Отзывы о Ракетка для тенниса HEAD Tour Pro 2022 233422, Gr 4

I've been a tennis player for many years and am just getting back in to it. I have had many expensive rackets before and this one may not quite live up to those lofty expectations, but for casual play this will be perfect. It is light so good for kids, comes pre-strung and feels great in the hand. We have all used cheap rackets before for just playing once a year at the park and this is way better than that. If you are looking for a value solution or even to play once a week, this is a good solution. The technology has improved over the years so you can get a good one like this at a good price and that is great to see.

Works really well. Nice racket. Good strings. Comfortable grip.

I'm only a casual tennis player but my experience so far with this racket is positive. The racket offers a good amount of power and control despite it being very lightweight. The grip cushion provides a good handle and doesn't get slippery. It's a pleasure to play with. So far the quality seems excellent but if I see any issues over time I will update this review.

Note that the racket does not come with a protective cover or bag.

As a beginner, I wasn't sure what to begin with. This brand was recommended to me so I thought would give it a swing. So far it has been great. I ordered the 4- 1/4 which seems like a good match for me. The racket is light enough but also has enough power to move the ball. The blue color is very eye catching. I'm very happy with it thus far.

I’m a longtime Head player and recently picked up three of this newer series to update the racquets of my wife and kids. Each has a reasonably sized “head” and is well strung considering the price. The Metallix Attitude is the most basic, yet a fine racket to learn and appreciate the game. An excellent value.

Now go out there and play to win!

Despite my positive initial reaction, it developed a large deep crack (1.5") on the throat after the 3rd use. There were no accidents, this was just light use. I believe it happened when a ball hit the throat of the racquet after a miss-hit.

This is totally unacceptable, and I have never had a racquet crack like this, even my decade-old racquets have never had anything close to this.

Below is my initial review, which is a comparison of 4 different Head racquets. At this point I'm going to assume this crack was a fluke issue and hope that I don't have any other issues, with this or the other racquets.

I did receive an immediate replacement, and the replacement racquet is holding up just fine. I'm giving them a 3-star and crossing my fingers the crack was just a fluke (would otherwise be a 4-4.5 star).

If you're new to tennis, or haven't purchased a racquet in a while, I suggest using the tennis racquet finder tool on the Head web site. The problem is, they don't seem to have almost any of the beginner and mid grade racquets on their site or in their finder tool. In fact, of the 4 racquets I tried, I could only find the specs to one of them on the Head web site. Nonetheless, the finder tool is useful in identifying racquet features that are right for your style, things you may not have considered before.

These are the 4 racquets I tested:

-Head Metallix Attitude Elite Blue ($59) 9.3 ounces, 102 head size, aluminum
-Head Metallix Attitude Pro White ($69) 9.5 ounces, 100 head size, graphite composite
-Head Metallix Spark Tour Stealth ($79) 9.7 ounces, 100 head size, graphite composite
-Head Graphene Extreme MP ($89) 11.1 ounces, 100 head size, graphene

The Graphene Extreme MP is my daily racquet, and it's a more advanced racquet. The MP stands for "mid plus", which means it's got a longer handle for extra power. You wouldn't think that 1.5 ounces would be that noticeable, but it is, this one is obviously heavier than the others.

The Attitude Elite Blue is the only all metal racquet in the group, made from aluminum. Actually I found this the most responsive, all the others are a bit stiff. Plus it's the lightest AND the least expensive in the bunch. Actually when I want to give my arm a break, or if playing with a sore wrist, this is the racquet I grab, because I like that it's not as stiff as the other.

The Attitude Pro White and the Spark Tour Stealth are very similar, almost identical.

All of them were light weight, and they're making them lighter and lighter (new materials like graphene). Also the prices are coming down, so you can easily find a really nice racquet for under $100, which was impossible just a few short years ago.

The lighter weight is great for maneuverability and quick changes. But lighter materials are also great for older players and people with arm/shoulder injuries, as it really decreases the risk of tennis elbow and other injuries.

As I mentioned, the newer materials make for stiffer racquets, which I don't care for, but is a fair tradeoff. Also, on the subject of tennis elbow, the rigid racquets does twang quite a bit, so most people will still benefit from some sort of vibration control.

I do have a few complaints. My Graphen Extreme MP came prestrung with 16 gauge synthetic strings, but on the other 3 racquest there is no mention of the type of strings or the tension used. They are all strung a bit too tight for me - but it's probably ok for beginners.

I also found all of the racquets a bit inconsistent at times, with the aluminum Attitude Elite Blue coming in first place for consistency.

All of them give you adequate topspin on ground strokes and serve, my other "fun" spins (backspin, slicing, etc) were a bit inconsistent. I'm not sure if that's the racquet or the strings. All of the racquests were a bit noisy as well - again, I'm not sure if that's the racquet, strings, or combination of the two.

Overall, though, I was impressed with all 4 of these racquests, especially given the price point. The comfort level was great, they all look great, and they're all highly maneuverable. I hope my comments help you decide which might be best for you, but frankly you can't go wrong with any of these. If you send your youngster to school with one of these racquets they'll be fine, nobody is going to laugh at them, everyone respects Head, and none of these have any glaring deficiencies (except none come with a cover, I hope you have a bag to put it in).

One final note - I find shopping for racquets to be overwhelming, it seems Head alone has about a thousand options. Actually, they're "variations" on a racquet - they'll use a body style, and tweak it in a dozen different ways (different strings, different head weight, different string pattern, longer handle, etc) to make a dozen different products. I personally would much prefer a custom "build a racquet" feature, where I can choose the frame, then pick the strings, tension, grip size, handle length, etc.

Nonetheless, if you're a beginner and have no clue where to start, I saw the Head GeoSpeed raquet at the local value mart for just $30, and it's a pretty decent racquet. It's going to have fewer amenities (like cheaper nylon strings) but it is absolutely adequate for a beginner. I played on a much lesser racquet for the first two years of my tennis career. Before overthinking racquets, or spending too much money, you may want to spend a season or two developing the fundamentals and deciding if you love the sport and want to continue.
