HEAD Speed 120 Slimbody Squash Racquet

The HEAD Speed 120 Slimbody is a premium, top-tier squash racket designed specifically for advanced, tournament, and professional players who play a high-tempo game. Endorsed and used by many of the world's leading PSA World Tour pros, it is engineered for ultimate maneuverability, deceptive wrist flicks, and tactical front-court touch.

While standard frames focus on raw power, the Slimbody variation prioritizes radical swing speed, aerodynamics, and precision ball retrieval.

Core Performance Description

1. The Ultra-Aerodynamic Slimbody Beam: The defining feature of this racket is its exceptionally thin 16mm beam profile. This slimmed-down geometric chassis slices through the air with minimal drag, providing an incredibly fast swing speed. Furthermore, the ultra-thin frame allows you to scrape tight balls off the side walls much more easily than with a thick-beamed racket, minimizing the risk of frame-clipping the plaster.
2. Featherweight Agility: Carrying a raw unstrung weight of just 120 grams, this is one of the lightest high-performance models HEAD manufactures. To maximize its whippy, lightning-fast nature, it is balanced to be head-light. It concentrates its mass near your hand, making it the perfect weapon for hunting rapid reaction volleys on the T and making deceptive, last-second wrist changes.

Adaptive Fan Pattern (AFP): Like its heavier siblings, the Speed 120 Slimbody features HEAD's Adaptive Fan Pattern tech, effectively offering two completely different string bed behaviors:

• 12 x 17 Straight Pattern: The default factory layout, which maximizes string stretch and elasticity for an explosive "trampoline effect" and easy power.
• 16 x 17 Fan Pattern: Radiates the strings outward across the 500 cm² head to stiffen the bed, giving you surgical placement, heightened cut, and immense control over your drop shots.

Key Technologies

1. Auxetic 2.0 Technology: Built into the internal matrix of the throat and handle, this advanced carbon material reacts dynamically on impact. It provides crisp, highly accurate tactile feedback directly to your hand, giving you an elite connection to the ball for executing subtle, soft-touch front-court drops.
2. Teardrop Geometry: The open-throat structure elongates the main strings down into the shaft, which helps naturally offset the ultra-thin 16mm beam by generating automated depth on your baseline drives.

Summary: The HEAD Speed 120 Slimbody is a precise surgical tool built for ultra-fast, attacking players. By stripping the frame weight to a nimble 120g and introducing a razor-thin 16mm aerodynamic beam, it allows advanced players to react instantly, retrieve tight wall shots effortlessly, and command the T with deceptive pace.
