HEAD Gravity MP L 2025 Tennis Racquet

The HEAD Gravity MP L 2025 (Lite) is the fast, highly maneuverable version of the popular Gravity MP, designed for players who want the control, plush feel, and signature teardrop sweet spot of the MP series in a lighter 280-gram frame. Updated for 2025 with Auxetic 2.0 technology running into the handle, it offers exceptional shock absorption, clear ball feedback, and effortless racquet-head speed.

Performance Profile

1. Maneuverability & Handling: Superior. At 280 g (unstrung), it whips through the contact zone with minimal effort. This light weight allows developing players to generate rapid head speed on groundstrokes and react quickly at the net.
2. Sweet Spot & Forgiveness: Excellent. The 100 sq. in. teardrop-shaped head expands the sweet spot higher up on the stringbed, making off-center hits comfortable and forgiving without sacrificing accuracy.
3. Control & Precision: High. Despite its lighter weight, its 22 mm constant box beam and controlled 16x20 string pattern provide a predictable launch angle and pinpoint directional control.
4. Feel & Comfort: Outstanding. With a flexible frame (~57–60 RA) and Auxetic 2.0 dampening, it filters out harsh vibrations, delivering a buttery, arm-friendly response on every stroke.
5. Power: Moderate / Player-Friendly. Rated at a Control Power Index (CPI) of 500, it provides more inherent depth than the standard MP or TOUR, helping players with medium swing speeds get easy ball depth.

Best Suited For

1. Improving Intermediate Players: Hitters transitioning from lightweight beginner frames into a true control/feel racquet without taking on too much static weight.
2. Aggressive Juniors: Advanced juniors moving up into their first 27-inch adult performance frame who need high maneuverability and spin capability.
3. Comfort-Seeking Adult Club Players: Players looking for a plush, flexible frame that protects the arm, elbow, and wrist during long rallies.
4. Platform for Lead Customization: Experienced players who prefer starting with a lighter base frame to strategically add weight (lead/tungsten tape) at specific points on the hoop and handle.
