between reaching a low ball or not.

The balance sits at 270 mm with a low balance label. That puts more of the mass near your hand. Swings start faster and the racket recovers faster after contact. Quick reactions at the net and in defense become easier. The trade-off is familiar. Less mass in the head means less free power when you swing hard.

Control Foam under fiberglass: the soft recipe

The core is Control Foam, a soft foam. The face is fiberglass, a flexible material that bends on impact. The frame mixes carbon and graphene, and the surface is flat. Shops list the foam density as medium and the player profile as control.

Put together, this is a soft build. The ball sinks into the face and comes out with more dwell time. That helps placement, and the one court test singled out easy lobs as a strength. It does not help a flat smash. Soft foam absorbs energy instead of returning it at full speed.

Comfort benefits most. A soft core, a flexible face and low weight cut the shock that reaches your arm. Head's product page claims the reduced weight lowers the chance of injury. Treat that as a brand claim, not a medical fact. What the specs do support is simpler. This build is kind to elbows and wrists compared with stiff, heavy rackets.

What the one court test confirmed

One source, padel.how, played this racket and rated it 72 out of 100. They praised the quick handling, fast reactions and a broad, forgiving sweet spot. Their main complaint: a low power ceiling and limited smash capability. That matches the specs line by line.

Their advice is to choose this racket when minimum weight, fast reactions and easy lobs matter more than finishing power. That is a fair summary. Not a racket for winners off the smash, but a racket that keeps the ball in play.

One review is one review. Treat it as a useful signal, not the final word.

A pro name on a beginner and intermediate racket

One shop lists Bea González as the associated player. The listed level is beginner to intermediate. Head's own product page targets occasional and intermediate players. Those two facts sit oddly together. Pro players use custom setups, and a light racket with a low power ceiling is not what a professional attack looks like. Take the name as marketing. Take the level label as the honest signal: this racket is built for players still building their game.

Team Light, Team, Motion or Pro: picking your Gravity

All four 2024 Gravities share the round shape, 38 mm thickness and low balance label. The splits are weight and level. Note that none of the siblings adds power. All four share the same low power profile. Choosing a heavier Gravity buys you stability, not a bigger smash.

Pick the Team Light at 340 g if low weight and maneuverability top your list. Pick the Team at 360 g for the same beginner and intermediate target with more ballast. The Motion at 355 g and the Pro at 365 g aim at advanced players. The Pro also mixes carbon into the face for a firmer response.

Outside the family, the Bullpadel Raider Control plays the same card. Round shape, soft core, low power, high control. If you shop in this category, that comparison is worth a look.

The honest downside is power. Defensive players and patient builders will not miss it. If your game leans on finishing at the net, the fix is simple. Look at a different shape or line entirely, because every 2024 Gravity keeps power low.
