[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Head Speed One 2025 is the lightest racket in Head's 2025 Speed line. It is a teardrop at 345 g with a Carbon 2D face and a Power Foam core. Shops label the balance high, but the number in millimetres is not published. On paper that gives a quick racket with an attacking tilt. Nobody has tested it yet. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 26 September 2026 Choose it if - you want an attacking teardrop that stays light enough for long matches - the Speed One X appeals to you but 365 g is more than you want to swing - you play from the back with full swings and like a rough face for spin Skip it if - you need to know where the balance sits before you buy, since only a label is published - maximum power is the goal, the [Head Speed One X 2025](/rackets/head/speed-one-x-2025/) adds twenty grams and rates higher on power - comfort comes first, the [Siux Pegasus Graphene 1K](/rackets/siux/pegasus-graphene-1k/) is a teardrop rated higher on comfort ## How it plays 8.1 **padell.io score 8.1** Play 7.9 (60%) and reviews 8.3 (40%).

The Speed One sits below all of them at 345 g. Shops list a [teardrop shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/), 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](https://padell.io/rackets/head/speed-motion-2027/) at 270 mm and the [Speed Team](https://padell.io/rackets/head/speed-team-2025/) 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](https://padell.io/rackets/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](https://padell.io/compare/head-speed-one-x-2025-vs-head-speed-one-2025/) 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](https://padell.io/rackets/head/speed-pro-x-2025/) 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. The Speed family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**Pro X**](https://padell.io/rackets/head/speed-pro-x-2025/) **One** [**One X**](https://padell.io/rackets/head/speed-one-x-2025/) [**Pro**](https://padell.io/rackets/head/speed-pro-2025/) [**Motion**](https://padell.io/rackets/head/speed-motion-2025/) [**Team**](https://padell.io/rackets/head/speed-team-2025/) ## Two numbers still missing Two specs that shape the feel are not published: the balance point and the thickness of the frame. There is no independent review, video or player thread either. The judgements here rest on the listed specs and on Head's own claims about the materials. If you can demo it, pay attention to how the head moves on a fast volley. That one sensation answers the question the spec sheet leaves open.

The Speed One is listed at 345 g for advanced players, the One X at 365 g for professionals. Both are teardrops with Power Foam and a high balance label, and the One X rates higher on power. **Is the Head Speed One 2025 head-heavy?** Shops label the balance high, which means more weight toward the head. The balance point in millimetres is not published, so how head-heavy it really is remains unknown. **Is 345 g too light for an advanced player?** Not in itself. A lighter racket is quicker and easier on the arm, and the high balance label puts part of the weight back at the head. If you want more mass behind the ball, the 365 g Speed One X is the heavier option. **Is the Speed One 2025 suitable for a sensitive arm?** Partly. The light weight and the soft Power Foam core help, but a head-heavy balance loads the arm, and the profile rates comfort medium. The Siux Pegasus Graphene 1K is a teardrop rated higher on comfort. **Is the Speed One 2025 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Fair price" 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.

That counts as light. Each racket can differ within that range. [Why a range? →](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/)
