The HEAD Instinct PWR 115 2025 is built for beginners, senior players, and doubles specialists with short or compact swing mechanics who require maximum power, arm protection, and forgiveness. Sporting a stylish asymmetrical color-block cosmetic featuring bright crystal light blue and midnight navy, this ultra-lightweight frame pairs effortless depth with high maneuverability.
Weighing just 230 grams (unstrung) with an expansive 115 square-inch head size and an extended 27.7-inch length, it provides extra court reach, high leverage on serves, and a generous sweet spot that forgives off-center hits.
Performance Profile
- Forgiveness & Sweet Spot (10/10): Maximum. The oversized 115 sq. in. hoop minimizes off-center mishits, keeping late or off-center balls deep in play.
- Free Power & Depth (10/10): Effortless. A wide, constant 29 mm beam paired with an extended 27.7 in. length acts like a catapult, driving shots across the net with minimal swing input.
- Arm Comfort & Vibration Dampening (9.5/10): Superior. Updated with HEAD's Auxetic technology in the yoke to absorb impact shock and deliver a soft, connected ball contact.
- Maneuverability (9.0/10): High. At only 230 g unstrung, it is exceptionally easy to handle, allowing for fast net setups and quick volley exchanges in doubles.
- Spin Access (8.0/10): Generous. The open 16x19 string pattern combined with extended leverage makes hitting topspin and high kick serves accessible.
Key Technologies
- Auxetic Technology: Integrated into the yoke region, optimizing real-time feedback and energy transfer for a clean, connected impact feel.
- Graphene Inside: Positioned at strategic frame locations along the hoop to reinforce structural stability and optimize energy transfer into the ball.
- Wide Constant Beam (29 mm): Thick, rigid beam profile engineered to maximize frame power, minimize frame deformation, and increase stability.
- Extended Reach (27.7 in): Adds 0.7 inches over standard length for extra leverage on serves, overheads, and defensive scrambles.
