[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Head Speed Team 2025 is the softest door into Head's 2025 Speed line. It is a teardrop with a fiberglass face and Power Foam core at 365 g, prioritising comfort and a forgiving sweet spot over power. The one court test available rates it 75 out of 100 and flags lost precision at high incoming pace. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 5 October 2026 Choose it if - you value a soft, comfortable touch and easy depth from the back of the court - you are an intermediate player who wants teardrop control without a stiff carbon face - you play long rallies and build points with placement rather than smashes Skip it if - you finish points at the net and need punch the low power meter will not give you - you face hard hitters whose pace punishes a soft face, so look at the Head Speed Pro 2025 instead - you want a lighter, quicker racket at the net, where the Head Speed Motion 2025 suits better ## How it plays 8.3 **padell.io score 8.3** Play 8.3 (60%) and reviews 8.2 (40%).

Checked every night. ## What reviewers say Only one source has played this racket on court. Padel.how tested it and scored it 75 out of 100. Their positives line up with the specs: comfort, control and sweet spot all rated positively. They also praised easy depth from defense, and described the sweet spot as the broadest usable one compared to the rest of the 2025 Speed trio. Their criticism is precise: power and grip rated negative, and the soft face loses precision when the incoming ball arrives at high pace. There is no second court test on file to confirm or challenge that verdict. Treat 75 out of 100 as one informed opinion, not a consensus. [**padel.how** 7.5 Best for Intermediate players wanting soft, comfortable teardrop control Read the full review →](https://padel.how/equipment/racket/head-speed-team-2025-review/) The Head Speed Team 2025 is the softest racket in Head's 2025 Speed line. That single fact tells you most of the story before you look at anything else. This is a teardrop built to feel comfortable and forgiving, not to hit winners for you. If that trade sounds right, keep reading. If you want a racket that adds pace, look elsewhere in the same family. ## Fiberglass and Power Foam in a carbon family: the comfort recipe Look at the other 2025 Speed rackets and a pattern appears. The [Speed Pro](https://padell.io/rackets/head/speed-pro-2025/), [Speed Motion](https://padell.io/rackets/head/speed-motion-2027/) and [Speed One](https://padell.io/rackets/head/speed-one-2025/) all use carbon or a carbon and fiberglass mix in the face. The Speed Team goes with a plain fiberglass face and a Power Foam core. Both are soft materials. Fiberglass flexes more than carbon at impact, and soft foam absorbs more of the ball. On court that means a muted, cushioned contact. The ball stays on the face a touch longer, which helps you place it and absorb hard shots at the back of the court. The frame uses Graphene Inside and Smart Bridge, and shops also list an Anti Shock Skin Padel polymer layer against scratches and bumps. The handle has a soft cap, which Head says adds softness and stability to the grip. The surface is flat, so no extra grip on the ball from a rough finish. ## 365 g with medium balance: why the maneuverability meter reads Low The weight is fixed at 365 g, with no range listed. The balance sits at 265 mm, which shops label Medium. That combination puts the maneuverability meter at Low. What does that mean for you? In slow and medium exchanges you will not notice it. The even balance keeps the head from feeling top heavy. In fast net exchanges, though, 365 g is a lot of racket to move late. If your reactions are quick and your technique is tidy, you can live with it. If you often feel late on volleys, the 355 g [Head Speed Motion 2025](https://padell.io/rackets/head/speed-motion-2025/) is the lighter sibling in the family. That is the real cost of the comfort: not weight in absolute terms, but speed when the rally gets frantic. ## 75 out of 100 from the one court test: comfort praised, precision at pace questioned One source has actually played this racket. Padel.how tested it and gave it 75 out of 100. They rated comfort, control and sweet spot positively. They also highlighted easy depth from defense, and described the sweet spot as the broadest usable one compared to the rest of the 2025 Speed trio. The criticism matters as much. They rated power and grip negative, and found that the soft face lacks precision when the incoming ball arrives fast. That is a classic soft racket trade. The same flex that cushions your touch also lets a hard ball deform the face and spray off line. If most of your matches are against patient players at your level, you will rarely see the problem. Against big hitters, you will. ## Low power on the meter: what you give up and how you play around it The power meter reads Low. The soft foam and fiberglass face both pull it down, and the tested review agreed. You will not get free depth on smashes, and viboras take your own swing speed. Is that a deal breaker? Only if your game depends on finishing. You can play around low power in two ways. First, swing longer and faster yourself, since the forgiving face tolerates a full swing. Second, win with placement and consistency instead of pace, which suits the [teardrop shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) and medium balance anyway. Players who defend well and counter with lobs and chiquitas will find this racket matches that style. Players who want the racket to do the hitting will not. ## Thickness and pro player not published: what you cannot check Two facts you might look for are simply not published. No shop or the brand lists the frame thickness in millimetres, and no pro player is attached to this model. The Speed Motion 2025 has Ari Sánchez behind it; the Speed Team has nobody. That tells you where it sits in the family: the accessible member, not the tour poster racket. If either fact matters to you, you cannot verify it before buying, so check it in the shop in person. 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**](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** ## Speed Team, Radical Elite, Astra Hybrid or Alpha Tour: picking your soft teardrop If a soft teardrop is what you want, you have options. The [Head Radical Elite 2024](https://padell.io/compare/head-radical-elite-2024-vs-head-speed-team-2025/) is also 365 g with a fiberglass face. Its Control Foam core and slightly lower 260 mm balance give it a Medium power rating against the Speed Team's Low. It is aimed at beginners and intermediates, while Head lists the Speed Team for everyone from beginner to advanced. The [Siux Astra Hybrid 2026](https://padell.io/compare/head-speed-team-2025-vs-siux-astra-hybrid-2026/) runs a 3K fiberglass face and Soft EVA core across a 360 to 375 g [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/), also with Medium power. The [Head Graphene 360 Alpha Tour](https://padell.io/rackets/head/graphene-360-alpha-tour/) sits at 370 g with Power Foam and fiberglass, rated for advanced players, again with more power on the meter. All three give back some punch. None of them is softer. If comfort and forgiveness are your priorities, the Speed Team stays the purist's pick. If you want one racket that does a bit more at the net, the [Astra Hybrid](https://padell.io/rackets/siux/astra-hybrid-2026/) or the [Radical Elite](https://padell.io/rackets/head/radical-elite-2024/) deserve a look first.

The power meter reads Low, and the one court test from padel.how also rated power negative. You generate your own pace with a full swing, or you win points with placement instead. **Is the Speed Team 2025 easy on the arm?** The soft Power Foam core and fiberglass face both absorb impact, and padel.how rated comfort positively after playing it. The 365 g weight is the counterpoint: a heavy racket can tire the arm over long sessions even when the materials are soft. **Is the Speed Team 2025 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Fair price" compared with the rackets that play most alike.
