Extra durability, plenty of power for a teardrop racket
Utilizing Head's unique One construction, the Speed One X stands out for its singular hole in the racket's face. While air resistance is increased, the racket still handles well thanks to its middle-of-the-road weight. A big upside of the One construction is greater durability, so those looking for excellent long-term value should consider the Speed One X for its ability to hold up well over time. Elsewhere, the Speed One X combines a substantial 365 gram weight with a higher 270 mm balance, making it slightly skewed towards power, despite being a teardrop racket. Internally, Head's Power Foam improves stability and comfort throughout contact while also increasing dwell time. The hitting surface is a unique 2D-layered carbon fiber makeup, which has excellent texture for grabbing the ball for spin-based shots, and remains firm for more powerful mechanics. Additionally, Head's Auxetic 2.0 construction facilitates increased responsiveness, utilizing auxetic fibers that bend atypically to normal compression, getting wider where other materials would otherwise become compressed. Increasing comfort in the handle, Head's Soft Buttcap 2.0 technology makes for a softer impact sensation without sacrificing connection to the ball. For fans of teardrop-shaped rackets maybe looking for extra durability, the Speed One X is a great option for advanced and tournament level players.

Technologies:
- Auxetic 2.0: Feel every shot and get more confidence in your game with Auxetic 2.0 technology, placed in both the carbon-engineered yoke and the middle bar in the grip. It actively responds, giving real-time, super-accurate feedback. Double the connection and double the feeling.
- Graphene Inside: Strategically positioned in most Head rackets, Graphene strengthens the frame, provides greater stability, and optimizes energy transfer from racket to ball.
- Extreme Spin: Extreme Spin is a rough 3D decal technology that maximizes the spin and traction on the ball.
- 2D CARBON HS: The 2-dimensional woven carbon fiber in the hitting surface is tailor made for additional stiffness and strength. This special carbon fiber material is ideal to add control and explosive power to your game.
- Smart Bridge: Every single racket has its own character and DNA. Smart Bridge technology is the specific and unique development of the yoke area construction to deliver different benefits adapting to the needs of each racket.
- Power Foam: Power Foam is the perfect ally to get the maximum power and force, enhancing attacking shots like smash, X3 or X4.
- Tailored Frame: Each racket frame is meticulously crafted and engineered for optimal performance. Some rackets are tubeless, amplifying the foam surface area by suppressing the tube to maximize sweet spot, increase playability, and obtain higher tolerance.
- Soft Butt Cap 2.0: The improved soft buttcap is made of a two-component soft material construction providing comfortable and soft handling. It is useful for dampening vibration and pressure reduction, preventing injuries and blisters.
- DAMP Plus: The unique Damp Plus insert, strategically located in the yoke area, isolates impact vibrations coming from the hitting surface to the grip providing extra comfort.
- Anti-Shock Skin: Special polymer foil which increases the durability of the racket, protecting it from bumps and scratches. It can also be easily replaced, maximizing the lifespan.
