A year and a half after the launch of the HEAD Speed Legend, the second edition of one of the most exclusive tennis rackets ever created arrives, as we are talking about the main weapon of the greatest tennis player of all time: Novak Djokovic. The Serbian has also been involved in the design of this new racket, released last August and which we will detail with care.

Aesthetically, Nole wanted the new HEAD Speed Legend to shine in a brilliant black color. This gives the racket elegance and an exclusive touch, adorned on the frame's sides with forged carbon, a material used in high-end cars. Thinking about Djokovic means thinking of the absolute elite in the history of this sport. This design fits perfectly with a figure like his.

Moreover, the new Speed Legend is embellished with golden touches. The Serbian logo and the HEAD letters on the frame shine brightly in this color. These golden lines are inspired by his dazzling level of tennis on the court and his historic victories over the last twenty years.

New groundbreaking technology

HEAD has introduced in this new racket a technology that promises to be groundbreaking in the tennis world. It is called Hy-bor. But what is Hy-bor? It is a material that arises from a mixture of carbon fibers with boron fibers. This is mainly used in the high-tech aerospace industry or even in Formula 1 cars.

This material, strategically added to the racket's shafts, allows the new Speed Legend to have great stability and firmness, making it move less when hitting and even gaining a bit in terms of power. All with the aim of gaining solidity with the ball impact sensation, as having a stiffer frame, the racket flexes better in response to exchanges from the baseline. Those who like to feel the ball from the back will love this racket.

This new Hy-bor technology goes hand in hand with the well-known Auxetic 2.0, which provides a unique sensation when connecting with the ball. This new Speed Legend has a unique sweet spot, slightly larger than the previous model, producing a surrounding and mesmerizing sound when the ball is hit right there. This creates a unique feeling when playing. HEAD aims for the player to feel that unique connection with the racket while providing stability and power.

Two models: HEAD Speed Pro Legend and Speed Legend MP

HEAD has launched two models of this racket, both recommended by Novak Djokovic. The Pro Legend is slightly heavier than the MP (around 10 grams) and is aimed mainly at advanced-level players seeking a versatile racket in terms of precision, control, and stability. The swing is slightly bigger than the MP, although its balance is slightly lower. It requires a high technique, so consider yourselves warned.

On the other hand, the MP has this higher balance, as well as a string pattern of 16x19, different from the Pro Legend's 18x20. This makes the MP suitable for intermediate-level players looking for a versatile racket. It can match with various types of players, including doubles players or those who move well at the net, as it offers very good stability.

A racket inspired by the figure of Novak Djokovic

The Serbian has carved his own path in the world of tennis and has reached Olympus thanks to his achievements on the court. Novak's latest major milestone has been that Olympic Gold, which has put the icing on an absolutely monumental career. Hence those golden details on the new Speed Legend, to commemorate that gold from the medal achieved in Paris in 2024.

At 38 years old, Djokovic has not yet planned to end his career and aims to achieve the 25th Grand Slam title, to become the male or female player with the highest number of majors. He still sees himself capable of making it possible, and in this 2025, he has reached the semifinals of all the majors to become the third-best player of the year, proving that there are hardly any impossibilities for him, even as he approaches 40.

There is no tennis statistic that Novak does not lead. Wherever you look, Grand Slam, Masters 1000, weeks at number 1, Masters Cup, etc., etc., etc., the Belgrade native always appears at the top, showing why he is the best player to have stepped onto a tennis court. This new Speed Legend is meant to commemorate what makes him unique as a tennis player. There is no better way to feel a bit like him.
