[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer A 365 g teardrop with a high balance, aimed at advanced attackers who live at the net. The one court test on file praised its heavy ball on volleys and overheads but called it demanding in defense and negative on comfort. Power is the one thing every source agrees on. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 28 September 2026 Choose it if - you attack from the net and finish points with volleys and overheads - early preparation and clean contact are already habits, not goals - a fixed 365 g with a high balance sounds like a feature, not a warning Skip it if - you defend a lot and often contact the ball late, the Head Speed Pro X 2025 is more forgiving - your arm complains after long matches, because comfort tests low here - the same shape with less weight appeals more, the Head Speed One 2025 comes in at 345 g ## How it plays 8.3 **padell.io score 8.3** Play 8.2 (60%) and reviews 8.4 (40%).

Checked every night. ## What reviewers say Two sources have weighed in, and they agree on less than you might expect. padel.how gives 77 out of 100, Padelzoom 8.5 out of 10. Both rate the power positively, and padel.how adds that volleys and overheads produce a heavy, penetrating ball. After that they split. Padelzoom lists control and maneuverability as strengths and mentions a good sweet spot. padel.how warns about late defensive contacts and recovery, rates comfort and grip negatively, and calls the sweet spot neutral. Padelzoom's only notable minus, limited ball exit speed, appears nowhere in padel.how's notes. The practical reading: trust the power, and treat the easy handling as unproven until you have swung it in defense yourself. [**padel.how** 7.7 “Its prepared acceleration does not make difficult defense easy: early preparation and clean contact remain essential.” Read the full review →](https://padel.how/equipment/racket/head-speed-one-x-2025-review/) The Head Speed One X 2025 is a teardrop racket. It weighs a fixed 365 g, carries a high balance, and Head lists it at the professional level. On paper that reads like an attacking racket for players whose technique is already in place. The interesting part is how badly the two reviews on file disagree about it. They agree on exactly one thing: this racket hits hard. ## One court test, one spec calculation, two different rackets Two sources have rated the Speed One X, and they describe almost two different rackets. padel.how actually played it and gave 77 out of 100. Their testers praised a heavy, penetrating ball on volleys and overheads, but flagged late defensive contacts and recovery as demanding. Comfort and grip came out negative, control and power positive, the sweet spot neutral. Padelzoom never took it on court: its 8.5 out of 10 is computed from the specs. That calculation praises the control and even the maneuverability, plus strong power and a good sweet spot. Its one real minus is a somewhat limited ball exit speed. Read them together and the picture sharpens. Both see the power. They split on maneuverability and the sweet spot. That is exactly where a spec sheet and a real match tend to diverge for a heavy, head-heavy racket. ## 365 g with a high balance: what that demands in defense The weight is fixed at 365 g. There is no lighter version to pick. Combined with the high balance, that puts a lot of mass toward the head, and you notice it in two directions. Swing early at the net and the racket adds punch for free. Get caught late at the back glass and the same mass works against you. padel.how's conclusion is that early preparation and clean contact stay essential, because the racket's prepared acceleration does not make difficult defense easy. That matches the meter readings, where maneuverability sits low. If your game leans on scrambling and late saves, this racket will tax that part of it. The fix, if there is one, is positioning: play a step earlier and let the weight do the hitting. ## Power Foam under carbon: soft core, firm face The core is Power Foam, a soft foam, under a carbon face with a rough surface. Retailers list the frame as reinforced with Graphene Inside, and one shop lists the head at 465 cm2. Normally a soft core means easy ball output and some built-in comfort. Here the story is different. Padelzoom found the ball exit speed somewhat limited, and the tested review rated comfort negative. The high power meter comes from the weight and the balance, not from a springy core. The rough face is there for extra grip on the ball, which generally helps spin. Head backs that with a high spin rating of its own, discussed below. ## Head's own numbers against the meters Head's own ratings, found through a web search, are Power 10, Control 9, Comfort 9, Maneuverability 7 and Spin 10. Treat those as the brand grading its own homework. Two of them line up with independent readings. The power matches, and Head's 7 on maneuverability at least points the same way as the low meter and the court test. The 9 on comfort does not. Nobody outside Head has found this a comfortable racket, and the meter reads low there. The Spin 10 ties with Power as Head's highest self-rating. It is plausible given the rough surface, but no independent source confirms it. ## Speed One X, Speed One or Speed Pro X 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**](https://padell.io/rackets/head/speed-one-2025/) **One X** [**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/) The closest sibling is the [Head Speed One 2025](https://padell.io/compare/head-speed-one-x-2025-vs-head-speed-one-2025/), the same [teardrop shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) and high balance at 345 g. The product page claims the X version gains stability from the extra weight. On the meters, the lighter One reads Medium on comfort where the X reads Low. If the shape appeals but 365 g does not, that is the natural comparison. The [Head Speed Pro X 2025](https://padell.io/rackets/head/speed-pro-x-2025/) is the other fork. It runs 360 to 370 g with a medium-high balance. Its comfort and sweet spot both read Medium against Low here, while the power stays high. The [direct comparison](https://padell.io/compare/head-speed-one-x-2025-vs-head-speed-pro-x-2025/) is worth a look if you want attacking output with less defensive cost. The [Drop Shot Explorer Pro Attack Soft](https://padell.io/rackets/drop-shot/explorer-pro-attack-soft/) is a third option with a medium sweet spot, though its comfort also reads low. ## The numbers Head never published Some basics are simply not published. There is no balance figure in millimetres, so the high balance label cannot be checked against a number. The frame thickness is not published either, and neither is the handle length. A web search result lists the length at 455 mm, but that comes from a search snippet, so treat it as unconfirmed. Retailers do list a Damp Plus anti-vibration system in the bridge, which is worth knowing given the low comfort readings elsewhere. None of this stops you buying the racket. It does mean that if you like comparing balance points and beam widths across models, you cannot do that here.

The product page claims the extra weight adds stability. On the meters, the Speed One reads Medium on comfort where the X reads Low. **Is the Head Speed One X 2025 suitable for intermediate players?** It is listed at the professional level, and the court test on file called it demanding in defense with negative comfort. Most intermediates will have an easier time with the Head Speed Team 2025, which covers beginner to advanced and reads High on comfort. **Head Speed One X 2025 or Head Speed Pro X 2025?** Both are teardrops with high power. The Pro X runs 360 to 370 g with a medium-high balance. It reads Medium on comfort and sweet spot, against Low on both for the One X. Pick the One X for maximum weight up high, the Pro X for less defensive cost. **Is the Head Speed One X 2025 arm friendly?** The signs say no. Comfort reads Low, the tested review rated it negative, and 365 g with a high balance is a heavy load on the elbow. Retailers list a Damp Plus anti-vibration system in the bridge, which helps, but it does not change the weight. **Is the Speed One X 2025 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Pricey today" compared with the rackets that play most alike.

[Compare side by side →](https://padell.io/compare/head-speed-one-x-2025-vs-head-speed-pro-x-2025/) **Who should not buy it?** Skip it if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (5.0/10). **How heavy is it really?** The brand gives 365 g. That counts as medium. Each racket can differ within that range. [Why a range? →](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/)
