The other Speed rackets Head sells for 2025 weigh between 355 and 370 g. The Speed One sits below all of them at 345 g. Shops list a teardrop shape, a Carbon 2D face, a Power Foam core, Graphene Inside in the frame and a rough surface. One retailer gives a head of 465 cm2. The balance is listed as high, and that word matters more than it seems, because nobody publishes the number behind it.
Light on the scale, heavy at the head?
A weight of 345 g is light for a racket listed at the advanced level. It means less effort per swing and less fatigue late in a match. The high balance label points the other way. It says more of that weight sits toward the head, which makes a racket swing heavier than its weight suggests.
Without a balance in millimetres you cannot tell how far that goes. Only two 2025 Speed rackets have a published balance point: the Speed Motion at 270 mm and the Speed Team at 265 mm. Both are labelled medium. A high label usually means a point further toward the head than that, but without the number it stays a guess.
The meters on this page show the tension. They count the light weight in favour of maneuverability and the high balance against it, and land on low. That is the cautious reading. In your hand it may feel quicker, or it may not. Only a court test can settle it, and none exists yet.
What Carbon 2D and Power Foam add
The face is Carbon 2D. According to the product page, the carbon is woven in two dimensions to add resistance and hardness. A carbon face is firmer than fiberglass: more precision on clean contact, less give on off-center hits.
Behind it sits Power Foam. The profile treats it as a soft core. Soft foam gives the ball a little easy pace at slow speeds and takes some of the sting out of impact. On a light racket that helps the arm. Head also lists Graphene Inside in the frame, which the product page links to the sweet spot. An Auxetic 2.0 construction is said to improve feel. Treat both as the brand's claims.
The rough surface helps you grip the ball for slice and topspin on bandejas and víboras.
Speed One or Speed One X
The names are close, the rackets are not. The Head Speed One X 2025 weighs 365 g, twenty grams more. Its face is listed simply as carbon, with the same Power Foam core and the same high balance label. Shops list it at the professional level, and the profile rates its power high where the Speed One gets medium.
So the X is the heavier hitter and the Speed One the lighter take on the same idea. If your arm tires or your game is built on quick exchanges, the lighter one makes more sense. If you want mass behind the smash and can swing it for a full match, the X. You can put the two side by side to see every spec.
Where it fits in the Speed line
The rest of the 2025 Speed line spreads out by weight and balance. The Speed Pro and the Speed Pro X are the heavy options at up to 370 g, with medium and medium-high balance labels. The Speed Motion carries Ari Sánchez's name at 355 g and 270 mm. The Speed Team uses a fiberglass face at 365 g with a 265 mm balance.
The Speed One is the outlier: the lightest of them, with a head-heavy label. Head files it under advanced players, and one retailer calls its profile all-round. Both fit a light teardrop that can attack but does not force you to.
