Perfect for the attacking, front-court player who is seeking more touch, the SPEED 120 SQUASH RACQUET has been upgraded with state-of-the-art Auxetic 2.0 technology for sensational feel. Endorsed by Olivia Weaver, and engineered with some of HEAD’s most advanced technologies, this racquet has also been refreshed with a new, eye-catching design which features a metallic, champagne color. Along with the Octagonal Power Technology in the shaft for extra power and a softer feel, the ultra-modern 120g frame comes with Stringbed X-Tension Technology which increases rebound for additional power.
The technologies also include HEAD's Adaptive Fan Pattern, which allows you to choose between a straight string pattern for more power or a special fan-shaped pattern for enhanced control, while the teardrop-shaped frame allows for extra power.

Auxetic 2.0
Auxetic engineering gives a unique experience compared to non-Auxetic constructions. Due to their internal properties, Auxetic constructions expand when a "pull" force is applied and contract when squeezed. The bigger the applied force, the bigger the Auxetic reaction. The Auxetic cage means you feel the impact right when and where the action happens, it is the ultimate connection between player and racquet.
Graphene Inside
Refers to Head's use of Graphene, the world's strongest and lightest material, within the construction of their tennis rackets to improve performance. The Graphene is strategically placed to optimize the racket's weight distribution, enhance energy transfer, provide greater stability, and improve power and control. Head has developed several versions of this technology, such as Graphene XT, Graphene Touch, Graphene 360, and Graphene 360+, each with advancements in how Graphene is integrated to achieve different playing characteristics.
Octagonal Power Technology (OPT)
HEAD’s engineers have implemented the new Octagonal Power Technology into the shaft of the racquet which features more power and a solid feel through the octagonal shape of the construction.
Stringbed X-Tension
The groove in the upper part of the frame enlarges the space where the strings are able to move during ball contact. This enables an extended use of the trampoline effect and creates more acceleration. It gives you the extra power and ball speed you need to excel in your game.
AFP
More power or more control - now you can have it all in one squash racquet. The new Adaptive Fan Pattern (AFP) technology allows you to choose between two different pattern depending on your individual style of play and personal needs. You can choose between the straight string pattern to maximize your power game and the special fan-shaped pattern to optimize your ability to control the ball. The new AFP technology is available in the new Radical & Speed racquet series.
